Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone had any insights on how to get a succesful backup with veeam and nutanix and if there is something I am just overlooking. I know I am oversimplifying but I have followed the best practices setup and have checked all of the settings twice but somehow I still get the following error: 12/5/2015 1:30:11 PM :: Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: Provider [{89300202-3cec-4981-9171-19f59559e0f2}] does not support shadow copies of volume [\LSSHARE01LIFE_NTNX01].--tr:Failed to add volumes to the snapshot set.--tr:Failed to perform pre-backup tasks. I could have sworn that if NOS is added to AD then the share can use the VSS. I am frankly not finding any information on this and have gone from logs, to accounts, to verifying the storage. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all, For a customer, I have a many-to-one replication implemented. On the DR-site, I want to back-up all VMs on the AHV cluster with Commvault... However, because the VM's are in a protection Domain, Commvault cannot discover them, so a back-up is not possible... Solution might be to export all vms from the latest snapshot, backup the vms, and delete the exported Vms from the DR cluster. I tried to do this with the Powershell shell cmdlets, but not successfully... Anyone tried this before? Regards, Bart
I am new to our environment and have been tasked with backing up our VM Servers. The backups are scheduled hourly but have not been configured properly (I believe we are missing a backup location, but I have not been able to find where to configure that item). Any help would be appreciated.
Hi , trying to restore a VM from local snapshot to a new VM and error Error restoring snapshot. NFS path 'OL6-11-2R' is not valid any assitance appreciated Tom
Hi All I'm a Nutanix partner in Thailand, when I present Nutanix product in DR feature one question alway arise from the customers who seriously interest in this feature. "How to caculate WAN bandwidth ?", that mean to how effective compression and deduplication of DR feature. I can not find this information on the Google and Nutanix site. Please advise me. TIA.
Anyone aware of a problem when using (unable to authenticate) domain local AD groups in PC 4.6? Worked before we upgraded to 4.6, but seems that a domain local AD group fails.
Is there any change Nutanix will expose API for Third Party to use Nuatnix Time Stream, and snapshot for Backup Solutions like Netbackup. vF.P
Hi, I'm still digging into Async DR functionality. As I understand, Async DR will replicate changed blocks from Site A to Site B at given interval from an active protection domain to an inactive protection domain. Let's say now, I do a Site A shutdown to test the DR processes. I therefore activate site B protection domain, register the virtual machines, and boot them. So far, so good. Now, I restart site A, and I want to fail back. I shutdown all virtual machines on site B and Site A (if any running), deactivate PD on site A, and setup replication from Site B PD to site A PD, and run a manual Sync. Does this make sense ? And will this copy only data changed since fail over occured ? or will it do a full sync ?
Good morning... evening... night all over the world ^^ I'm wondering what are the technical differences between Async DR and Backup. What I've red in documentation is that Backup does not allow running the virtual machines on the remote site. This comes with many questions as I couldn't find any detailed description of the backup mechanism. As far as I understand, both works exactly the same. Only difference is that on the remote site, the backup target PD cannot be promoted to allow running of the VMs. Is this correct ? is this the only difference ? Otherwise, what are all the differences between both modes ? Any impact on the size of used on the target space ? ...
Hi, I couldn't find this in the documentation. As I understand, the choice of Async DR vs Backup is to be made at remote site configuration. I would like to replicate some VMs for DR, and some for backup only. Is it possible to create two remote sites in a cluster pointing to the same remote site, thou allowing to have one remote site set as " Async DR" and the second one as "Backup" ?
Thoughts I'd post this rather than bugging our SE over and over ;) Trying to get a disaster recovery plan in place to protect against a major disaster such as server room fire... We have a couple of clusters geographically separated which I have set up as remote-sites. Site A and B lets call them. I've set up a PD w/ consistency group with the VMs to protect and periodically snapshot from site A to B. Now in the case of a fire/destroyed cluster at site A... obviously step one is rebuilding a cluster at that site with the appropriate configs, but then... With a brand new cluster in place, what is the standard process to retreive the snapshots from site B back to the new site A ? So far, I've activated the backup on site B (as if it was an unplanned outage and left it off). and recreated the remote-site link on the newly built out site A. I am thinking I now create a new PD to shuffle the VMs/consistency group back to Site A and then activate there and I am done ? I know this
Hello, Has anyone had success making Hyper-V VM level backups up in to the cloud? We were going to use DPM to send backups up there but it requires an agent to be installed on the SMB server so it wouldn't work on Nutanix. We also looked at Azure Cloud Connect to replicate our containers to Azure but that is backing up at the container level and restoring an individual VM can be difficult. What have you been using to achieve offline VM level backups? My organization's goal is to go back to any point within 35 days and the backups must be in the cloud(Amazon or Azure, prefer Azure).
