DPM 2010 reinstall secondary, format storage pool

I have 2 DPM servers, both 2010, a primary and secondary. The secondary is at a separate site and backs up the primary. The OS disk on the secondary died. Single disk. I did not have a backup of the system state nor the DPM db/configuration. The storage
pool data is still in tact. I have managed to reinstall DPM and configure a protection group for the primary DPM server and attempt backups.
The issue is that all of the DPM data in the storage pool from before the crash is still there. The storage pool is 7tb and was about 40% used. Since I've run new replication from the primary with the new jobs, it's about 80% used. This is my secondary server,
so I think I can afford to wipe the entire storage pool on the secondary DPM and start over.
But how do I completely format the storage pool? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm doing? I do not need to keep the old recovery points/storage pool data, it's months old.

I have another question for this configuration. I'm trying to understand whether the secondary DPM server "touches" or directly backs up the "protected servers" in the PG's on the primary? What I mean - does the secondary only pull data
and backup the data from the storage pool on the primary or does it actually pull data and backup directly from the protected server, ie - Exchange or file server?
I'm trying to best setup recovery points and sync on the secondary. I have a full PG setup on the primary with proper sync's and recovery points for my servers, but what is best for the secondary? It's simply replication of the primary, so a 1-time copy of
the data, probably nightly would suffice for my business needs. Do I need to schedule any synchronization at all for the replication?
On the secondary PG, do I need to choose each "protected server" and it's volumes and db's and applications, etc.?
I know this question is all over the place. Sorry.

DPM 2010; migrated DPM protection group to new storage pool ; data on source disk is not expiring

I am running DPM 2010 with 4 storage pool disks. 2 are iSCSI; 1 is SAS; the fourth, also iSCSI, was recently deployed to replace the SAS storage pool disk.
(1) iSCSI
(2) iSCSI
(3) SAS - Source
(4) iSCSI - Destination
Initially we tried to migrate the entire data source (3) to the new iSCSI storage pool disk destination (4). This failed
Set-ProtectionGroup: The allocation of disk space for storage pool volume failed because there is not enough unallocated disk space in the storage pool (ID: 358). (Sorry, I was not allowed to attach an image).
We believe the source disk previously created dynamic links to the long-term retention device (tape) which resulted in exceeding the available space on the new destination iSCSI storage pool disk. The source storage pool disk was totaling ~2.5TB, but needed
~9TB for the destination.
Instead I've tried to migrate the DPM protection group. The migration was successful. I followed the procedure outlined here
"Microsoft DPM 2012 Sp1 – How To Migrate Data Source using MigrateDatasourceDataFromDPM by ICTtechie" (Sorry, I was not allowed to include a link).
My understanding / expectation was that the data on the source disk would expire within 5 days (as this is our retention time set for disk replication); instead data started to expire from the other 2 iSCSI (1), (2) storage pool disks.
What am I missing here?
Thanks

Ok - you may have bumped into this.

DPM 2010 not recognizing space on new disk in storage pool

We are running DPM 2010 and added one iSCSI drive with over 7 TB to the storage pool. When creating a new protection group, DPM throws the error "insufficient disk space". I'm new to DPM and none of my research has shown a reason for this error.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.

At what point should the storage pool be connected to a replacement DPM server?

I have backed up the DPMDB and SQL DB from our "old" DPM server, removed it from the domain, and installed the same version, DPM 2007, SP1, on a new server with the same FQDN. At what point do I connect the storage pool to the new server?
Before restoring the db, or after restoring the db but before doing a dpmsync? Nowhere in the sea of documentation on migrating and upgrading have I found that little detail mentioned. Please help!

Mike, I'm doing another DPM rebuild and upgrade, and I connected the storage pool too soon. Can I save the situation, or do I need to detach the disks, uninstall DPM, delete the db, reinstall, restore the db from the previous backup, and then attach
the disks and sync? Thank you!

DPM Storage Pool on Windows Server 2012R2 iSCSI target Storage Spaces - supported?

Hi,
for migration purpose we need more space for one of our DPM 2012R2 Servers.
And we cannot buy more space for our NetAPPs..
So our idea was to use an Windows Server 2012R2 as an iSCSI target and use Storage Spaces.
I remember something that using an iSCSI target on Windows 2008 was not supported.
Is this configuration supported when usinf DPM 2012R2 on Win 2012R2 and the target is Win2012R2 aswell?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
This talks about
Virtual DPM servers, but the same is true for Physical DPM servers when it comes to using .VHD(x) files for DPM storage pool.
Virtual DPM installations do not support the following:
Windows 2012 Storage Spaces.
Virtual hard drives built on top of storage spaces.
Local or remote hosting of VHDX files on Windows 2012 storage spaces.
Enabling Disk Dedupe on volumes hosting virtual hard drives.
Using synthetic FC to connect to tape drives.
Windows 2012 iSCSI targets (which use virtual hard drives) as a DPM storage pool.
NTFS compression for volumes hosting VHD files used in the DPM storage pool.
Bitlocker on volumes hosting VHD files used for the storage pool.
A native 4K sector size of physical disks for VHDX files in the DPM storage pool.
Virtual hard drives hosted on Windows 2008 servers.

Use Storsimple LUN as storage pool in DPM

Can we use Storsimple LUN as the storage pool and assign to DPM?
Is this supported?
Lai (My blog:- http://www.ms4u.info)

Hi,
DPM tracks changes of protected files at the block level, and applies block level changes to files sitting on the DPM replica. DPM does not operate at the file level, so if storsimple device was used in DPM storage pool
and were to truncate files as part of it’s offload to cloud operation and files changed on the protected server, when DPM tried to apply that block level change to the files – that would cause corruption. Also consistency checks perform block level
comparisons to NTFS structures and file data, and again, DPM would basically see the work done by Storsimple as mismatched data and end up brining over a full copy of the file and re-writing it to the replica volume.
Simply said, the technologies are not compatible.
With that said, using Storsimple as a depository for VTL media (like firestreamer) would be supported by DPM, but not sure that has actually been tested by anybody at Microsoft.

Win 8.1 Storage Pool not allowing "add drive" nor allow expand capacity

Have one Storage Space within one Storage Pool (Parity mode) containing 4 identical hard drives.
Used for data storage, it appears to be functioning normally
and
has filled 88% of capacity
(ie. 88% x 2/3 of physical capacity (parity mode))
The only other storage on this new PC is an SSD used for OS (win 8.1 pro) and application software.
In "Manage Storage Spaces"
displays this warning message to add drives:
< Warning >
< Low capacity; add 3 drives >
After clicking "add drives", it displays:
"No drives that work with Storage Spaces are available. Make sure that the drives that you want to use are connected.".
However I had connected another two identical hard drives via SATA cables and "Disk Management" displays these two drives available.
in summary:
"Manage Storage Spaces" does not find these drives as available although they show correctly in Disk Management.
btw - I removed the pre-existing partitioning on the 'new' drives so now they show only as "unallocated" in "Disk Management". (I did
likewise before Storage Pool found the 4 original drives)
Perhaps the problem is to increase the total nominal capacity of the Storage Space, before can add more drives?
Microsoft says that the capacity of Storage Pools can be increased but cannot be decreased -
but computer displays no Change "button" by which this can be done. There is supposed to be a "Change" button but that is
not displaying for me. So "Manage Storage Spaces" offer me no option to manage the "size" of the pool.
only five options are displayed:
Create a storage space (ie. from the small amount remaining unused in the Pool)
Add drives (.... as explained already)
Rename pool (only renames the storage space)
Format (ie. re-format and so lose all current data)
Delete (ie. delete the storage space and so lose all current data)
using Google, find nothing bearing on this problem
except the most basic instructions to set up a storage space!
Can you help?
The problem is that the Storage Pool is not displaying a "button" to increase capacity, and when click "add drives" finds no hard drives available.

Hi,
I would suggest you launch Device Manager, then expand
Disk drives. Right-click the disk listed as "Disk drive", and select
Uninstall. On the Action menu, click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall the disk.
Please also take a look of this link:
see this part: How do I increase pool capacity?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11382.storage-spaces-frequently-asked-questions-faq.aspx#How_do_I_increase_pool_capacity
According to the link, to extend a parity space, the pool would need the appropriate number of columns available to accommodate the layout of the disk.

DPM 2010 installation failure (SQL-server Reporting Services Problem)

Hi everyone,
The last 2 days I have been trying to get DPM 2010 installed on a DC. I know this is not recommended, but for our company with the current setup it's the only way to do it.
I have been reading some Microsoft articles (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399416.aspx) about doing this but I fail to do so.
I have made all of the right service accounts (I guess) and am doing everything in the guide but still get the same error message over and over again:
Setup has detected that the installation of Reporting Services is not correctly configured or no instance of Reporting Services is linked to DPM2010 of SQL Server
I just can't get my head around it. This is the error message when I try to install DPM 2010 using an existing SQL-database which I have configured in the SQL 2008-server sp1 installation.
I have enclosed some screenshots so you could maybe check some things that are not correct? Hopefully we can get this issue resolved, because it's driving me crazy to be honest!
Physical server which is ADC and where I need to install SQL-server and DPM: VMBACKUP
The service account for DPM is: DPMSQLSvcsAcct
Also have another service account: DPMR$VMBACKUP
I have also enclosed the error log located in C:\DPMLogs\

System Center 2012R2 Tapeless Storage Pool Backup

I'm not sure exactly what to search for here, but I tried "Disk to Disk to Disk" and "Private Cloud" without much luck. I want to back up to disk and then back up the storage pool to a private off site location (but for all practical
purposes, I could be backing up the storage pool to another storage pool on-site as far as the servers know, depending on how I configure the networking). Since the location is actually off-site, I don't want to do full backups of the storage pool, I
want to do differencing backups so that the amount of data transferred off-site is minimal. Old revisions of the off-site storage only need to last weeks or months, not years, so tapes (virtual or otherwise) would ideally not be involved.
The only things my searches turned up seemed to advise using virtual tapes and the like, but I'm concerned about that meeting my needs. Specifically, if I'm using virtual tapes, I would expect a full backup to be required any time I wanted to purge
incremental backups. In other words, with virtual tapes, I believe (perhaps mistakenly?) that my options are to have my storage needs grow infinitely or my data transfer needs skyrocket occasionally, and neither of those are good options.
Is backing up one storage pool to another supported? If not, is there something I'm missing with in regards to how a virtual tape option would work? If not, is there some other way to achieve this goal (for instance, effectively be creating
my own local Azure storage destination or something)?

Hi,
The two best options are using a Secondary DPM server or enabling online backups to Azure. Both will perform true incremental backups for DPM protected data sources and provide DR solutions off premise.

DPM 2010

Hi,
I have a DPM 2010 Server which is doing extremely strange things. It says I am running out of disk space, my allocated disk is 12TB and the actual used space is 7TB. I can't see which server is taking up more capacity than it should and am stuck
as to what to do next. I know the replica volume needs to be modified but none of the servers are taking up the additional 3TB of space, so where has this space gone?
Many thanks

Hi,
Once disk space is allocated to a replica or recovery point volume that space cannot be used by anything else. Even if you decide to reduce the retention period - the space that is freed up is only on that volume and is never returned to the storage
pool. The only supported method of getting space back in the storage pool is to shrink the recovery point volume if it's over-allocated.
You can download the shrink-diskpart.zip file from the following location. This may be updated at a later time and is supplied as-is.
http://1drv.ms/1vICq9l
It has three modes of operation and will prompt to select one during execution.
R = Report, S = Shrink with confirmation, A = Automatically Shrink all possible volumes:
Recovery points are counted by days with successful recovery points regardless of how many recoivery points are taken on any given day. So, if you took 8 recovery points a day (counting express full and incremental) for 14 days, that would equal 112
recovery points. On the 15th day, we would delete 8. If you missed a few days where no RP's were made, then those days would not count toward the 14 days and we would not prune any. So you could actually see RP from 17 days ago, but still
not have 14 days of recovery points, so no pruning would occur.

Migrate data from DPM 2010 to DPM 2012

Hello.
I am currently using DPM 2010. I want to move to DPM 2012, but not as an upgrade. I am using a 20 TB storage pool for nightly backups and tape for weekly backups. The goal of the upgrade is to upgrade the OS as well as DPM, so this will be a fresh installation,
not an in place upgrade. Is there a way to get the recovery point information for tapes and the storage pool migrated into DPM 2012 from DPM 2010?

VirtualDisk on Windows Server 2012 R2 Storage Pool stuck in "Warning: In Service" state and all file transfers to and from is awfully slow

Greetings,
I'm having some trouble with my Windows Storage Pool and my VirtualDisk running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 installation. It consists of 8x Western Digital RE-4 2TB drives + 2x Western Digital Black Edition 2TB drives and have been configured in a single-disk
parity setup and the virtual disk is running fixed provisioning (max size) and is formatted with ReFS.
It's been running solid for months besides some awful write-speeds at times, it seems like the write performance running ReFS compared to NTFS is not that good.
I was recommended to add SSD's for journalling in order to boost write-performance. Sadly I seemed to screw up this part, you need to due this through PowerShell and it needs to be done before creating the virtualdisk. I managed to add my SSD to the Storage
Pool and then remove it.
This seem to have caused some awkward issues, I'm not quite sure of why as the virtualdisk is "fixed" so adding the SSD to the Storage Pool shouldn't really do anything, right? But after I did this my virtual disk have been stuck in "Warning:
In Service" and it seems to be stuck? It's been 4-5 days and it's still the same and the performance is currently horrible. Moving 40GB of data off the virtual disk took me about 20 hours or so. Launching files under 1mb of the virtual disk takes several
minutes etc.. It's pretty much useless.
The GUI is not providing any useful information about what's going on. What does "Warning: In Service" actually imply? How am I supposed to know how long this is supposed to take? Running Get-Virtualdisk in PowerShell does not provide any useful
information either. I did try to do a repair through the Server Manager GUI but it goes to about 21% within 2-3 hours but drops back down to 10%. I have had the repair running for days but it wont go past 21% without dropping back down again.
Running repair through PowerShell yields the same results, but if I detach the virtual disk and then try to repair through PowerShell (the GUI wont let me do repair on detached virtual disks) it will just run for a split second and then close.
After doing some "Googeling" I've seen people mentioning that the repair is not able to finish unless I have at least the same amount of free space in the Storage Pool as the largest drive in my Storage Pool is housing so I added a 4TB drive as
due to me running fixed provisioning I had used all the space in the pool but the repair is still not able to go past 21%.
As am running "fixed provisioning" I guess adding a extra drive to the pool doesn't do much difference as it's not available for the virtual disk? So I went ahead and deleted 3 TB of data on the virtual disk so now I've got about 4 TB free space
on the virtual disk so there should be plenty of room for Windows Server 2012 R2 to re-build the parity or whatever it's trying to do but it's still the same, the repair wont move past 21% and the virtual disk is still stuck in "Warning: In Service"
mode and the performance keeps being horrible so taking a backup will take forever at these speeds...
Am I missing something here? All the drives in the pool is working fine. I have verified using various bootable tools so why is this happening and what can I do to get the virtual disk running at full state again? Why doesn't the GUI prompt you with any
kind of usable information?
Best regards, Thomas Andre

Hi,
Please run chkdsk /f /r command on the virtual disk to have a try. In the meantime, run the following commands in PowerShell to share the output.
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> | get-physicaldisk | fl
get-virtualdisk -friendlyname <name> |fl

After upgrading to 8.1 Pro from 8.0 Pro, my Storage Spaces and Storage Pool are all gone.

Under 8.0 I had three 4-terabyte drives set up as a Storage Pool in Storage Spaces. I had five storage-space drives using this pool I had
been using them for months with no problems. After upgrading to 8.1 ( which gave no errors ) the drives no longer exist. Going into "Storage Spaces" in the control panel, I do not see my existing storage pool or storage drives. I'm prompted
to create a new Pool and Storage Spaces. If I click the "Create Pool" it does not list the three drives I used previously as available to add.
Device Manager shows all three drives as present and OK.
Disk Management shows Disks 0,1,2,6. The gap in between 2 and 6 is where the 3,4,5 storage spaces drives were.
Nothing helpful in the event log or the services.
I've downloaded the ReclaiMe Storage Spaces recovery tool and it sees all of my logical drives with a "good" prognosis for recovery. I've not gone down that road yet though because it requires separate physical drives to copy everything to
and they want $299 for the privilege.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of doing a fresh 8.1 install to another drive to see if it can see it or reinstalling 8.1 to the existing drive in the hope that it will just suddenly work. Or possibly going back to 8.0.
Thanks for your help!
Steve

Hi,
“For parity spaces you must backup your data and delete the parity spaces. At this point, you may upgrade or perform a clean install of Windows 8. After the upgrade or clean installation is complete, you may recreate parity spaces and

DPM 2010 agent install on W2k8 Domain Controller issue

Hey guys, so I'm having a problem getting DPM 2010 agents on my Windows 2008 domain controllers. For some reason the agent will not communicate with the dpm server after running the attach process. The process I go through to install (which is
working in my Dev environment) is
1) (on DC) Run manual agent install by running agent.exe file from ProtectionAgents folder on DPM server
2) (on DC) Run the setdpmserver command line to specify the DPM server
3) (on specified DPM server) Run Agent attach sequence from Agent tabs in DPM console which says successful, but when you return to agents view under "unprotected computers" I see error.
I've verified the tests that other users have posted on this forum including
PING, DCOM permissions, verifying that inbound rules are setup, tested SMB, tested RPC, and also uninstalled and reinstalled the agent. Any ideas where to search next?

I checked the MSDPMCurr.errlog, but I'm not exactly sure how to look for the failures that relate to the DC. When I search for the netbios name of the DC, I can see failures, but I also see identical failures under other server names as well. Is there anything
specifically I should be looking for?
I am requesting turning off the integrated firewall for testing as well and am awaiting an answer.
I am attaching part of the log I was looking at.

Protection Agent failure error during backup to tape with DPM 2010.

DPM TechNet Forum,
We are experiencing an intermittent error when backing up to tape using DPM 2010 (with latest QFE roll-up applied).
"The operation failed because of a protection agent failure. (ID 998 Details: The device is not connected (0x8007048F))"
Any idea what could be causing this error?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Hi,
You can try to reproduce the problem outside of DPM using some external utilities. If you have more than one drive in the library, run the test against both drives simultaneously to simulate multiple backup jobs running. If you get an error
before the tape fills you can use net helpmsg errorcode to see what the error was.
Download the DPMerasetape.zip file from the following link and extract to c:\temp folder.
