Did not get to configure SureJob

Post by guest52 »

Hi!
I have:
a cluster of ESXi 5.1 (hosts are in a subnet 10.81.17.xxx, Veeam server and repository are in a subnet 10.81.10.xxx).
Veeam Backup Server
Veeam Backup Repository (Windows 2008r2, named "vbr-01")
When I do a Sure Backup job, I get the error: "Fail Error: Unable to mount vPower NFS volume (vbr-01.xxx.domain.local:/VeeamBackup_vbr-01.xxx.domain.local). vbr-01.xxx.domain.local: An error occurred during host configuration.
10.xx.xx.xxx: An error occurred during host configuration."

When I created a repository, I did settings that:

What am I doing wrong?

Your problem is related to mounting NFS datastore to the selected ESX(i) host.
Please review this KB article, it provides steps to troubleshoot such problems: http://www.veeam.com/kb1055

I saw this KB. I have completed checks in accordance with this KB.
All ports in network is the open.

Explanations:
VBRS-01 -- Veeam BaR Server.
VBR-01 -- Veeam BaR Repository.

I create a virtual lab, application group and surebackup job. After this, in ESXi-host inventory I see a new datastore (from VBRS-01 -- Veeam BaR Server).

Datastores after creating Virtual Lab:

I run the Surebackup Job for the first time and get the error, which can be seen in the work of 13:33:34 (pls, see a report screenshot). Network settings set manually (using the DHCP I have the same problem). I start work without changing any of the settings for the second time, and I get an error that can be seen in the work of 14:31:21. Why Veeam is trying to connect a NFS that is VBR-01 (Veeam BaR Repository)? Why errors are different?

First error from your log at 13:34 tells that Veeam B&R server could not ping Proxy Appliance VM.
According to the fact that second time you have not seen that error, I would say that some temporary network issues occured.
Second time your job failed with the same NFS problem.
Let me try to explain NFS mechanism in little more details.
Every Backup Repository server have its own NFS server, which can be chosen in Backup Repository wizard.
When you begin SureBackup Job which use some backups, Veeam need to mount NFS Share directly to ESX where that VMs would be started.
In your case backups resides on VBR-01 and it is set up to use itself as NFS server. So VeeamBackup_..._VBR-01 should be mounted to the host, not VeeamBackup_..._VBRS-01 like it shown on your screenshot.

Yep, you've specified VBR-01 server to serve as vPower NFS server while creating the repository on it (according to the screenshot in you original post). vPower NFS datastore that you see already mounted to the host is a different datastore, configured on your default backup repository (which is installed as a part of Veeam B&R installation on the backup server itself, VBRS-01).

Have you tried to mount that vPower NFS datastore manually, as described in the mentioned KB article? Anyway, you can contact technical support with this (as it is advised to do with all technical issues) and get assistance in your native language (I'm also removing the "Russian" part of your post, since these forums are for English-speaking users). Thanks.

Thanks!
But SureBackUp Job start only when I chose "Use this server" (VBRS) in vPower NFS settings.....

Network errors has been resolved after changing Network Settings in vLab.

Not sure I understand what do you mean here. Do you have vPowerNFS server configured on your repository server (VBR-01)? Have you tried to mount that vPower NFS datastore manually?

Sorry for the late answer.

No, that vPower NFS Datastore not mount manually... BUT: this configuration works after I recreate Veeam BackUp repository and move Veeam BackUp repository in the same network as ESXi-hosts and Veeam BaR Server.

But in another sites I still get this error... "Unable to mount vPower NFS volume (VeeamBackupRepository.domain.local:/VeeamBackup_VeeamBackupRepository.domain.local). VeeamBackupRepository.domain.local: An error occurred during host configuration.
VeeamBackupRepository's IP: An error occurred during host configuration"

...and this vPower NFS share don't connect manually. ESXi-hosts and Veeam servers are in the same network.

All ports in network is open. No firewall.
Veeam vPower NFS Service is started.

Vyacheslav, I encourage you to contact support for assistance, since troubleshooting such technical issues via forum posts is very inefficient. Our support folks will be able to set up a webex with you to review your configuration.
