For the backup stress test I really just used: :start wbadmin start backup -quiet -backupTarget:\\myserver\dummyshare -hyperv:"MYTESTVM" goto start
In our case the VM server did not run anything else and the Ubuntu guest was a minmal install, so the loop took only a couple of minutes, and the backup target was a local share (which was only created for the test) Snapshots can be made using Powershell with: CheckPoint-VM -ComputerName $HyperVHost -Name $VirtualMachine -Snapshotname $Snapshot I managed to crash my test VM once (just ran it manually a couple of times) with the snapshots, but didnt try again because the backup method seemed to work well. For i/o load inside the guest I used bonnie++ with a file size of 512MB and 10 threads -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1470250 Title: [Hyper-V] Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS Generation 2 SCSI Errors on VSS Based Backups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1470250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
