Failed to get whole disk by device number

[MyKey0815]

Hello,

I will test a UCS (Univention coporate Server 4.1) with Veeam Linux Backup. So i install in Virtualbox 5.0 a VM with UCS. In this UCS Setup I want to install the Veeam Backup for Linux Beta 499 (BTW: License is still valid only 7 days). The Install was working fine. But now I want to create a Backup Job.

I start with the command "veeam" and then press the button "c". Then the message come up: "No such file or directory. Failed to get whole disk by device number [7:0]"

What can I do to test Veeam with UCS before i install them on my real system (UCS is installed on real machines)?

Thanks for your reply
Michael

Could you post output on the following:
lsblk -a
dmesg -T
And the veeam logs found under /var/log (you can upload them to a file sharing platform)

lsblk -a

I have try to install on physical Hardware. Same error if i use UCS 4.1-3 (based on Wheezy - Debian 7)

I try an installation from USB-Stick and from DVD - same result: "No such file or directory. Failed to get whole disk by device number [7:0]"

Could it be a problem with Debian 7 or the distribution UCS?

[nielsengelen]

Debian 7 is fully supported. Might be related to the UCS part but looking into the logs for further info.

Hello vmniels,

dmesg -T
And the veeam logs found under /var/log (you can upload them to a file sharing platform)

did you find my files? Are the helpfull and can you give me hint what the reason for the error message is?

Thanks
Michael

[PTide]

Hi,

Yes, I got your files however I need some clarification regarding your settings:

I start with the command "veeam" and then press the button "c". Then the message come up: "No such file or directory. Failed to get whole disk by device number [7:0]"

Do you get the error right after you press "C" button?

Was veeamsvc.log the only file in /var/log/veeam directory? If not then please archive and share the whole directory. Do you have any onboard raid device on your physical host?

Thanks

[MyKey0815]

Hello,

thank you for your reply. Here my response.

1) When I press the "C" button then it take some time. I think 5 till 10 seconds and the message come up

2) I hove no other file in the log-directory (only a other directory namesd "config"). Here is the content of the veeamconfig.log

Hello,

FYI: I have add a second Harddisk but the problem still exists. The message come up again.

Now I have tested to "restore" a backup (i have no one created - but i want to if the ui react fine). That works perfect. I can chose a job or can import backups by browsing a directory on the disk

I hope this additional info is helpfull to investigate the reason

May I ask you how you managed to test restore and import backup if you had not created one?

Did you try to use command line interface to create a backup job?

P.S. Also please keep in mind that UCS is not Debian although it is derived from it, and we cannot guarantee that VAL will work on your installation.

Thank you

[MyKey0815]

Hello,

@PTide: Thanks for you reply. 1.) In my respose i write down, that i have NO BACKUP created. But I want only to test, if the possibity to chose the option. I press the button and can select a NOT EXISTING backup
2.) The commandline i didn´t use till now. Good idea. I will it test tomorow

BTW: I have read that you release a tomorow a new version. I will wait until the release and try it again

Build 678 - BETA 2 is fixing this problem on UCS. Now I can start to configure the BackupJobs

Thank you

Great to hear. Happy testing!
