Instant Recovery Powershell Error

gcanales · Post by **gcanales** » Oct 01, 2013 5:59 pm this post

Hi, I'm new to powershell and need some help. Here are something I wrote to start a Instant recovery job

$vm = "AD1"
$irvm = "IR-AD1"
$rp = Get-VBRBackup | where {$_.JobName -eq "job1"} | Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name $vm | Sort CreationTime -Descending | Select -First 1
$server = Get-VBRServer | where {$_.Name -eq "esx1.infragig.lab"}
$res = Find-VBRResourcePool -Server ($server) | where {$_.Name -eq "Resources"}

Start-VBRInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $rp -VMName $irvm -Server $server -ResourcePool $res

And the result is an error message I cannot figure out

Start-VBRInstantRecovery : Failed to start task using provider "vmsSharing". Task type: "mountVm". Task configuration:
"<vmNfsSharingInfo vmRegName="ID-AD1" oibID="00563664-f9d8-45df-a2cc-978180604b0b" powerOn="False"

Can someone could help me find out what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hmm, I haven’t seen this error so far. Though, I have a few questions:

• Is your resource pool, indeed, named “Resources” or you’ve just taken this line up from the provided example?
• What happens if you also specify a datastore?

Thanks.

Hello Vladimir,

I've added the datastore info as you suggested, but got the same output

Code: Select all

Add-PSSnapIn -Name VeeamPSSnapIn
$jobName = Get-VBRjob | where {$_.Name -eq "job1"}
$vm = Find-VBRViEntity -Name AD1
$server = Get-VBRServer | where {$_.Name -eq "esx1.infragig.lab"}
$rp = Get-VBRBackup -Name job1 | Get-VBRRestorePoint -Name AD1 | Sort CreationTime -Descending | Select -First 1
$res = Find-VBRResourcePool -Server $server -Name "Resources"
$ds = Find-VBRDatastore -Server ($server) | where {$_.Name -eq "Nexenta-01"}
Start-VBRInstantRecovery -RestorePoint $rp -VMName($vm + "_IR") -Server $server -ResourcePool $res -Datastore $ds

I very lost here, I'm running PowerShell 3.0, Veeam 6.5.0.144 (32-bit)

If you have any idea of what else I could try, please let me know...

Thanks!!

Everything looks good with the script provided. So, you might want to contact support team and let them investigate it directly.

However, I’m wondering whether you’re able to instantly recover a given VM via GUI of backup server. Thanks.
