Does anyone have any experience setting up an off-host hyper v proxy with a EMC
VNXe 330 using the EMC
VSS Hardware provider? We have a hyper-v cluster with CSVs hosted on 3 EMC
VNXe 3300s. We'd like to perform off host backups to a backup repository that connects to another EMC
VNXe 3300 that is not a member of the cluster storage. All EMCs are connected via iSCSI. The issue I had initially was the EMC
VSS Hardware Provider did not show up in Veeam when managing the volumes of a server that is a member of the cluster. This KB fixed that:
http://www.veeam.com/kb1861. But now I am encountering this error when performing a backup with the off-host proxy.
Code: Select all
6/12/2014 5:30:23 AM :: Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: Provider [{04aaf00b-f272-4449-ae63-e8ac935a102c}] does not support shadow copies of volume [\\?\Volume{bacbfecd-105b-4cb4-8455-efe0593efd4f}\].
--tr:Failed to add volumes to the snapshot set.
--tr:Failed to perform pre-backup tasks.
The same backup job works fine with on-host backup. The 04aaf00b-f272-4449-ae63-e8ac935a102c referenced above corresponds with the EMC
VSS Hardware Provider installed on the off-host proxy. All hosts in the cluster have the EMC
VSS Hardware Provider installed also.
Any help or insight would be appreciated. I have a support ticket already opened with Veeam, but thought I'd try my luck on the forum also.
Thanks in advance.
