Veeam issue:  Using Veeam 9.5 and I've built a replication job on a VM.  The replication is a new build.  The VM is not replicated and it does not have any snapshots.  This is basically a new build on a replication job.

The job is failing with the error: unable to access file snapshot.  nothing else.

The VM does not have any snapshots and google isn't showing me much.  normally, solving Veeam issues is fairly straight forward, but this one has me licked.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

Cliff

I am using a Promox VE on my local ML110 xeon 28GB 480GB SSD server. and wish to backup on my Qnap TS-253A 8GB ram nas server.

Normally I log into the local server with: https://snag.gy/RYE3Sm.jpg URL: https://192.168.1.20:8006/#v1:0:18:4:::::: user id: root and then the password. but when I try to log in, it's not working: https://snag.gy/D9zsEx.jpg 

I downloaded nakivo for the backup.

Need to understand Error and solution  if this is issue with Nagios app running on Linux server or if all resulted due to Network Glitch

Error in Alert is
"HOST CHECK_VMWARE_API.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://192.168.1.17:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl/5.10/VMware/VICommon.pm line 734"

What all are precautionary actions required to avoid such error alerts ?
Is there nay recommendation before we configure Nagios for N number of alerts /Devices /VMware /vCentere  
How actually load is decided before we configure nagios for monitoring

Hi,
 I am looking at two separate servers that come with two different CPUs (please see screenshots for details).
 When I compare Average CPU Mark, E-2136 @ 3.3Ghz with 6 cores has 15,338 compared to Xeon Silver @ 1.80GHz with 8 cores that has 10,883. But the price of E-2136 @3.3Ghz  is cheaper than Silver @1.8Ghz. I am going to set up Hyper-V server with two VMs (one VM is domain controller and the other VM is Terminal Server running Quickbooks with 2 users and MS ACCESS database accessed by about 8 users via Remoet Desktop Connection. Btw, MS ACCESS database will be converted to MS SQL database at some point)
   
Here are website links for the screenshots:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+Silver+4108+%40+1.80GHz&id=3167
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E-2136+%40+3.30GHz&id=3363

 When you look at CPUs these days, they have so many varieties and down right confusing.
 Which CPU is better and why?

Thanks.

Dear Experts, we purchased Disk enclosure HPE 2050 yesterday to expand the storage capacity of SAN storage controller HPE MSA 2040.

We connected 1 SAS cable from OUT port of 2040 to IN port of 2050. After that, we turned on the 2050 device and add disk group, built RAID6 but it seems like take longer time than expected. Moreover, we got the "Degraded" status on Disks information, so is it normal? Can you suggest please? Should we connect the other SAS cable between 2 devices?

VMware displayed fan hardware error message but HP Proliant never ever shows any diagnostics errors when running the full hardware diagnostic at boot.  We have had periodic issues of server shutdowns a couple times a year w/ again no diagnostics errors but this particular one caused a couple virtual machine to get really corrupt to the point we had to perform a Veeam restore.  Anyway, here's the message below from VMWARE about a hardware fan issue but I don't understand why I can't any event logs or diagnostics to reveal a fan error too.  I ripped out the chassis panel and all four fans are blowing hard, no signs of slowing down.  I really don't this type of corruption to happen again causing catastrophic to their most application in the environment.  Any ideas of what needs replacing?  Is this masking a motherboard issue?   I am purchasing 4 fans that are not HP as a start. HP stopped selling for this particular Proliant unit.

Hello!

I got a big problem with vmware workstation 12.5.9 build-7535481:

In snapshot manager I wanted to delete a snapshot.

A message has occourred that there is not enough disk space to do this.

Now the snapshot is not longer visable in snapshotmanager.

The snapshot is not visible running:
C:\Users\hhussy\Documents\Virtual Machines\MONTEVELO3>"c:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation"\vmrun listsnapshots montevelo3.vmx
Total snapshots: 0

The snapshot-chain seems to be fully functional, because the virtual machine is running correctly.

Directory listing of the VM:

Is there a way to determine which VMs on a host have a CD drive connected besides going to each VM? A host here will have between 40 and 150 VMs so it's a pain to go to each VM.

My reason for this is that when I do upgrades I need to put the host into maintenance mode and undoubtedly there will be some using a CD drive. This prevents vMotion but I don't know until the VM list shows the VMs left that couldn't be migrated. I then need to go to each one and see if it is due to the CD drive. Once confirmed, I need to disconnect the CD drive to continue.

Have a failing cluster disk with an Exchange 2013 CU16 Std VM on it. Pool will not rebuild on new disk and will only attach if the failing disk is in the array.

Storage was reporting no errors and only found due to failing backups, so backups are not current.

I have decided to install a new Exchange box and attempt to move the mailboxes. Issue is I onlu had access to Exchange 2013 SP1 and CU21 and the failing server is CU16 which is not available.

I do not want to even think about attempt installing CU21 on the failing space. My question is whether it is advisable or is a problem to install CU21 on the new machine and migrate the mailboxes with the version mismatch.

I am stuck, storage will not stay stable for backups, VM moves, or even attempting to copy the vhdx. I know the mailbox moves are high I/O but I don't seem to have a choice to to attempt it.

Will the 16 - 21mismatch be a problem?

Thanks,
Chuck

Storagepools vs Raid 10.
Hi. We are setting up a physical server (not running Hyper-V) to act as a Domain controller and a SQL server.
Plan is to use 8 x 600GB drives (SAS) sat up in Raid 10 (using onboard Raid controller - HP ML 350 Gen10 server)
Divide in 2 partitions C: for Win 2016 and D: for SQL data.

Not familiar with storagepools.
Is an option to use 2 disks in a mirror (created on raid controller and create a Storage Pool in File manager after windows is installed.
Looking for max r\w but also safety in case of disks crashing.

This setup may also be used for single Hyper-V host as well?

Happy for any suggestions
Thanx

I created an EC2 instance.  I created a lifecycle manager policy to create up to 3 snapshots of the instance Volumes, and create a new one every 24 hours.  

My question is, Do I have to do any more in terms of Backing up the VM?

Greetings,

I'd like an expert to confirm that I am able to reboot a VMware Horizon View vCenter appliance without affecting operations of the four hosts it manages or the 80 or so virtual desktops in use.

I am doing this in an attempt to troubleshoot logging in as root. There are 12 failed login attempts recorded. The password in the company's password safe is not working. I tried 5 or 6 times (a few different passwords after the one in the safe didn't work) and a colleague tried as well, thus getting us to 12 failed attempts. I am following the directions here https://www.sneaku.com/2015/06/12/vrealize-operations-manager-6-0-root-account-locked/ as this vCenter appliance is 6.0. Though not vRealize Operations, I suspect the steps are the same.

Further, I am trying to login as root in order to run a shell so I can check the VMware vCenter workflow manager service and also disk space as a new vm pool I created fails to power on any of the new VMs and gives an error stating a general system error occurred connection refused. Troubleshooting that error led me to the aforementioned service and disk space as possible issues but need a shell to get that info. I am not able to run shell as administrator (receive permission error after successfully logging into the appliance with the administrator account). Then, if it ends up being one of those causing the error, fixing it so I can power on these VMs.

Whew, anyway... thanks.

i have a virtual machine within Azure which serves up a web site.

when i navigate to http://api.website.com it works fine.  i purchased a SSL certificate and it imported into IIS.  i edited the bindings for the cert using the default port of 443.  i added the site's name api.website.com to the bindings.  

when i navigate to https://api.website.com i get a "The connection has timed out" error.

the firewall rules allow 443 (default rule).

what else can i check and/or modify within IIS or the OS?  any help is appreciated.

thanks.
