Hi all, I am currently implementing NBU 6.5.1 with VCB 1.1. Am using Netapps FAS2020 iSCSI LUNs. However on running the backup in NBU 6.5.1 with VCB 1.1, I always get snapshot error.
We always get error code 156. Error Message: FTL - snapshot creation failed, status 156 Although I can see the VM snapshot creation in VirtualCenter console, the VMDK backup process never took place and respectively the newly created VM snapshots were deleted automatically by VirtualCenter after few seconds. After inspecting some of the netbackup logs I believe I found the exact cause however I don't have a workaround for it as yet. Fragments from the "bpfis.log" file: 17:52:19.085 [5596.6096] <2> onlfi_vfms_logf: do_cmd: Command failed ""C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Consolidated Backup Framework\vcbMounter.exe" -h esxhost:443 -u "root" -p *********** -c "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Consolidated Backup Framework\vmName.cache" -a ipaddr:vmguest.domain.local -t fullvm -L 6 -r "e:\vcb_mnt\vmguest.domain.local" -M 1 -m san" <NUL >C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\VfMS-05596201020733266096000000002-a06096 2>C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\VfMS-05596201020733266096000000003-a06096 As it can be seen, the command initiated by NetBackup to VCB contains the parameter of using SAN transfer method which is not going to work for me because I don't have SAN infrastructure at all. I would like to use the "-m nbd" feature of VCB for making backups over LAN however I can't find any place where to change this parameter in NetBackup. Initiating the "vcbMounter" manually from CLI with the correct parameter works just great so in my opinion this is definitely a problem with the NetBackup / VCB cooperation. I didn't find any clues neither on the internet nor in the official manuals regarding such situations so I would appreciate very much the help of anyone who can give me some workarounds or additional information on how to procede next. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
