DPM 2012 R2 Unable to create protection groups after Cluster Migration

Hi Team
we have an issue relating to DPM 2012 R2. In our environment we have a Hyper-V Cluster and we recently did a Cluster Migration since Hyper-V Cluster was upgraded to Windows Server 2012 R2.
Before the upgrade, Windows Server 2008 R2 Cluster was protected by DPM Environment. After we upgraded we are unable to Create new protection Groups existing the new cluster and when we select VMs it's not showing up any members.
Please let us know how we can solve this issue since the Cluster Nodes and the Cluster Name is different from previous Cluster, we were expecting that DPM would allow us to create new Protection Groups while preserving old protection groups for recovery later
if needed.

Hi,
you need to stop the Protection of the old HyperV Datasources
Clear the Cache of the Protectiongroup,
and read the new VM to Protectiongroup

DPM 2012 Cannot modify or create protection groups after upgrading from DPM 2010

Hi,
We have recently upgraded from DPM 2010 to 2012. Since the upgrade we have been unable to create new protection groups or add new datasources to an existing group. Existing backups are running without errors.
We have tried checking the DPM sql user account permissions as described in
this article but with no luck. More searching has not provided any other relavent fixes. We are now stuck on how to troubleshoot this any further.
In the DPM console we get the following error adding a VM to an existing protection group:
Modify protection group: Virtual Machines failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
Allocate Replica For \Backup Using Saved State\Cacti failed:
Error 207: An unexpected error occurred on DPM server machine during a VSS operation.
Error details: VssError:Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported.
(0x8004230C)
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
In the event log we see:
The description for Event ID 955 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
The consistency check resulted in the following changes to SQL Server Agent schedules: Schedules added: 1 Schedules removed: 1 Schedules updated: 0.
Problem Details:
<ConsistencyCheck><__System><ID>26</ID><Seq>1534</Seq><TimeCreated>23/04/2012 09:33:29</TimeCreated><Source>SchedulerImpl.cs</Source><Line>719</Line><HasError>True</HasError></__System><Tags><JobSchedule
/></Tags></ConsistencyCheck>
the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
The error 0x8004230C VSS_E_VOLUME_NOT_SUPPORTED: Shadow copying the specified volume is not supported, can only come when trying to enable shadow copies on new volumes created when trying to add new datasources to protection. Generally speaking
Only NTFS volumes greater that 1GB with a minimum of 300MB free space can be shadow copied, so something is going wrong with the volume creation / format process. Please investigate that, see if two new volumes get created when protecting a new data
source, and the sizes are greated that 1GB and also verify it's formatted NTFS.

DPM 2012 R2 unable to connect to Database after failed Update Rollup 4 Installation

We have a DPM 2012 R2 Server with SQL Server 2012 installed locally.
We tried to install Rollup 4 for DPM 2012 R2 (KB3009516) using Windows Update
and it failed with error code 0x80070643. Now when we open the DPM Console
it is totally empty (no Protection Groups, Servers, Disks, just like a fresh install).
In the eventlog we get a lot of Errors and warnings:
Event 941 (MSDPM)
Unable to connect to the DPM database. Make sure that SQL Server is running and that it is configured correctly.
Cannot open database "DPMDB" requested by the login. The login failed.
Event 4209 (MSDPM)
The description for Event ID 4209 from source MSDPM cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
DPM Writer encountered an internal error. Please restart the DPM Writer service, and then try the backup operation again. For additional troubleshooting information, review the application event log and the DPM Troubleshooting Guide.
Event 107 (Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER)
Report Server Windows Service (MSSQLSERVER) cannot connect to the report server database.
Event 274 (SQLISService110)
Microsoft SSIS Service:
Registry setting specifying configuration file does not exist.
Attempting to load default config file.
Then there are some Errors/warnings from SQLSERVERAGENT about failed scheduled Jobs.
I think the failed Installation changed some database Settings, so that now the DPM Console
cant access the database anymore.
I would be happy if someone can help me getting this Server working again!

Our biggest problem is, that the DPM is not working any more. So there is no chance to backup the SQL Server via DPM.
I think the main problem is that DPM have no access to the database. Every time I start the DPM Application, I get an error "verify that the DPM service is running on this computer". In the eventlog are many errors that the msdpm service was unable
to connect to DPM Database. Another "information" is that the user 'nt authority\system' failed to open the database of dpm.
We've tried to reinstall the DPM but its still the same problem. I suppose that is a corrupt database.
Tomorrow I try to restore the database and hope it will be the solution of our problem.

Creating Protection Group Fails with Error:360 The operation failed due to a virtual disk service error

Hello
I'm setting up a DPM server (2012 R2) at a remote site; everything goes well with no issues until a protection group is created, at which point I get the following error;
Create protection group: Protection Group 1 failed:
Error 360: The operation failed due to a virtual disk service error
Error details: The system cannot find the file specified
Recommended action: Retry the operation.
The environment is as follows;
- Virtual Machine Running Server 2008 R2 Fully updated
- Storage Pool is an iSCSI connection Thick Provisioned 1TB GPT and shows in Disk Management with no issues.
- Have connected to Session 0 (console)
- Error log shows The provider did not receive a Plug and Play service notification for the volume. volume=10 for the VDS Dynamic Provider
Can Anyone Help?
Thanks

Hi,
Disk defrag is initiated when a volume shrink is attempted. See if there is any problem defragging a volume and correct any problems doing that.

Unable to create Product group form T Code- MC84 in ECC 6.0

Dear Expert,
After Upgrade from 4.7E to ECC 6.0 we are facing problem for Tcode-MC84(Create Product Group) is opening but we are unable to Create product group..
can any tell me what is problem for this or is there any apply SAP Note for this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Kumar,

Hi,
I think for some particular versions you can create a product group directly using T code MC84, and if u have got a material type say PROD-Product group,then use mm01 for creating a product group. And then you can do the change in MC86 for product group.

Unable to create server groups

Hi All,
I am unable to create server groups on Business Objects 3.1 Edge server. It has been updated till SP 4. I get the following error
"This operation is not permitted with your current set of license keys. Upgrade your license keys to enable this operation. (FWB 00015)"
Is this a limitation of BO edge series?
Cheers,
AK

Hi Alok,
Are you using Temporary license ? if not, please try below
Replace the file "libkeydecoder.so" in <BOE install dir>/bobje/enterprise120/<platform> with the file from your install CD.

Arjun

Unable to modify or create Protection Groups in DPM 2012 R2 - Error: 31220

"DPM failed to apply the required policies to this protection group since the recovery point limit for this DPM server has been exceeded. (ID: 31220)"
I am trying to add new data sources to our DPM server and continually run into the above message. I get the same error whether I attempt to create a new Protection Group and add the data sources to it... or if I attempt to modify an existing Protection Group
to add data sources to it. I can guess that the obvious answer is "You have too many data sources or to many recovery points for the server to handle..." If that's the case, I need to figure out how to tell how many I have. As best as I can figure
myself, I have less than 150 data sources and less than 2500 recovery points/snapshot/express-full. If there is a tool or a command that I can run to tell that, I'd be grateful to anyone who can point me in that direction.
I have tried to remove inactive member servers that no longer exist from our Protection Groups... no effect. I have tried to completely delete the removed server's data from replica... no effect. We began seeing this issue in 2012 SP1, so I ran
through the upgrade to 2012 R2 hoping that it would resolve the issue... no effect. I am able to remove members from our Protection Groups, but if I try to add an entirely new member or even just a single DB on an already protected member... fails with
above message. I also tried to adjust the retention and backup schedule... fails with above error.
Other than the stock answer from Microsoft that I am truly exceeding some limit, is there any other underlying issue that can cause this to be mis-reported to me? I hope that SOMEONE has an answer or guidance for me.

Hi,
Another DPM PowerShell script - this one allows you to delete older recovery points for a selected datasource without having to modify the PG.

DPM 2012 service crashes when creating a protection group

DPM Server Setup:
Windows Server 2012 Datacenter
DPM 2012 SP1 RU3 (Version 4.1.3417.0)

Reinstalling DPM 2012 SP1

We eventually got this resolved through Microsoft support.
The issue for us was entering the AD domain as the FQDN on install. Apparently DPM doesn't work if it is authenticating with FQDN\username.
The fix is to change the following registry setting:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup\SchedulerJobOwnerName
To domain\username rather than domain.local\user (or [email protected], which also doesn't work). Alternatively, when you install DPM just put the netbios AD domain name rather than the FQDN.

Create Protection Group Hyper-V Virtual Machines Not Listed

Hello,
We are in the process of testing DPM 2012 R2 and we are trying to backup our Hyper-V virtual machines on both cluster hosts and stand-alone Hyper-V hosts. We have deployed the DPM agent to all cluster hosts and the stand-alone hosts, but when we go
to create a protection group, we do not see Hyper-V Virtual Machines listed under "HyperV". We are expecting Virtual Machines to show up as shown in Step 7 of this guide: http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2013/11/07/dpm-2012-r2-quickstart-deployment-guide.aspx.
We have DPM 2012 R2 UR4 installed and Hyper-V role is enabled on the DPM server.
Is there something extra we need to do or something we are doing wrong?
Thank you.

Gleb,
Thank you for your help. For our cluster, we realized we weren't seeing any VM's under the Cluster Node because an agent was not installed on our of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster. As for the stand-alone Hyper-V host and the cluster node listing
within the "Create New Protection Group" wizard, it looks like MOST of the VM's have the "Backup Using Child Partition Snapshot" option, but no longer show as "Online" or "Offline". I believe this is due to the
way the Hyper-V backups are done w/ DPM which was changed either in R2 or one of the Update Rollups.

DPM 2012 SP1: Unable to connect to the DPM DB, because the DB is inconsistent state.

We are getting the following error when we try to recover from a specific server ( Recovery Tab | Domain | File Server )
Unable to connect to the DPM Database because the database is in an inconsistent state. (ID943)
=> There are no double entries for the specific server in the database. Verified by the following query:
select servername, domainname from dbo.tbl_AM_Server order by servername
=> DBCC Check DPMDB results in no errors.
=> Yesterday we used the following script to remove a ghost tape from our reports. The tape belongs to the PG where the File Server is member of.

Is there a relation between our error and the removal of the ghost tape? Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
I have not heard of that script causing any problems in the past, so may or may not be related. What are the details of the msdpm service crash found in the msdpmcurr.errlog after the error ?

Can't create protection groups on the Azure Portal with on-premise hyper-v to Azure

I’m trying to setup Azure Site Recovery on-premise hyper-v to Azure. I have successfully configured the Hyper-V Sites and installed the provider with the registration key. Both servers
show green. I see my hyper-v server on the server tab.
The issue occurred when I’m moving to the next step “creating a Protection Group”. When click on the “create new protection group” I’m getting the error saying "An error
occurred while retrieving the list of servers".
I had this error also yesterday and I tried to delete the sites, vault and create everything again. I used the unregister scripted
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn903160.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Still I got the error today again.
I really don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.
Ps. I followed this guide
http://www.ms4u.info/2014/12/configure-azure-site-recovery-asr.html

Your welcome, glade I could help you out. I'm kind of stuck myself with site-to site vpn part. I made the posted here with all the details.

I want to make a planned failover and connect the network with the virtual machines. Somehow the vpn connection fails on phase 2.

Cannot create protection groups from Azure Portal

Trying to setup Azure Site Recovery. Have successfully added the Hyper-V Sites and installed the provider and applied the registration key. Both servers show green.
The issue is when moving to the next step in the process of creating a Protection Group. I click create new protection group and the normal drop down list and options do not show up. I get an error saying "An
error occurred while retrieving the required data for this view." I have tried logging off and on trying different browsers (Chrome, IE, Mozilla) with same results. Have also tried multiple computers and servers same result.
I have looked up the PowerShell commands to try to find how to create the protection group from PowerShell but no luck finding specific command.
For now I am going to try to delete the sites, vault, and create everything from scratch.
<button aria-label="Replication Settings" class="fx-balloonicon-button" type="button"></button>

Hello,
Please can you share the following detail with me
1) Go to the Jobs view of the ASR Vault & find the jobs which were run during the Registration of both your servers.
2) Drill into the job and from the properties page please send us the JobId.
We will need this information to understand what could have potentially gone wrong with the Vault.

Unable to Create Users/Groups/Orgs in OAM

I have created a admin user [oamadmin] in Sun One Directory Server and configured the admin user as a Administrator during the initial installation/configuration. When I go the Identity System Console, I can see the users from Sun One Directory Server. When I tried to create a User, Group or a Organization, I see the error message
"You do not have sufficient access rights"
Is there anything I'm missing? What should I tune if I have to create users, groups and organizations from Identity System Console? I have included the admin user [oamadmin] in Directory Administrators group in Directory Server.

You have to create a workflow that creates user, group, ... and make the current logged in user (your admin in this case) the initiator of this workflow
for more details check the identity and common administration guide section 5 - chaining identity actions into workflows

Unable to create image buffer after RAM preview

Running into an odd and frustrating error. Built a comp using the new Ray-traced 3D renderer and now I'm regretting being an early adopter big time with all the problems I've been encountering with it. The latest comes whenever I do a longer RAM preview in an attempt to watch the whole duration of my comp. It will get to about 170 frames or so, at which point I've interrupted by pressing spacebar because I don't need to see all the way to the end of my work area (around 220 frames). It'll play the RAM preview back fine, and even loop it, but as soon as I stop playback, I get this error message: "After Effects warning: Unable to create image buffer." There's only one button: "okay" and as soon as I click it the same error pops up again and it will never go away, forcing me to close AE from the task manager. I've taken to saving before every RAM preview like I used to do with Flash before previewing my buggy swfs for fear I'll lose all my work after previewing. Any ideas about what might be causing this?
Some more details about my comp:

Yeah, some buffer is very likely not flushing when you interrupt the preview and then there is no more memory on the graphics hardware. Consider setting the work area and your preview options to use only the work area. if it finishes the preview "correctly", it may not suffer the issue. Beyond that - raytracing doesn't/ shouldn't care about the number of items. The math is such, that it makes no difference whether you render a million polygons or just one. Of course there are still limitations due to the GPU dependency, but I doubt you ever truly exhaust the cards' geometry buffers. Compared to pixel data that is a small amount...

SOAP unable to create a socket after OS upgrade OS/400 V5R4 to V7R1

Hello,
after we upgraded our OS from System i V5R4 to V7R1 we have problems with our SOAP adapters.
In the runtime workbench and also in the SXMB_MONI the following error occured:
SOAP: call failed: java.io.IOException: unable to create a socket
Message-Verarbeitung fehlgeschlagen. Grund: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: java.io.IOException: unable to create a socket
Before the OS upgrade the adapter rans without any errors and we tested the connection to the partner
with an system running V5R4 with success. So it seems to be an error that came with the OS upgrade.
Any idea? Had any one the same error after migration to V7R1? Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Matthias

Hello,
we found out that the error is attached to DNS and Java stack. Our ABAP stack can set the url to the correct IP adress, if we configure a entry in SM59. Also the java stack calls our partner over SOAP with IP adress, but not with url. The urls are stored in the local host table, so we suppose that the java stack doesn't use the local dns table and doesn't ask our dns server for the right ip adress.
Does anybody know this issue? The only change we did is upgrade OS/400 from V4R4 to V7R1. If a mod see this, I think it make sence to move this thread into the forum SAP on DB2 UDB for i5/OS (DB4). Thank's.
Matthias
