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.

  • DPM 2010 Shell Cmdlets usage leading to Powershell crash

    Hi all,
    I have 71 DPM 2010 servers located at various places in the world. The most of them have a good and reliable network connection while some of them are connected via Sat-Link. All of my DPM 2010 servers have the same version, and are all running in identical
    W2K8 Servers with Powershell 3 installed on them. I've made a script to inventorize Datasource Replica disk usage/allocation, shadow volume disk usage/allocation and the number of recovery points, their size. The goal of this script is to do the job that DPM
    2010 should normaly do, for instance, deleting recovery points above retention date because it is not always the case... File recovery points number grows to their maximum (64) and for system State (because there is no User recovery on these ressources) their
    number can be above 100 and generally it's about 150...
    The script is running well locally, but if I try yo run a single Get-Datasource from one of my servers targeting another server, sometimes it leads to a simple Powershell crash... I also tried an invoke-command as job it's the same, the job returns nothing
    but it is marked as completed or sometimes as failed. This happens always on some server and on the other only sometimes...
    I really don't understand where is the origin of this problem... As anyone encountered such behaviour ?
    Thanks a lot in advance ;-)

    I did not find a solution to my problem yet, but I solved a part of it...
    The first of all "Powershell crash" was solved by issuing a Disconnect-DPMServer before each Get-DataSource...
    The second problem solved was the fact that the Get-DataSource cmdlet required the parameter <DPMServer> to be fully in Uppercase...
    The last problem remaining is the Invoke-command that continue to fail... Here is my code :
    $DPMServerStatusList = @()
    foreach($DPMServer in $DPMServerList){
    if(Test-Connection -Count 1 -BufferSize 16 -ComputerName $DPMServer){
    $DPMServerStatusList += @{

  • DPM 2010 - Getting errors when viewing reports

    Microsoft DPM Forum,
    I am getting the following error when attempting to view reports in DPM 2010:
    An error occurred during client rendering.
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    Cannot create a connection to data source 'DLS'. (rsErrorOpeningConnection)
    Cannot open database "DPMDB" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'servername\DPMR$servername'.
    This is occurring after I rebuilt the OS on the DPM server to resolve a "tape system disconnect" issue that plagued us since November of 2013.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joe

    Mike,
    Thank you for that post.  Yes, I saw that while I was researching a possible solution to the problem.  No dice.  However, I reached out to Prosenjit Kanjilal of the Microsoft DPM Support Team (as he was emailing me on our re-occurring issue
    of Event ID: 15 errors - see other thread).  He had me do the following:
    Open SQL Studio and connect to the instance
    Go to Security->Logins
    Now Add 'servername\DPMR$servername' if it is not already added
    I also had to add the
    dbowner role to the DPMDB database under 'user mapping' for this specific user to actually resolve the issue.  The user wasn't listed in the Logins in SQL Studio.
    Thanks again!
    Joe

  • DPM 2010 Scheduled Jobs Disappear rather than Run

    I have a situation where I have a DPM server that appears to be functioning fine, but none of the scheduled jobs run.  No errors are given, there are no Alerts, and there is nothing in the Event log (Application and System) which indicates a failure. 
    All my Protection Groups show a green tick to indicate that they are fine, but the last successful backup for all of them is Friday the 8th of February.
    If I go to Monitoring and Jobs I see the jobs scheduled, but when the time comes for the job to run, it does not go into the "All jobs in progress", it just merely disappears, like thus:
    And a few minutes later,
    As you can see, the jobs disappear from the queue, and the total number of jobs decreases accordingly.  These jobs do not go into any of the other 3 Statusses (Completed, Failed or In Progress), they just disappear without a trace.
    There is some unallocated space, albeit not much (Used space: 21 155,05 GB Unallocated space: 469,16 GB). If space was an issue I would expect to see errors to indicate this.
    DPM 2010 running version 3.0.8193.0 (hotfix rollup package 6) using remote instance of SQL 2008 which is functioning fine.  I have tried stopping/starting the services, and even rebooted the server twice.  The remote instance of SQL server is using
    a domain account as its service account.  There are no pending Windows updates, i.e. it is fully up-to-date.
    The System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 Troubleshooting Guide (July 2010) does not show how to troubleshoot this particular probelm.
    Does anybody know how to resolve this issue or which logs might help me troubleshoot it?

    OK,
    Did you change the SQL Agent user account ?
    If so, DPM enters the SQL Agent account name into the registry and later we check that account each time the DPM engine launches.  The internal interfaces to DPM are secured using this account so the account name needs to match the account the SQL Agent
    is using. 
    Step 1
    In the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup alter  both
    SqlAgentAccountName and SchedulerJobOwnerName keys to reflect the SQL Agent user account being used.
    Step 2
    Update DCOM launch and access permissions to match what was granted to the Microsoft$DPM$Acct account.

  • 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\

  • DPM 2010 - 2012 Failure

    Hi,
    I am trying to upgrade to DPM to 2012 and keep getting an error on the SQl Server 2008 R2 section.
    SQL is installed locally by DPM 2010 so i am not sure why its failing.
    If I look at the logs and run the more information tab everything passes and there is no issues.
    Anyone got any ideas
    The SQL Server 2008 R2 installation failed. Review the SQL Server installation log file for failures, and then take the appropriate action.

    The SQl server doesn't report any issues and the system configuration check report passes everything :S
    I am at a loss.
    Where are the DPM 2012 installation log files stored?
    I see a folder called c:\DPMLogs but there all old log files.

  • 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.
    https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=b03306b628ab886f&id=B03306B628AB886F%21524&sc=documents
    The utilities are not that user friendly, but here are the basics.
    Always Stop DPMLA Service prior to running MCT.EXE Commands.

  • Dpm 2010 exchange 2010 backups are failing

    Hi, I'm getting an error which does not seem to match in the DPM 2010 ID codes. Randomly, I have backups of an exchange 2010 DAG that are failing. The backup will run for a short time (5mints..up to 10minuts) and then will fail with the following error:
    Type: Recovery point
    Status: Failed
    Description: Backup failed as another copy of 'user' database is currently being backed up. (ID 32628 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990D51)
     More information
    End time: 4/25/2011 10:37:27 PM
    Start time: 4/25/2011 10:26:55 PM
    Time elapsed: 00:10:31
    Data transferred: 0 MB
    Cluster node -
    Recovery Point Type Incremental Sync
    Source details: 06001
    Protection group: EXCH2010 - 06001
    I've tried restarting the DPM server to troubleshoot. I say this happens randomly because I've had some backups successfully complete against the same exchange server. The only other item that seems odd is when creating protection groups against the DAG,
    the intial lookup seems to take forever. Not sure what to try next. 

    Hello,
    As DPM relies on the exchange writer to take the snapshot for the backup, if the backupinprogress flag is set to true and it does not seem get out of this state even when there is no actual backup in place, then at this point DPM is the victim.
    As far as I am aware the only way is to clear that flag is to:
    a.) Reboot the exchange server
    or
    b.) Restart the information store
    In some cases even:
    1.) Either Activate all other databases on another Node except for the Problem Database, and Dismount the Problem database temporarily
    Or:
    1.)Dismount all Databases on this Node including the problem database
    2.)Restart the Exchange Information Store Service.
    3.)Mount any dismounted databases
    You may want to redirect this question below to the exchange 2010 forum of:
    "if the backupinprogress is set to true when it should be set to false as there really is no backup being taken, then how can I reset it without having to perform:
    a.) reboot of exchange
    b.) restart of the information store"

  • What's the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?

    We setup DFS on two Windows 2012 R2 and they are hosting files. What’s the best way to backup DFS using DPM 2010?
    1. When doing data backup, do we backup both dfs01 and dfs02? Or just backup one of them?
    2. Beside the data, what do we need to backup?

    Protecting Data in DFS Namespaces
    Backup files and BRM of dfs01 and dfs2 for minimaze traffic.
    If dfs01 and dfs02 have good channel width that use DPM to only protect a single “copy” of the data located on a server-specific local path.

  • DPM 2010 System Drive and System State backup times increased dramatically

    Using DPM 2010 to backup several computers, hypervisors, and the DPM server it self, a stand alone server all of a sudden no longer backs-up within a reasonable amount of time. This is just happening on the C drive and System State. The D drive and all other
    servers and hypervisors are running smoothly. You can see below that something changed on December 11th. Backups for those two items when from about an hour to over 10 hours each. This is causing all other backups that have yet to run to be canceled because
    we do not typically like the backups to run during business hours.
    No changes to the server had been made. Updates were not applied to that server until December 18th. The server has been restarted. The agent version is the latest v3.0.7706.0. Ran the command "vssadmin list writers", show no errors. Any insight
    would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I updated the exclusions based on the following article using the executables and path listed in TechNet article above but to no avail. Verified AV policy applied.
    https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB68701
    Will have to figure out how to disable AV during backups and enable after completions.
    Will probably write a PowerShell script for this.

  • Server 2008 sp2 freezes during DPM 2010 volume shadow backup

    Hi All,
    We have a hyperv guest server 2008 sp2 that freezes during DPM 2010 volume shadow backup.
    I presume this is when backing up SQL databases. There are no errors in the event logs.
    The sequense of entries in the System event are as follows up until the server freezes.
    1) The DPMRA service entered the running state.
    2) The Volume Shadow Copy service entered the running state. 
    3) DCOM  started the service swprv with arguments "" in order to run the server:
    {65EE1DBA-8FF4-4A58-AC1C-3470EE2F376A}
    4) The Microsoft Software Shadow Copy Provider service entered the running state.
    After this the entries stop and the new entries are from after reboot.                                                               
    You cannot send control-alt-delete or connect to the server in any way.
    Only hard reboot gets it going again.This is the only server this is happening to.
    Please advise if anybody has experienced this and how they resolved.
    Maybe I require a Hotfix.

    This looks similar to what I'm seeing.
    DPM 2010, there's one backup set (for me a file server disk) that every time I try to run the initial replica on it the server hangs and needs to be rebooted by iLO. It doesn't just die suddenly, first the data stream on the backup stops then the OS becomes
    less responsive but there is no resource issue. trying to open event view will cause a few things to lock up then over a few mins the server is complete froze. like the disk drives have been locked.
    Suspecting McAfee, I added in all the exclusions, that didn't help so I added the process exclusions which are done by setting dpmra and csc to low risk and that didn't help either. I could reproduce it just by kicking off a backup for this one file servers
    drive so it's easy to test with.
    Tonight, I had some permissions in EPO to let me stop the scanning completely and disable the on-access scan and for the first time it worked!
    There is definitely an issue between DPM and McAfee beyond what is on MS's web page for AV checks.
    I don't have a workaround yet other than stopping the AV completely... Something to follow up on next week. For the moment I made some progress though.

  • 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 2010 : Get-Datasource properties meaning question

    Hello, i am currently working on a monitoring script that queries one time per day the overall status of DPM backup operations :
    I wonder what is the meaning of some properties (i dumped all properties for the datasource and recoverypoint objects for all ProductionServers)
    the cmdlet I use is : Get-Datasource -ProductionServer $protectedserver -Inquire | where {$_.ProtectionGroupName -ne $null}
    Protected (seems the most relevant to use) = should be true
    State = should be "valid" i presume
    Alert = should be $null
    The more "mystical" fields where i do not know what DPM 2010 is referring to are :
    CurrentProtectionState = UserInputPending (what user input, where ?)
    CurrentlyProtected = False (it reports false for system protection backups)
    Do you know if these values are deprecated / meaningful ?
    Thanks.

    I am currently seeing the CurrentProtectionState = UserInputPending on a new exchange database that I added.  Do you know how this property can be changed or the CurrentlyProtected = False can be change to True using powershell?

  • DPM 2010 agent installation on Domain Controller

    Hello all, recently I tried to install the agent from my DPM 2010 server onto a Win2K8 Domain controller which failed (used a Domain Admin's credientials for the install, and on trusted domain). I remember in DPM 2007 you needed to install the agent through
    command line. Can someone post up the correct steps to get a DPM 2010 agent installed to a DC?

    Same issue here.
    Pushing a DPM 2010 agent to a Windows 2008 DC fails with the error:
    ============
    You cannot install the protection agent on SV-MGMT-03.xxxxxx.nl because access to the computer has been denied.
    ============
    The DPM 2010 agent software is installed but DPM doesn't add the server. With an attach i can add the server but DPM 2010 cannot communicate with it.
    ===============
    Protection agent version: 3.0.7696.0
    Error: Data Protection Manager Error ID: 270
     The agent operation failed on sv-mgmt-03.xxxxx.nl because DPM could not communicate with the DPM protection agent. The computer may be protected by another DPM server, or the protection agent may have been uninstalled on the protected computer.
    If sv-mgmt-03.xxxxxxx.nl is a workgroup server, the password for the DPM user account could have been changed or may have expired.
    Recommended action: Check the following to troubleshoot this issue:
    1) If the agent is not installed on sv-mgmt-03.xxxxxxxxx.nl, run DpmAgentInstaller.exe with this DPM computer as a parameter. For details, see the DPM Deployment Guide.
    2) To attach the computer correctly to this DPM server, run the SetDpmServer tool on the protected computer.
    3) If the computer is protected by another DPM server, or if the protection agent has been uninstalled, remove the protected data sources on this computer from active protection. Then, remove the entry of this computer from the Agents tab in the Management
    task area.
    4) If sv-mgmt-03.xxxxxxxxx.nl is a workgroup server, run SetDpmServer with the -UpdatePassword flag on the protected computer and Update-NonDomainServerInfo.ps1 on the DPM server to update the password.
    5) If the DPM server and the protected computer are not in the same domain, ensure that there is a two-way trust setup between the two domains.
     If the computer is protected by another DPM server, or if the protection agent has been uninstalled, you can remove the record of the computer from this DPM server.
    ==============
    Anyone a solution for this?

  • DPM 2010 Cancel Jobs -Database Backup

    Hi All,
