9.5 U3a to U4 Upgrade Issues - Veeam Mount Service

[DanielCIS]

Hi all,

I've upgraded to the GA version of 9.5U4 all ok but having an issue with a secondary proxy failing to upgrade. Initially from the VBR console I was getting output saying "Upgrade failed, see installer logs" or similar. I then went to the secondary proxy and manually installed the relevant packages and have narrowed it down to the Mount Service.

When I run the installer for just this package it throws the error "Veeam Mount Service Installer Information - Failed to install file system drivers." Looking at the FlrDrvInstaller.log file I then get the following:

Platform is Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacentre, any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan, please open a case with our technical support for a closer look. Thanks!

[Gostev]

Daniel, as requested when you click New Topic: please avoid posting random log snippets that you think might be relevant to your issue, and instead include a support case ID containing the full debug log package. These core forum rules are always important to follow, but right now they are absolutely essential to follow with the usual spike of posts on technical issues due to the new major release. Thanks for understanding!

[DanielCIS]

Hi all,

No problem, case logged #03381868

Cheers,
Dan

[mickej67]

Any solution?

[veremin]

It seems that original issue has been caused by driver signature enforcement policy, but we're still waiting to hear from Daniel to confirm the guess.

In the meantime, kindly, open your own ticket and provide debug logs - the root cause might vary.

Thanks!

I am getting this on a Windows 2008 R2.

The VeeamFCT service failed to start due to the following error:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source.

[GregorD]

I have the same error , i cannot update mount Service on Windows Server 2008 r2 Standard
Case is open
when i manually start the msi for Installation mount Service it Comes to VmAddFwRulesPhased and then i become Access denied.
But i dont have antivirus. Windows Firewall is disabled.

[Gostev]

Can you make sure you have all the latest Windows Updates installed on your server?

[GregorD]

Can you be more specific ,which update is requiered? We use WSUS and everything is enabled to install.

[bogdan.grecu]

Hello Daniel,

You might want to try this:

Enter in Advanced Options menu in Windows 2008R2:

Close all programs and reboot your computer.
Press the "F8" key as your computer is booting up, before the appearance of the Windows logo.
When the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" appears on your screen, use your keyboard arrow keys to highlight the “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” option and then press "ENTER".

I've got a similar issue after upgrading from 9.5.0 to U4. Remote managed server fails to upgrade its components. Nothing relevant in the installer logs. My currently opened ticket has been escalated.

Transport and vPowerNFS components both are update on the remote server but Mount Service and WAN Acc. Service are still at the older version.

Is it possible to upgrade the mount service on the remote server manually?

[GregorD]

yes open dvd folder packages and there you have all services

[Jay.SD]

Well that attempt didn't work. I was able to upgrade the WAN Service locally but not the mount service. My ticket is currently "In research".

[Jay.SD]

second remote session with a Veeam Engineer could not resolve the issue. Veeam support has all the logs after multiple troubleshooting steps.
I do know one thing about this issue Windows 2008 R2 is the common in this thread so far...

[AlexKid]

I've got a similar issue after upgrading from 9.5.0 to U4 on our 2008R2 Backup Server.

[benpike57814]

I have the exact same issue with the Veeam Mount Service on Server 2008 R2. I've logged a case with Veeam so hoping they will find a workaround / fix

[wishr]

Hi Ben,

Could you please share the support case ID for reference?

Thanks in advance!

[benpike57814]

I have just tried rebooting the server and pressing 'F8' during restart. Select Disable Driver Signature Enforcement from the boot menu and the Veeam mount service installed successfully

[wishr]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for sharing the information. We'll take a look at this internally.

Btw, could you please let me know your case ID so we can get all the details possible?

Thank you,
Fedor

Hi gentlemen,

A quick update: Since you all use 2008R2, could you please make sure that SHA-2 code signing is supported on your systems as per our guideline?

Thanks

[GregorD]

I also tested another Server my pain is again ws 2008R2 and there i get a error Driver cannot be installed.

[wishr]

Hi Gregor,

Could you please check the above? Most likely that's the root cause.

Thanks in advance!

[Jay.SD]

Thank you! enabling SHA-2 code signing worked for me.
Installed update package Windows6.1-KB3033929-x64
FYI - reboot required, twice. One after the update and another after updating the mount service.

[wishr]

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for sharing it with the community! Appreciate it.

Regards,
Fedor

[Gostev]

Ahha, thanks for confirming! This was exactly the reason behind my question about Windows Updates on the previous page

[GregorD]

For me also
Installed update package Windows6.1-KB3033929-x64 Restart and i could install the mount Service.

[DakoJordan]

This is happening to me on a Server 2012 R2 box as well. Manual install of the new Mount Server component from the packages directory of the ISO fails with the error "failed to install file system drivers".
Manually uninstalled the mount server component from Programs and Features, tried again, and no change. The Mount Server service itself was still present as well, so I used sc delete VeeamMountSvc to get rid of it, but no change.

Opening a case shortly if no Windows Updates are required on the box. If they are, I'll try that before opening a case.

[wishr]

Hi Jordan,

That's a bit strange that you are experiencing the issue on 2012R2, however I would first of all check for SHA-2 code signing updates.

Please keep us posted about the situation.

Thanks
