Inactive datastore

Post by lillebi »

I have just installed ESXi 5.0 build 702118, and vCenter Server build 623373.
We use Veeam backup 5.0 version 5.0.1.198 64-bit. to backup oure vm´s.
The backup works fine, but when we whant to restore "Entire VM (including registration) we get the following error:

Inactive datastore "datastore name"

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Brian, the version of Veeam B&R you are using does not support vSphere 5.0. To be able to backup your environment, you should either upgrade to Veeam B&R 5.0.2 and install vSphere 5.0 compatibility patch (available through support team) or upgrade to Veeam B&R v6. Thanks.

No, your existing v5 license should work.

I was talking about compatibility patch for Veeam B&R 5.0.2 adding support for vSphere 5. Please contact Veeam technical support to get it.
