DPM 2012 R2 Bug: Unable to backup a VM with the same name as an old VM

Scenario:
You have a VM called "Virtual Machine 1" running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster and you backup this virtual machine using DPM 2012 R2.
You remove "Virtual Machine 1" from DPM, selecting delete replicas and expire all tape backups, and then delete the VM from the cluster as it is no longer required.
Later you create a new virtual machine called "Virtual Machine 1" on the same cluster.  You attempt to backup the VM with DPM however when attempting to add the VM to a protection group you get the error "DPM cannot access the path \Online\Virtual
Machine 1 because part of the path has been deleted or renamed.  Check the path and enter it again".  Refreshing the data source/clearing the cache doesn't help
The only solution I could find that worked was to delete the data source record in DPMDB..tbl_IM_DataSource for the virtual machine.  This also required deleting records that referenced the DataSourceId in other tables.

Hi
yo need to clear the Cache on the ProtectionGroup Wizard.

  • WPC: unable to add different resources with the same name into a WPC page

    Hi,
    I got a WPC problem when adding different KM resources with the same name into a WPC page.  Only one KM resource is able to be added in WPC.
    For example:
    There two "article.html" with different content and RID:
    1. /company_a/article.html
    2. /company_b/article.html
    when adding these two html pages into a WPC page, only one page will be shown.
    This means that a WPC page is not able to contain resources with same file names.  I think the problem might lie on the resource-linking mechanism of WPC. WPC will add a resource link in the page folder, when a new resource is drag&dropped into WPC.
    Anyone has some good ideas to solve my problem? Thanks a lot.
    Regards

    As this is not possible and double entries cause this problem, why not just pu both napes in the contact details on the same number. IE John Smith & Peter Jones all in the first name, by doing this if you search your contacts either by searching for john, peter, smith or jones the number will show up and if either calls the number will show John Smith & Peter Jones, it may not be perfect but will work. As the phone only recognises a number if two seperate entries of the number exist with different names it cannot possibly know who is calling ?

  • Unable create a target file with the same name

    Hi,
    I have to pick an attachment from a web service and place the attachment in
    a folder, with the same name (Attached File Name). I tried this using SOAP to file
    scenario. Using SOAP, I'm able to get the attachment inside PI with the same
    name, but not able to generate the file in the receiver end.
    Please let me know if this is possible or else is there any other way to do
    it.

  • Bug with workflow that creates a folder and sub folder with the same name.

    Hi,
    I've found a possible bug in SharePoint 2010 workflows. I only have access to SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint Designer 2010 over my companies intranet, afaik I don't have access to to logs or anything server side so sorry for the any missing information.
    I had some problems with a workflow in one list that needed to create some folders and subfolders in a second list. The production version did a lot more so I setup a test area with 1 list and a workflow that only does the folder creation part and have managed
    to consistently replicate this problem.
    The test list has two columns, [title] and [sub folder title]
    The workflow starts by getting the values for [title] and [sub folder title] into variables.
    It then creates a folder in the same list with the same name as [title], and then creates a sub folder under this with the name from [sub folder title]
    So the resulting structure would be:
    Test List:-
        List item with fields [title] and [sub folder title]
        [folder: title]:-
            [folder: sub folder title]
    If both folder names are different (e.g Folder1 and Folder2) then it works perfectly fine, if both folder names are the same (regardless of character case, e.g. samefolderName and sameFolderName) then the workflow fails.
    As part of the test i made the first action of the workflow to log the message "Workflow Started" to the history list. When the workflow fail there's nothing logged in the history list other than the error: "The workflow could not update the
    item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information."
    Creating a sub folder with the same name as it's parent works fine manually but for some reason a workflow can't seem to do it in one action.
    As there's no history list entries before the error it looks like the workflow is just failing to start but if i do something like add an if statement to check if [title] and [sub folder title] are the same, and only create the subfolder when they are not
    then it runs fine doing what it's set to.
    The function of the workflow in our office was for convenience so were just working without it. Just wanted to post to see if anyone else has come across this/could try to replicate or explain this  and see if it's a SharePoint bug or something specific
    to our setup.
    thanks,
    Martin

    not sure about the specifics of your workflow, but if you're querying the list for the folders... keep in mind that a list lookup will only ever bring back ONE item... even if there are several items that meet the filter criteria... example: if i search
    a list for an item assigned to "john doe", there may be 15 tasks that meet the criteria, and it'll only grab one... this is why SP Designer WARNS you when your list lookup may exhibit this behavior.

    QA: Yes - try again with legacy-collection true and false.
    Doc: No
    Checkintests: Pass
    Details: Another try in fixing this bug. When legacy-collection is false, Actionscript Array on the client becomes Java Array on the server and my fix yesterday assumed this case. However, when legacy-collection is true, Actionscript Array becomes Java ArrayList on the server. So added code to handle this case.

    Hi all!
    Just to post the solution to this if anyone ever runs accross this thread...
    For some reason i had it bad the first time, don't have time right now to see why but here is what worked for me:
    HashMap primaryFile = new HashMap();
    primaryFile.put("fileContent", bFile);
    primaryFile.put("fileName", uploadedFile.getFilename());
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("primaryFile", primaryFile);
    HashMap customDocMetadata = new HashMap();
    HashMap [] properties = new HashMap[1];
    HashMap customMetadataPropertyRoom = new HashMap();
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("name", "xRoom");
    customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("value", "SOME ROOM");
    properties[0] = customMetadataPropertyRoom;
    customDocMetadata.put("property", properties);
    operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("CustomDocMetaData", customDocMetadata);
    Basically an unbounded wsdl type is an array of objects (HashMaps), makes sense, i thought i had it like this before, must have messed up somewhere...
    Good luck all!

  • Backup DC past tombstone and need help replacing it with another DC with the same name and IP

    Hey Everyone
    We have a single domain in a forest with 2 DCs with AD integrated DNS configured. The primary DC with all the FSMO roles is a VM (Server 2008 R2) and the backup DC is a physical server (Server 2008 non-R2).
    The backup DC's hardware is very old and has been giving us a lot of issues where the system would intermittently BSOD, freeze, black screen only etc. and as a result, the server was turned off for a very long time, definitely beyond the default tombstone
    lifetime of either 60 or 180 days.
    We want to replace this bad backup DC with another physical server which became available as a spare and is much newer and in a working condition hardware wise. We also wish to ultimately give it the same name (FQDN) and IP to basically make it an outright
    replacement for the current bad backup DC.
    My questions are:
    1.) If we are in a position where the bad server could possibly physically boot and start the operating system and have network connectivity, will we be able to use DCPROMO as one would normally do to demote this DC, or will it have to be done forcefully,
    while keeping in mind as I said that the DC is way past the tombstone lifetime period?
    2.) If it has to be done forcefully, I am aware that the meta data needs to be cleaned up in AD on the working primary DC, although I have never performed such a process before. If this is done, are there any other things I need to look out for or do
    before I attempt to replace it with the other server which I will set up wit the same name (FQDN) and IP, then add to the domain, and then lastly promote as per normal using DCPROMO?
    I know we will have to upgrade the scema to 2012RM as the replacement backup DC will be running this newer operating system.
    Anything else you wish to add or point out to me would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    CTV

  • DPM 2012 SP1 - Protecting Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2013 at the same time

    Hi,
    From which Exchange Server am I commited to copy the ESEUTIL.exe and ESE.dll to the DPM Directory for protecting the whole Exchange databases from both products (2010 and 2013) ?
    Thanks for replies.
    Regards
    Phil

    The visual c++ libraries actually need to be installed on the Exchange 2013 server.
    To protect Exchange 2013 with DPM SP1, in addition to copying the ese.dll
    and eseutil.exe files to the DPM
    bin folder, you also need to install the
    Visual C++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 1(vcredist) on your Exchange server. You can download it from
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/ details.aspx?id=30679
    Installing vcredist on your Exchange server loads components of Visual C++ libraries. The Visual C++ libraries are needed when an application that was developed using Visual Studio 2012
    is installed on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2012 installed. Without Visual Studio 2012 or the Visual C++ libraries, you will run into errors trying to protect Exchange 2013.
    Let us know if it works after doing this.
    NOTE: The Exchange 2013 ese.dll and eseutil.exe files will cover Exchange 2010 also.

  • Trying to backup one of my iPhoto libraries I keep getting a error message that basically says that the file could not be backed up because there is another file on the external drive with the same name, etc. There is no other file.

    While trying to copy one of my iPhoto libraries to an external hard drive I get the following error message "You can’t copy “iPhoto Library old” because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that volume doesn’t distinguish between upper- and lowercase letters in filenames." There is no other file on the external drive with this name. I have asked this question before and was told that there are some duplicate photos (files) in my library and I needed to go to "show file contents" and look at certain files to find duplicates and delete the duplicates. I did all of this and the library will still not copy and always stops copying in the exact same place on each attempt. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You've been deleting your actual Photos.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    Best way forward now is to recover the surviving Originals from this library and start over from scratch.
    Regards

  • BUG: LabVIEW 8.6 crashes when you save a class vi with the same name

    I am running into an annoying crash.  If you try to add a VI with the same name to an existing class, LabVIEW will notify you that you made an error.  Once you hit OK, LabVIEW crashes.  Obviously, the workaround is not to save any VI with the same name as an existing VI to your class.

    I have attached a ZIP file with an example project.  Open the project and open one of the VIs in Test Class.  Choose File->Save As.  Choose Copy->Open additional copy.  Make sure the box for Add copy to Test Class.lvclass is checked.
    Do NOT try to save the VI over top of the existing VI.   Go to a new folder and save the VI without changing the name.  LabVIEW will save the VI, then inidcate it cannot add the file due to a naming conflict.  Once you hit OK, LabVIEW may or may not hang for a few seconds, then crash.
    When LabVIEW restarts, it does not indicate anything happened. It just comes up with the standard startup screen.
    I stumbled across this attempting to create a copy of an existing VI, but forgetting to change the name.
    I confirmed this does not happen in LabVIEW 8.5.1, so the behavior is new to 8.6.
