Failed to create VM recovery checkpoint, VHD Set

Post by evros »

Hello. My support has expiried 08.11.2017, but I think that my case will help developers find bugs and fix them.
Have Cluster win2016, two VMs with shared disk (VHDS), two storage^
NetApp, connected by iSCSI
Dell sc2020 connected by SAS (HBA)
When the VMs are located on yc2020 and I start backup, the backup falls into error - it is impossible to create the snapshot.
But when I moved the machines to netapp, the backup was successful.
I attach the log of job for developers: https://www.sendspace.com/file/mapojn

Hello,

Thanks for sharing your case. Did you try to create a snapshot manually when running on sc2020?

Thank you!

If you're using shared VHDX, then only crash-consistent backup is possible. Please take a look at this thread > Backing up a Windows Failover Cluster with Shared vhdx?

Ok, I was just referring to the error message you have on the screenshot. Must be something specific to storage configuration then.

NetApp, connected by iSCSI
Dell sc2020 connected by SAS (HBA)

NetApp - snapshot take by NetApp VSS (installed with SnapDrive)
Dell - snapshot take by MS VSS

Perhaps the reason is this:
Snapshot NetApp is make directly on 2040 (in fact the clone volume is temporarily), and not on the server.
Veeam take backup from the snapshot on 2040
A snapshot of Del is make on the server.
Please? send this info to the developers.

Ok, I will share your scenario with the QA team to see if they can reproduce it or not. Thanks for the heads up!
