Thanks in advance!

Hi,
It could be caused if the Reporting Services Server account works improperly, such as password expired, locked etc.
The Reporting Services Service Account should be changed to run under a domain account.
Open Reporting Service Configuration Manager from Start Menu->SQL Server 2008->Configuration Tools.
Select the service account to be a domain account having permissions to send mail from SMTP server.
Note: You can also simply create a new domain admin account and use it for testing.
Set the SMTP settings from the DPM Administrator Console or the Reporting Service Configuration Manager.
Enter the SMTP server as SMTPHost.
Ensure that the account is the same as the service account.
Set the SQL Service to run under any domain account from SQL Server Configuration Manager
Open reporting configuration file. By default it will be at C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\SQL\MSRS10.MSDPM2010\Reporting Services\ReportServer\rsreportserver.config. Change the SMTP Authenticate tab to 2.

DPM 2012 R2 Reporting Server locations

I' m just looking to see what is and what is and not supported for a DPM 2012 R2 Topology for the SSRS.
When using multiple DPM servers with SSRS installed locally on the DPM server. Does each SSRS instance need a separate ReportServerDB on a remote SQL server running the SQL DB Engine. Or can they report to the 1 ReportServer DB on the remote SQL server?
I know I can have each SSRS instance installed on each DPM server point to the same SQL Server but creating multiple ReportServer databases.
Thanks

Hi,
Single DPM server with SQL installed locally = SSRS is used locally.
Multiple DPM servers sharing a remote SQL server instance = SSRS will also be shared in same SQL instance.
Multiple DPM Servers sharing a clustered SQL Server instance = SSRS will need to be on separate non-clustered SQL Server. For each DPM server using the same standalone SQL Server instance - the SSRS will be shared.

Hi
If you update to the latest rollup for DPM R2 SP1 does it work?

E-Mail reports failing after upgrading to DPM 2012 R2.

I am trying to follow Mike Jacquet's blog post regarding fixing e-mailed reports after ugprading to DPM 2012 R2. The link is here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2013/12/05/attempts-to-schedule-a-mailed-report-in-dpm-2012-fail-with-reporting-services-server-cannot-connect-to-the-dpm-database.aspx
I get to step 13, and at that point, I try to Test the Connection - I get the error "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that
the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
On my system, there is no Connection String on that screen - I assume that could be the problem? Does anyone know approximately what should go in that box? I've tried something similar to what the screenshot displays, changing the server
name and database names of course, but I get the same error.

I thought if i went into sql management studio and made sure my userid had admin rights to the db it would work.. but i cant change it there (via integrated security).. i believe i need to login as SA, but i dont recall the password for SA, though it appears
i can change the SA password from within sql management studio.. i'm unsure if doing so will break DPM though or is even needed to fix the reporting integration issue..
Any thoughts on this?

When i recreated the db.. i called it Reporting2 or similiar..
Then the reports folder i created called "Reports Folder"
Then datasource name "reports datasource"
The issue here is that the DPM reports in the reporting web interface are gone, since this is a new DB.. how do i redeploy them

i went back into the sql reporting services area.. hit change db.. chose the original .. then back to the url.. went to the OLD reporting services folder and datasource.. added the connect string and now reporting area works.. so does scheduling..
Problem now solved

Oops spoke too soon.. the first time i set it to do "status" as a schedule.. it seemed to work (clicked ok, no error).. went back and added an email notification..
Now i'm getting.. "an error occurred causing the reporting job to fail" "system files may be corrupt".
Seems to only occur if i try to add the email address portion

Upgrading DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 fails (DPM Setup is unable to connect to the specific instance of SQL Server Reporting Service (ID: 33431)

The Background:
1. DPM 2012 SP1 was originally installed on a server with local SQL 2008 R2 instance (SQL was installed as part of DPM)
2. SQL database was upgraded to SQL 2012 SP1
Now I want to upgrade DPM 2012 SP1 CU3 to R2. It is throwing the following error. Any help would be appreciated.

This absolutely fixed my issue. I had upgraded my version of SQL and was then trying to upgrade DPM 2012 to 2012R2 and I could not figure out where the installation was querying old version of the reporting services.

DPM 2012 R2 UR2 adds 2003 support but what about 2008?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2958100
I see that update rollup 2 is out and it adds support for protecting server 2003 agents but I don't see any mention of server 2008 (not R2). I have a server 2008 SP2 (not R2) machine running Exchange 2007 SP3. Will I be able to backup this
machine's system state and Exchange data with DPM 2012 R2 if I install update rollup 2?
Thanks,
Teenage angst has paid of well, now I'm bored and old.

Even without that update I believe you should be able to backup a 2008 non-R2 box already using DPM 2012 R2.
While it's not listed on the compatibility matrix for some reason, we've got a Windows Server 2008 non-R2 (64-bit) Exchange server (exchange 2007) that is currently being backed up via a DPM 2012 R2 install, so that works.
Thanks for the tip off about the update! Very handy since we've still got one of our DPM installs not running R2 due to a couple of old 2003 boxes, but this means (once they re-release the update which has been taken down currently) we can finally get that
DPM server updated to R2!

Question about supported servers to be backed up by DPM 2012 R2

Hello everybody,
do I interpret
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj860400.aspx correctly?
DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup Windows Server 2003 32-bit any more?
DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup Windows Server 2008 32-bit any more?
DPM 2012 R2 cannot backup SQL Server 2005 any more?
Thanks for clarification.
Best Regards, Stefan Falk

Hi
Correct. What is on the support matrix is what DPM supports.

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.

How to backup Hyper-V host server on DPM 2012 R2

Hi,
I'm about to backup my first Hyper-V host server using DPM 2012. I'm looking for a strategy to back up both the host server and virtual machines. Note: I'm not really interested in backing up all the virtual machines. Many are non-production
or for testing. How do you do it? I was thinking about selecting in the protection group:
- BMR and SS for the Hyper-V host
- The C: volume of the Hyper-V host
- Select the Child partition snapshots of the virtual machines I want to backup.
In my environment, Hyper-V role is installed on the C: drive, but the virtual machines are stored on E:, which I would not backup directly (volumes) since I'm backing up the VMs using Child partition snapshot.
Would I be able to restore my Hyper-V host and the selected VMs with a backup like this?
Anyone want to share how they setup their protection groups for Hyper-V?
Thanks.

No, use full server backup (image) if VM config are stored at default storage (disk C).
Understanding where your virtual machine files are [Hyper-V]
Using this method to perform a full server backup is the recommended method because it captures more data than the other method.

Backup fails for a Hyper-V guest with VSS Writer failures using DPM 2012 R2 - Hyper-V guest has Oracle application installed,

I am trying to backup a VM which before it had Oracle installed backed up with no problems. It is a Windows 2008 R2 server which sites on an 8 node Hyper-V 2012 R2 cluster (with CSVs). I am using DPM 2012 R2 to run the backups which have been
successful for the last few weeks but then Oracle was installed and the backups have failed since then.
The job fails and a large number of VSS writers go into a 'Failed' state with the 'Last Error' showing as 'Timed out'. I then get 4 popups appear each referring to a 'temporary' drive which appears briefly in Disk Management with a RAW file system.
These pops say "You need to format the disk in drive X: before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" (where
X: is replaced by the drive letter assigned to each 'temporary' drive).
The System event log is populated with a large number of warnings with Event 51, Disk, stating "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk<number>\DR<number> during a paging operation". There are also a
few warnings for Ntfs (eventid 57) stating that "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur."
Prior to these warnings there are 5 other warnings for partmgr (eventid 58) stating "The disk signature of disk
<number x> is equal to the disk signatuire of disk <number y>" and 4 errors (eventid 1, VDS Basic Provider), "Unexpected failure. Error code: 490@01010004".
There is a script which is run to stop the Oracle application on the server and if this is run then the backups will complete successfully. We have been troubleshooting this by running a certain amount of the script and seeing which part affects the
backup and it seems that if the Weblogic (wls_reports) service is stopped then the backup will succeed but if it is running then the backup will fail and the above symptoms occur.
Another point which may help is that there is a pre-production server which resides on a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper-V standalone server, has the same scripts and installation of Oracle but backs up without any issues.
I have experienced VSS writer failures before with VM backups but I have not seen this before. It is not intermittent and I can find no work around to alleviate the problem of having no backup (except stopping this service or shutting the server down,
but as it is a production server this is not practical).
If anyone has experienced this before or have any suggestions / advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
I have exactly the same issue.
2008 R2 Server running Oracle
6 node 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV
Exact same errors and popup "format disk" message.
DPM2012 R2
I also have some other VM's on the same cluster which do back up through DPM
The only difference I can see is the server which has the issue has a legacy network adapter.
Production server so cannot make any changes until later but will add new adapter and report back.
Interesting about the Weblogic service, may test this also.
Cheers
Kev.

DPM 2012 R2 Roll Up 2: Agent Terminating or Checksum mismatch during backups

Hi There,
I have dual DPM server deployment. Primary DPM server backs up to disk in my production site and then I have a Secondary DPM server creating replicas to Disk and Tape in my DR site. Both DPM servers are running DPM 2012 R2. I recently installed DPM 2012
R2 Roll Up 2 (Was running Roll up 1 for weeks without issue), careful not to install the bugged version of the update. Everything was running normally and then suddenly about 4 days later some of my resources started failing and became inconsistent on my Secondary
DPM server.
Either:
1. My DPMRA service on my Secondary DPM server terminates with the following Application Log error
Faulting application name: DPMRA.exe, version: 4.2.1235.0, time stamp: 0x536a4419
Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.2.9200.16864, time stamp: 0x531d34d8
Exception code: 0x80004005
Fault offset: 0x0000000000047b8c
Faulting process id: 0x1f18
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf8a0713e8c930
Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\DPM\DPM\bin\DPMRA.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\KERNELBASE.dll
Report Id: 19d99bee-f5fd-11e3-93fe-782bcb479b76
Faulting package full name:
Faulting package-relative application ID:
OR
2. DPM has detected a checksum mismatch during data transfer over the network (ID: 30087)
I have already removed and deleted from disk the failing resources on the Secondary DPM server and then re-added them to the protection groups, but again either the agent terminates or fails with checksum during replica creation or consistency check. Note
that the Primary DPM server is happy and all the resources are green and backing up successfully numerous times a day.
I suspect that the update 4 days before the issues started might have created this issue. Has anyone had these issues or know of potential ways to fix it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I really don't want to rebuild the Secondary DPM server.
Thanks
Jacques

Hi,
Here is an update. I have managed to get a workaround.
If I enforce IPSec with ESP between my primary and secondary DPM server then the agent stops terminating or reporting checksum errors.
Still waiting on someone from the DPM team to give a suggestion here as it seems to be a bug that started after I installed Roll Up 2 for DPM 2012 R2
Thanks
Jacques

Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting this Co-located Protection Group Set across three different tapes?

I have 10 protection groups that ran Saturday night. I have put information about them in the following table:
I extracted the data in the table using Get-DPMProtectionGroup CmdLet and the job information from the Monitoring page of the DPM admin console. As you can see from the tape barcode, DPM wrote the first four PGs to one tape, then started a second
tape, and finally failed when starting a third because it had run out of free tapes.
All of the protection groups are assigned to the same "Co-Located Protection Group Set" in the "Tape Optimization Setup" dialog box.
Prior to the jobs running, I painstakingly ensured that each of the Protection Group's "Select Long-Term Goals" and "Select Library and Tape Details" screens are identical as follows:
Prior to running the jobs I had already disabled autoclean on the tape library.
I have checked to see if the tape drive is reporting IO error 0x8007045D using the method described in this blog post:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2012/05/14/things-you-can-do-to-help-data-protection-manager-utilize-your-tapes-full-capacity.aspx
There seems to be no mention of 0x8007045D or -2147023779 in any of the MSDPM*.Errlog files.
These are LTO6 tapes with a capacity of 2.5 TB each. The total data for all the jobs put together is less than 300GB.
Why is DPM 2012 R2 splitting these protection groups across three different tapes?
What else should I check for that might cause DPM to start a new tape?

Hi Mike,
Thanks for taking a look at the logs. I just wanted to point out that there were actually two changes made just before collocation succeeded:
Write Period and Expiry Tolerance were increase
Full Verbose logging was enabled
This technet article states that Full Verbose logging affects performance. If the problem with collocation is caused by a race condition then it is
possible that enabling logging actually caused collocation to succeed. At this point there doesn’t seem to be any evidence pointing to which of the two changes resulted in collocation succeeding.
I propose I run the following tests to differentiate the two:
Test #1 - Collocation Confirmation
Repeat last weekend's test to confirm that successful collocation wasn't an anomaly. Configuration:
full verbose logging: Enabled
Expiry Tolerance: 1 year
Write Period: 1 year
Test #2 - Logging Only
Test to see whether enabling Full Verbose logging enabled collocation to succeed. Configuration:
full verbose logging: Enabled
Expiry Tolerance: 7 days
Write Period: 6 day
Thanks for your help,
Alex

DPM 2012 R2 UR4 and BMR backup from physical 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS)

Hi,
I'm completely lost.
We updated from DPM2010 (2008 R2) to DPM 2012 R2 RU4 (2012 R2).
Clean install. Same hardware. Everything went quite smoothly.
Our new (and also old did the same thing) DMP protects some Hyper-V guest on our 2008 R2 Hyper-V cluster, one Exchange (2010) DB's and SQL 2008 R2 DB's and one physical server - 2008 R2 (DC, DNS, DHCP,WSUS, WDS ~160GB of data).
Currently we are using some Buffalo Terastation's III (TS-RIXL) iSCSI SAN storage to hold our DPM protected data.
Configured as RAID 5.
Our new DPM server is connected to those iSCSI devices using built in MS iSCSI initiator via secondary NIC on this server using dedicated iSCSI subnet.
Everything seems to be fine unitil System State and BMR (I'v checked both) runs.
Basically my iSCSI NIC shows Write about ~170Mbit/s and Read about 520Mbit/s when backing up virtual machines, Exchange or SQL.
When it comes to System State and BMR backup the trouhgput is MUCH slower (about 65Mbit/s) and I can not figure out why. I understand that the BMR backup initiates direct writing to the DPM created and shared replica volume on my iSCSI NAS (my wording
might be not correct but basically I understand how this works). But I don't understand why the speed is so much slower. I'v tried everything, googeled around, changed NIC drivers, firmware etc. No luck.
If I just copy some big ISO file from/to server to DPM or vice versa the speed is arount 100MB/s (as reported by windows itself). So it seems to able to utilize full network speed. But why this backup is so slow? I'm excpecting to see speed about ~170Mbit/s
because it corresponds my iSCSI Write speed as seen when backing up hyper-v guests and DB's..
What I'm doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated :)
rgds Sven

Hi Sven,
Sometimes BMR is slower than backing up virtual machines (VHDs). If there is a free local disk, please test to do a backup locally to see the speed. From your description a common backup works much faster so let's see if it is the backup speed which causes
the issue or not.

DPM 2012 - Get unprotected Clients via Powershell

Hey,
i want to get all unprotected Clients via Powershell (or SQL). In the DPM 2012 Console over the Management View it's easy to see, but i cannot find a cmdlet, so i want to create a Report about unprotected Clients.
Thanks in advance! :)

Ok. Ensure that where you execute the script you have the AD Powershell Module and use this script:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$computers = Get-ADComputer -Filter *
foreach ($computer in $computers){
$computerName = $computer.DNSHostName
$object = Get-WmiObject -ComputerName $computerName win32_service -filter "name='DPMRA'"
if ($object -eq $null){
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "The server $computerName has no DPM agent installed"
} else {
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "The server $computerName has the DPM agent installed"
You can improve it with log, etc... Tell me if it works :-)
