powershell cmdlets

[fgw]

vitaliy, already tried this before here are results:

creating a new job with the following command returns this error

Add-VBRBackupJob Job1 VDDK san "My Computer" "H:\" Job1name -Objects "Test7"
Add-VBRBackupJob : Web Service credentials are not set for the host "VCserver"
At line:1 char:17
+ Add-VBRBackupJob <<<< Job1 VDDK san "My Computer" "H:\" Job1name -Objects "Test7"

the job is created, BUT has no vm associated with it. no matter if i use Test7 or "Test7".

the interesting part follows:

if i go ahead and add a vm e.g. Test7 to this job in the gui, and run the following command to remove Test7 and add VEXRHL instead, i receive the same errormessage

Set-VBRBackupJob "Job1" -object VEXRHL
Set-VBRBackupJob : Web Service credentials are not set for the host "VCserver"
At line:1 char:17
+ Set-VBRBackupJob <<<< "Job1" -object VEXRHL

this results in the original vm Test7 removed from the job BUT the vm named VEXRHL does not get added to the job, leaving an empty job!

may be the cmdlets which are run on the backup server needs to communicate with VCserver in order to validate if the vm to be added exists and this communication fails for any reason. all this is done with an administrator account which should have sufficient privs.
is there a certain port which needs to be opened for this communication?

any idea what the errormessage Web Service credentials are not set for the host "VCserver" is telling us?

Franz, can you please send all logs from Help | Support information to support@veeam.com, as we could not reproduce the web service credentials issue easily and would like to inverstigate your specific situation more closely.

Hi there;

i got a quastion about that part of the code:

Code: Select all

$s = $job.GetScheduleOptions()
$s.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$s.OptionsDaily.Time = "12:58:53"
$job.SetScheduleOptions($s)

The job should be set to run on that time once a day.
In my case it is set to run periodically every hour.
Did i do a mistake?

regards
Achim.Z.

Achim,

Let me check this with our PowerShell guru for you, I will post a reply as soon as I get any information from him.

[Vitaliy S.]

Achim, here is the example of running backup/replication job every hour:

Code: Select all

$job = get-vbrjob "JobName"

$sch = $job.getScheduleOptions()
$sch.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $true
$sch.OptionsPeriodically.FullPeriod = 60
$job.SetScheduleOptions($sch)

$opt = $job.GetOptions()
$opt.RunManually = $false
$job.SetOptions($opt)

$job.Save()

Hope this helps!

Hi;

sorry, that the answer took a little;
yes and no: yes, the job can be added, no it is not really what i needed
I need to add the OptionsDaily for a Backup ata special time, eg 22:23h

the point is, if i use:

Code: Select all

$sch = $job.getScheduleOptions()
$sch.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$sch.OptionsDaily.Time = "12:58"
$job.SetScheduleOptions($sch)


the time is set now, but active is still "Periodically every" and not "run at"

Regards
Achim

[Vitaliy S.]

Achim,

Please try to use the example below, it should be exactly what you're looking for:

Code: Select all

$job.SetOptions($opt)
$sch = $job.getScheduleOptions()
$sch.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$sch.OptionsDaily.Enabled
$sch.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $false
$sch.OptionsDaily.Time = "14:00:00"
$job.SetScheduleOptions($sch)
$job.Save()

Thank you!

[Achim.Z.]

Hey, that's funny;

I lost all the jobs, trying to modify with that ... *hahaha*

Code: Select all

$job = get-vbrjob "ServerName"
$job.SetOptions($opt)
$sch = $job.getScheduleOptions()
$sch.OptionsDaily.Enabled = $true
$sch.OptionsDaily.Enabled
$sch.OptionsPeriodically.Enabled = $false
$sch.OptionsDaily.Time = "14:00:00"
$job.SetScheduleOptions($sch)
$job.Save()

regards
Achim

Sorry to hear that, I've just posted an example from the lab of mine, if you are able to reproduce this issue, please contact our technical support team for assistance directly.

[Achim.Z.]

Hi;

I think i have to correct my statement.
The jobs are not gone, they are no longer visable in the gui!

regards
achim

[Vitaliy S.]

Achim, I haven't heard these issues reported before, so please log a support ticket with our technical team for troubleshooting steps.

Hello,
I'm reading through here and it's interesting. I don't know much about PowerShell cmdlt and I used the

>> Start-VBRJob Job1

but it didn't worked. the modarators helped me out and pointed me to the right directions and I found out that I have to write it like this:
>> Get-VBRJob | where {$_.Name –eq “JobName1”} | Start-VBRJob

I gave it a shot and it works for me. I'm planning to schedule a backup sequence for several overlapping jobs. Thanks for the help guys!

I found that the Cmdlet Set-VBRBackupJob is not listed under the available commands, which you can call up with Get-VBRCommand. I see, Set-VBRJobObject listed....

[Alexey D.]

I will ask devs and will post back.

I found that the Cmdlet Set-VBRBackupJob is not listed under the available commands, which you can call up with Get-VBRCommand. I see, Set-VBRJobObject listed....

And what's the question? Have you been successfull in scheduling your jobs? What would you like to accomplish next?

Regarding Set-VBRJobObjects, here is one of the usage examples for this cmdlet: set-vbrjobobject add VC folders
