Replication Files

Post by jpaul »

Im getting an error on some of my replication jobs, and am wondering what is causing it. We are replication a customers Data to a remote ESXi host over a 10meg pipe. There are 8 VM's being replicated each night.

here is the error message:

oddly, when i checked the backup log today this job ran again and said that it had completed successfully? any ideas?

is this caused because there are multiple jobs running at the same time ? maybe not enough bandwidth or something ?

Thanks Guys,
Justin

Hello Justin,

How many job do you have running concurrently? It seems like you have intermittent timeouts that were causes by SOAP calls failure. If you have many jobs running at the same time, try reducing this amount to see if that helps.

Thanks!

Hello Justin,

Please tell us:
1) Is your 10M connection saturated by any other activity (not related to B&R jobs)? Are you experiencing any problems when connecting to that ESXi with vSphere Client?
2) Are you using vCenter, or just specified a direct connection to that ESXi?
3) What is the version of ESXi?

The point is that ESXi has a rather short pool of connections, and even 2-4 jobs may saturate it, especially if there is any problem with the pipe to your customer's site.

the connection isnt saturated by anything except the B& R jobs. Im using esxi 4.1 and i do not stay connected to it via the vsphere management interface so i cant say if its causing errors.
