Run All VMware Backup Jobs CBT disabled and re-enable after

[jbennett]

In light to the CBT bug KB2136854 ref:http://forums.veeam.com/vmware-vsphere-f24/there-s-a-new-cbt-bug-in-esxi-6-t31280.html, I wanted to be able to schedule of our VMware backup jobs to run once a week without CBT disabled, then re-enable CBT once it's done. Also, I only wanted to limit CBT disabled to one job at a time to prevent such a large impact on our entire systems and jobs.

Can any expert let me know if I'm on the right track?

Thank you,

I would limit the scope to backup and replication jobs, because along with backup and replication jobs Get-VBRJob commandlet would return file copy, VM copy and backup copy jobs. Then, your code would try to disable CBT on them and execute them in accordance. So, this modification might be needed:

Code: Select all

Get-VBRJob | ? {$_.JobType -eq "Backup" -or $_.JobType -eq "Replica"}

Other than that, everything looks good.

Thanks.

Good call. We're not using replications just yet. I've added that limitation.

So far, I've tested it with some jobs and seemed to work as expected.

Thank you!

You're welcome. Should other questions arise, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.

So far, it's been working just fine. It's going on 40 hours in our system, but it's still churning away. 1 more job out of 7 left.

I can't wait for that patch Gostev just mentioned in the weekly digest.
