Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
Hi guys,
I am considering upgrading to update 1b and I was wondering of B&B v8 update 3 would support it OK?
I literally just thought of this now, and thought I should also since update 1b only just came out.
Cheers,

Re: Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
One issue that I am investigating is that after upgrading the vmtools Veeam fails trying to quiesce using VM tools.
Out-of date Tools v9.4.10.38250
Current Tools v10.0.0.50046
vcpu-0| I120: Tools: Tools heartbeat timeout.
Reverting back to the previous tools resolves this error.
Taking a snapshot using the VI Client does not product an error quiescing.
Case ID: 01449970
Out-of date Tools v9.4.10.38250
Code: Select all
vcpu-0| I120: ToolsBackup: changing quiesce state: IDLE -> STARTED
vcpu-0| I120: ToolsBackup: changing quiesce state: STARTED -> COMMITTED
vcpu-0| I120: Tools: Tools heartbeat timeout.
Code: Select all
[msg.snapshot.quiesce.rpc_timeout] A timeout occurred while communicating with VMware Tools in the virtual machine.

I'm waiting for Dell to make a nice clean Update 1b ISO before I go ahead and install our shiny new servers.

Not all with this tools version show this behavior but VMs that are affected are always affected.

Adding to that:svenh wrote:I cannot provide much insight but I can add to your data points:

I can also confirm that downgrading to 9.10.5-2981885 (the version from ESX 6.0u1) gets the backup working again.
I find it very interesting that not all VMs with 10.0.5 show this problem. But affected VMs are affected in every backup cycle and not just sporadic.
So far I have yet to find anything those affected VMs have in common and what is different to other unaffected VMs with 10.0.5.

Re: Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
The only work around I have been given so far is to use Application aware processing. The only issue I have with this is now getting it to work with DMZ computers as previously I had just used the VMware quiescence.

Re: Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
I would recommend to open a case with VMware support team and let them investigate error messages in the VMware Tools debug log files. If they are able to tell you the reason for these issues, it would be appreciated if you could share the solution (results of investigation) with the community members.

Re: Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
Hello,
i talked to VMware this week they finally know that there is an issue and they told me to downgrade tools to 9.10.5 or even better ESX 5.5 pre-Version 10 tools.

Re: Veeam B&B v8 update 3 vSphere 6 update 1b
Has anyone seen that a reboot of the VM temporarily resolves the issue, and then it returns? Have seen this issue with 10.0.0 and 10.0.8 tools, though we're using a different VADP-based backup solution. Does anyone have a VMware KB, VMware case # or VMware PR # that can be referenced. Besides this forum discussion, having trouble finding other info about it.

According to the release notes VM Tools v10.0.9 should have resolved the tools not running issue after quiesce. I haven't verified it myself.
