DPM 2012 R2 crashes during tape backup for a specific server

Hi Community,
A customer of ours is experiencing an issue with DPM crashing after a period of time when backing up a large protection group to tape.
Customer is running DPM 2012 R2 URE 5
Upon looking in the DPM Logs, we see the following error, immediately prior to the system crashing.

The server is part of a protection group that is co-located, I am trying the backup not as part of a co-located set to see if this makes any difference.
Tape backups for other servers, which are part of the same co-location group, work fine and it seems to be just this one causing the issue.
I have seen a few other posts on the net referencing "WARNING MediaPool 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 does not exist." where people have similar issue with DPM crashing out but so far nobody seems to have any answers.
I am debating removing the protection group and trying to 'start from scratch' but wondered if anyone else had any thoughts ?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi,
Open SQL management studio and connect to the instance used by DPM.
Run the following Query against the DPMDB and see if it returns any rows, if so please provide the output.
select MP.mediapoolid, MP.PGSETID from dbo.tbl_MM_MediaPool MP
Join dbo.tbl_IM_ProtectedGroup PG on PG.ProtectedGroupId = MP.MediaPoolId
where PG.MediapoolId is NULL
and MP.PGSetId is not NULL

  • DPM 2012 R2 Crashes after upgrade - Tape Backup

    Hello guys,
    I have recently upgraded from DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 Rollup 3 on Windows 2012 R2 (in-place upgrade)
    The basic procedure was to backup the DB, uninstall DPM, install DPM 2012 R2, restore the DB.  re-sync all the inconsistent replicas and upgrade server agents. When it comes to the offsite tape backup for whatever reason every time the tape backup
    commences it fails instantly with the below error and reports "Backup to Tape Failed"
    "Event Log shows MSDPM Error ID 945"
    It appears to be failing due to a missing stored procedure 'dbo.prc_SMTE_ComputeDailyTrend'.  The stored procedure does not exist on other DPM servers.  I'm guessing this is something hanging around in the DB from prior to the upgrade but I can't
    seem to track it down.  Does anyone have any ideas upon how to resolve the issue?
    The description for Event ID 945 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:
    Unable to connect to the DPM database because of a general database failure.  Make sure that SQL Server is running and that it is configured correctly.

    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.

  • How to monitor Log Backups for MS SQL Server

    Hello all.
    We are running Solution Manager 7.1 on SP Stack 10 and have downloaded the latest template content.
    When configuring the templates for DB monitoring, we noticed that although there is a metric that monitors the age of the last DB backup, there is no such metric to monitor the age of the last successful Log backup, or even a metric to alert us on a failed backup / log backup.
    Has any of you ever had to create a custom metric to monitor either the age of the latest successful log backup for MS SQL Server, or a custom metric to alert on failed backups / log backups?
    If yes, could you provide some instructions on how to create such a metric?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Phevos

    Divyanshu, thank you for your answer.
    I had a similar idea to check the DB log file for failed log backups. The problem is that when I opened the log file from the dbacockpit, I found no errors/warnings for the days that our log backups did not run or failed. Here is a small part of that log to show you what I mean. In this example, the log backup was not running from 25th of July until the 28th of July when we fixed the log backups again, after receiving a disk space warning (log disk drive was almost full):
    The last successful log backup is mentioned in the log: "20140724091524    Backup    Log was backed up"
    Then as the days go by, there is no backup failure entries whatsoever to look for them in the log:
    20140725000023    spid18s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140725000023    spid18s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    20140726000020    spid21s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140726000020    spid21s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    20140727000023    spid22s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140727000023    spid22s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    20140728000022    spid17s    This instance of SQL Server has been using a process ID of 1304 since 5/27/2014 11:50:00 PM (local) 5/28/2014 6:50:00
    20140728000022    spid17s    AM (UTC). This is an informational message only; no user action is required.
    Until finally on the 28th we restored the log backup functionality:
    20140728042814    Backup    Log was backed up. Database: XXX, creation date(time): 2010/12/22(16:45:29)
    So, I find it difficult to deduce an appropriate string to look for in the log, in order to generate an alert when my log backups are not working.
    Any suggestions? Am I looking at the wrong place perhaps?

  • DPM 2012: MMC crashes when working with 2 particular protection groups

    I have a problem with 2 particular protection groups that will not allow me to perform a backup to tape on them.  When I try to, the MMC crashes with the following error logged in the application event log:
    The description for Event ID 999 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: 
    An unexpected error caused a failure for process 'mmc'.  Restart the DPM process 'mmc'.

    the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table
    As this appears to be a problem with just these protection groups (I am able to take tape backups of others without a problem) I decided I would try to remove the group, retain the data and re-create it.  When I right click on the group and attempt
    to stop protection of the group or modify the protection group, the MMC crashes with the same error above.
    One protection group is backing up and Exchange 2010 Archive Database, the other, Lync 2010 SQL Databases (and covers 2 different servers).
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get these protection groups behaving as they should and working again?
    DPM is 2012 RTM running on a Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise physical server.  The servers being protected are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Standard, the Exchange one is virtual (running on Hyper-V), Lync, one physical, one virtual (also running
    on Hyper-V).

    Hi 
    First of all verify that below services are running and also check which user account is uses for running the DPM and SQL services.
    DPM 
    DPM Replication Agent 
    SQLAgent$MS$DPM2007$ 
    MSSQL$MS$DPM2007$ 
    Virtual Disk Service 
    Volume Shadow Copy
    Thanks and Regards Deepak

  • 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.

  • DPM 2012 R2 Crashes after upgrade.

    I recently upgraded from DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 Rollup 2.  The basic process was to backup the DB, uninstall DPM, upgrade the OS from 2008 R2 to 2012. Reinstall DPM 2012 SP1, restore the DB making sure everything works and then upgrade to
    DPM 2012 R2.  I did this on my primary server first which originally seemed to work well and then followed up on my secondary server. For whatever reason I had trouble on the secondary and ended up installing DPM clean on a new os and that server is working
    perfectly. On my primary however I am getting the following error 1 time each day.
    Event Log shows MSDPM Error ID 945
    It appears to be failing due to a missing stored procedure 'dbo.prc_SMTE_ComputeDailyTrend'.  The stored procedure does not exist on either of my DPM servers.  I'm guessing this is something hanging around in the DB from prior to the upgrade but
    I can't seem to track it down.

  • 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.

  • Two DPM 2012 R2 Servers - one tape library split logically

    Hi
    We’re looking to purchase a new tape library with two LTO6 drives. 
    We wanted to share the library between the two DPM servers using the tape library sharing option, but to do this we’d need to attach the library via ISCSI as we don’t have a fibre channel SAN. Unfortunately the one I could find only has a 1 GB ISCSI
    Bridge which really isn’t enough to drive the two LTO6 drives that are inside it. 
    So, I’m looking into the idea of SAS attaching the library directly to both DPM servers then partitioning the library into two logical libraries so that each DPM server see’s the library independently. 
    Although the library supports this option, is this supported by DPM and has anyone got their library configured this way? 
    We’re looking at the HP MSL4048 range.
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    Yes, I can confirm that DPM can work with hardware partitioned libraries. The only problem I see is that each library will only have a single drive, so that means you can only have a single long term recovery goal.
    DPM does tape copies of daily tapes to make the weekly tape, and copies of the weekly tape to make the monthly tapes etc.  You should see a warning when you go throught the PG Wizard if you only have a single tape drive.
    When you go throught the PG Wizard for a PG that has two or more long-term recovery goals specified, and you only have a single tape drive, on the "Specifylibrary and tape details" page, you should see a yellow ! with "Please ensure that there are a minimum
    of two tape drives or two tape libraries for copy backups to succeed.

  • Steps and Docs - Automated Tape backup for LINUX OS

    Hi
    Currently we are using ARC7 tape (LTO) backup movement in which the product belong to firm CA for windows. We are not having the license to use it for the LINUX os.
    In one of our environment we are planning to set up automated tape backup movement for the LINUX OS. (Database Backups such as RMAN and export) It would be great if you suggest few links or procedural steps to use which tape backups , how to configure, which brand, documents, what all procedural steps etc.
    Thanks

    I suggest to look into Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) or Oracle Secure Backup Express. The later is free.

  • Recomended TAPE backup for OS X Sever

    Hi,
    I would like to inquire regarding back-up device for OS X Server, My client requirement is a TAPE backup, do you suggest any brand of tape backup and software that works well with OSX server?
    Thanks a lot,
    val

    You need to clarify your needs before you go much further.
    There are many tape technologies, including things like DLT, LTO and AIT (amongst others). Each has their own pros and cons, including per-tape capacity, speed, etc.
    Knowing the volume of data to backup and how frequently you want to backup is going to be critical in deciding what tape format to take.
    For example if you have 1TB of data to backup you don't want to use a tape format that has 20GB per tape - you'll need 50 tapes for a full backup.
    The volume of data and frequency also leads to speed. If you need to backup 1GB of data in an hour your options are dramatically different than if you need to backup 1TB of data in an hour. Some tape formats can keep up with the higher throughput, others can't.
    Then, of course, there's budget. The larger, faster drives tend to cost more, but they're more capable. But you don't need to buy capabilities that you don't need.
    So, you need to answer those questions in order to find the tape technology you want to use. Once you know the technology you can start looking at vendors.

  • Dpm 2012 email notification using a non-exchange smtp mail server

    Has anyone successfully been able to configure DPM 2012 to send email notifications to a standard SMTP mail server (NON-EXCHANGE)?

    Hi Happy,
    I try with IIS6 SMTP server with Anonymous Access.
    From DPM side, settings for "Authentificated SMTP Server: Username/password" :
    1- Leave blank =>ID 2013 : logon failure : unknow user name or bad password.
    2- DPMServerName\UserAccount => Works :)
    Network trace with Wireshark :
    1- Nothing => Most likely blocked by DPM console : Authentificated SMTP Server must be fill.
    2- See full SMTP connection, mail send.
    Could you do network trace to see what's happen ?

  • EBS 11i Disaster Recovery using tape backup on alternate Unix Server.

    Hi,
    I would really appreciate if you could please share with us what is the process to recovery EBS 11i environment to an alternate DR server using the latest tape backup in case any disaster happens to the existing production server.
    I need to prepare and test disaster recovery plan document using the latest tape backups.
    We have single node EBS 11i environment with Apps and DB installed on the same AIX Unix Server.
    We also have full database RMAN backup every night.
    The new alternate DR Unix server will have different hostname and IP address.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.

    Please refer to the following docs.

  • DPM is Only Allowing Express Full Backups For a Database Set to Full Recovery Model

    I have just transitioned my SQL backups from a server running SCDPM 2012 SP1 to a different server running 2012 R2.  All backups are working as expected except for one.  The database in question is supposed to be backuped up iwht a daily express
    full and hourly incremental schedule.  Although the database is set to full recovery model, the new DPM server says that recovery points will be created for that database based on the express full backup schedule.  I checked the logs on the old DPM
    server and the transaction log backups were working just fine up until I stopped protection the data source.  The SQL server is 2008 R2 SP2.  Other databases on the same server that are set to full recovery model are working just fine.  If we
    switch the recovery model of a database that isn't protected by DPM and then start the wizard to add it to the protection group it properly sees the difference when we flip the recovery model back and forth.  We also tried switching the recovery model
    on the failing database from full to simple and then back again, but to no avail.  Both the SQL server and the DPM server have been rebooted.  We have successfully set up transaction log backups in a SQL maintenance plan as a test, so we know the
    database is really using the full recovery model.
    Is there anything that someone knows about that can trigger a false positive for recovery model to backup type mismatches?

    I was having this same problem and appear to have found a solution.  I wanted hourly recovery points for all my SQL databases.  I was getting hourly for some but not for others.  The others were only getting a recovery point for the Full Express
    backup.  I noted that some of the databases were in simple recovery mode so I changed them to full recovery mode but that did not solve my problem.  I was still not getting the hourly recovery points.
    I found an article that seemed to indicate that SCDPM did not recognize any change in the recovery model once protection had started.  My database was in simple recovery mode when I added it (auto) to protection so even though I changed it to full recovery
    mode SCDPM continued to treat it as simple. 
    I tested this by 1) verify my db is set to full recovery, 2) back it up and restore it with a new name, 3) allow SCDPM to automatically add it to protection over night, 4) verify the next day I am getting hourly recovery points on the copy of the db. 
    It worked.  The original db was still only getting express full recovery points and the copy was getting hourly.  I suppose that if I don't want to restore a production db with an alternate name I will have to remove the db from protection, verify
    that it is set to full, and then add it back to protection.   I have not tested this yet.
    This is the article I read:

  • DPM 2012 uses the same tapes over and over

    Is there a way to let DPM use all the tapes in the library?
    At this moment we have 24 tapes in the library. But only 8 of them are used by different protection groups. 
    This way some tapes will get old very quick. I would like to see the tapes being randomly used and all would be used equally

    DPM do not reserve any Tapes for a particular Protectiongroup, here a short description how DPM chosse a Tape.
    DPM uses free Tapes bevor expired Tapes
    DPM uses Tapes in a Slot with a higher number first, so if there is a free Tape in Slot-12 and a free Tape in Slot-02, DPM will take the Tape from Slot-12 first
    Maybe this helps
