VM constantly reboots in virtual lab
I setup a virtual lab for my Exchange 2003 server and a DC. After some tinkering from Veeam support we were able to get everything up and running. Since then I've upgraded to v7 and now the Exchange VM is in a constant reboot cycle. Basically, the Windows 2008R2 DC boots up and stays running. The Windo2 2003/Exchange 2003 VM boots up, get to the CTRL-ALT-DELETE to login prompt, shuts itself down, and reboots. It just keeps right on doing this.
Any suggestions?

Hi, Jonathan. Have you already tried to recreate a given Surebackup job and see whether it helps or not? Thanks.

Re: VM constantly reboots in virtual lab
Just tried...same result. I'm thinking it might be something operating system related, but without being able to log into it, I can't tell much. I was able to remotely use Event Viewer, but that's not showing anything that points to whey it's rebooting.v.Eremin wrote:Hi, Jonathan.

Re: VM constantly reboots in virtual lab
Is the behaviour the same for all restore points or just for the latest one? I mean, have you tried to specify another restore point from which Exchange server should be booted in the virtual lab? Thanks.

I'd contact support so they could look through the logs. Probably, they'll tell the reason of what is going on in the lab and why the VM keeps rebooting.

Re: VM constantly reboots in virtual lab
I think we got it now! Had to select "Last known good" and then it booted. Then, for some reason the IP address defaulted back to DHCP, so I had to reset it back to the correct static IP and now it's fat, dumb, and happy!v.Eremin wrote:Is the behaviour the same for all restore points or just for the latest one?

On a related note, how exactly would I specify another restore point, if I had to go that route?
Thanks

There's a Start To command in the SureBackup job short-cut menu allowing to select the desired date and time to start VMs in the lab to.jp1 wrote:On a related note, how exactly would I specify another restore point, if I had to go that route?
