CSV Backup Problem
Hello
Today I installed veeam to backup our Hyper-V Test Cluster. All our VM's are stored on a CSV Volume.
When I backup a single machine it works fine. When I backup 2 machines at a same time, VM's on my cluster are getting a bluescreen.
I think it's because during the backup the CSV Volumes are in redirected mode, because I can't use VSS Hardware Providers. When then the 2nd backup starts, the Cluster has a problem.
Does anybody else have the same problem. How is veeam solving this problem when VSS Hardware Providers can't be used?
Thanks for your help.

Re: CSV Backup Problem
Hi,
If hardware provider cannot be used, then software VSS provider is used for volume snapshot. Second VM backup would then wait until the first one is backed up and snapshot is removed (software VSS only supports 1 snapshot per volume). So, this situation should be handled correctly, there were no issues observed by beta customers.
How did you add your Hyper-V server into Veeam B&R console? Did you add it as a cluster or a standalone server?
Thanks!

Re: CSV Backup Problem
I've added the servers as a Cluster. I added the clustername and veeam has read automatically the information about the hosts.
I've also some other problems:
- When the backup starts it generates vss errors on the hyper-V host.
(Error 8194, Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error querying for the IVssWriterCallback interface. hr = 0x80070005, Access is denied)
- During the backup the following warning appears (Unable to use changed block tracking, CTP changes table is not loaded)
but a *.ctp file starting with the hostsname exists on the CSV Volume..

Re: CSV Backup Problem
I would suggest then to log a support call on this to let them see the logs as the problem might lie a bit deeper. Thanks.

Re: CSV Backup Problem
Arnaud, the OP haven't updated this topic with the resolution and I also cannot get any valuable information from the e-mail thread related to his support case. So I would suggest you to open another one for your own investigation. Thanks!

Re: CSV Backup Problem
hi Gostev,
I found out the problem (error 8194...IVssWriterCallback...) on Hyper-V host when backing up VMs on a CSV :
Go to DCOM setup : dcomcnfg --> Expand Component Services, Computers --> Right-click My Computer --> Properties --> COM Security tab.
Under Access Permission click Edit Default. --> add the "Network Service" account with Local Access allowed.
Restart the computer !
no more 8194 error.
as for the CBT error (in Veeam log I had “failed to flush file changes”, or “failed to call RPC function ‘HvCtpFlushChanges’…)
I think the problem was caused after adding a *.vhd to a VM without modifying Veeam job (I should have "recalculate" VM size in Veeam job before launching backup again.)

Re: CSV Backup Problem
The support tech had me disable CBT. Issue seems to be fixed, without CBT enabled.

Re: CSV Backup Problem
Getting a similar issue with CBT no longer working in a backup job where it previously worked.
20/04/2012 02:04:11 :: Unable to use changed block tracking. CTP changes table is not loaded. The system cannot find the file specified
I also get the following in the event log when the job starts:
I've added the DCOM permissions as suggested but will have to wait till weekend to see if it helps.
