DPM 2012 SP1: Unable to connect to the DPM DB, because the DB is inconsistent state.

We are getting the following error when we try to recover from a specific server ( Recovery Tab | Domain | File Server )
Unable to connect to the DPM Database because the database is in an inconsistent state. (ID943)
=> There are no double entries for the specific server in the database. Verified by the following query:
select servername, domainname from dbo.tbl_AM_Server order by servername
=> DBCC Check DPMDB results in no errors.
=> Yesterday we used the following script to remove a ghost tape from our reports. The tape belongs to the PG where the File Server is member of.

Is there a relation between our error and the removal of the ghost tape? Any idea how to fix this?

Hi,
I have not heard of that script causing any problems in the past, so may or may not be related. What are the details of the msdpm service crash found in the msdpmcurr.errlog after the error ?

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.

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.

Connection dropped between DPM and Agent during consistency check, following DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2

Recently I have updated a DPM 2012 SP1 standalone server to DPM 2012 R2. That it’s self was a challenge... Following the upgrade most of the protection groups required consistency checks. For some time I have been having problems performing these consistency
checks on remote servers over a 10Meg link.
On the DPM server I would kick off a ping to the remote host, then start a consistency check. Within a few seconds I would start to get dropped pings, and very large ping response times, 3000ms plus. Within 3 minutes the pings would time out completely and
no connections can be made to the remote server, RDP etc. However any other server on the network can connect to the remote client. Eventually the DPM jobs times out and sometime later the pings also return.
The resolution to this has taken some digging but this is what I have found. The DPM agent update does not seem to fully work and requires a reinstall. Here is my process:
Logon to remote client server
Install .net 4 (a raw install of the client requires this, may not be needed when done via DPM)
Via Add Remove Programs, remove DPM agent
Clean up Reg
Delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager"
Delete "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPM**" (However this key is not there for me)
Back onto DPM Server
Modified protection groups as required to remove all instances of the client server
Remove Agent for client server
Install agent via DPM (watch for the glitch right at the end where it does a failed, then succeed…)
REBOOT client server
Add back into protection group
Consistency check kicked off automatically
This seems to have fixed the issue.

Hi,
The prerequisite required for DPM 2012 SP1 that must be installed is a re-rerelease of UR3 which is 4.1.3317.0 - please download and install the update specified.

An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)) After DPM 2012 SP1 to R2 Upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded DPM 2012 SP1 to DPM 2012 R2 and OS is Windows 2012 standard.
Now in File Protection Group, we receive error
"An unexpected error occurred while the job was running. (ID 104 Details: The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057))".
This happens to only one Drive(X: Drive) of the PG server, other drive(Z: Drive) backup is working fine.
We tried,
Deleted entire protection group and recreated ,
Ran consistency job 2 to 3 times.
Ran Synchronize with consistency check.
But every time It failed. Before upgrade it was working fine.
Thanks

Hi
I would suggest opening a new case with MS to allow the DPM team to further look into the issue. Also the DPM 2012 R2 RollUp which addresses the (0x80070057)
issue is Rollup 1 and the private will not be needed after applying Rollup 1. The Roll up is found here

Exception Message=Unable to connect to the VMM database because the database is in an inconsistent state.

Hello,
I have a problem with SCVMM 2012 R2, it always gives error when tries to "Run the dynamic optimizer" process. The process starts automatically every 30mins. When I analyzed report.txt file I found error message:Exception Message=Unable
to connect to the VMM database because the database is in an inconsistent state.Contact an experienced SQL administrator whenever this error occurs. In some cases, it may be necessary to restore the VMM database. If the problem persists, contact
Microsoft Help and Support.
NOTE: If I start the process manually, it completes without any errors.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm led to believe this is a bug in UR5 and I think it was a bug in VMM 2012 SP1 RTM.
Our TAM says this will be fixed in UR6. We had to turn off Dynamic optimizer or we could have rolled back to UR4 but there were other bugs in UR4 which hurt us more.

Backup DPM 2012 SP1 from Recovery console

Hi
I have a problem. I have a server with Windows Server 2008 R2 and DPM 2012 SP1. Because of a recent RAID controler crash i am unable to fix this server to boot to windows. I can only get into recovery console. I see the volumes normaly! So here is a million
dolar question. How can i backup DPM databases from recovery console so that i can make a full restore when i freshly install new windows and DPM?
Thanks for all your help in advance.
Boštjan

Hi,
only Thing you need ist MDF and LDF files from DPMDB.
Try to copy These two files.
Install your new Serve with same Name and same DPM version
Restore DB with SQL Management Studio and overwrite the new and existing one
present DPM Backupstorage to the new server
Run dpmsync -sync

DPM 2012 SP1 4.1.3426.0 - CRASHES WHEN TRYING TO OPEN JOBS FILTERS

I have 2 DPM 2012 SP1 servers and both are behaving the same. They were working fine earlier this week and suddenly MMC crashes when I try to open any Job filter. Everything else appears to be working fine except when I try to view any of the
default Job filters or custom filters I created such as All Jobs or All Jobs in Progress.

MMC crashes when attempting modification of a protection group in DPM 2012 SP1 RU3

Hi All,
I've got a problem with my DPM 2012 SP1 server for a few weeks now. It's backing up and restoring fine, but when I attempt to modify any protection group, the MMC crashes. This happens even before the modify protection group dialog is displayed, just a few
seconds after clicking 'modify' with the protection group selected.
it was running DPM 2012 SP1 RU1, is now running RU3, this update did not make the difference I was hoping for. Also installation of the DPM console on a remote management server results in the exact same problem.
Below is the error message. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem and solved it?
Thanks,
Jacob

I had the same problem with Sharepoint backups, there was a problem with the protection group so i removed it and added it back. since then no issues.

"Unable to connect to iTunes Store" 90% of the time

I have a 3rd Gen iPad with wifi only that I bought about 40 days ago. Initially I had no problem downloading and updating apps but in the past few weeks I get "unable to connect to iTunes Store" over 90% of the time. I always verfity the Internet connection is good and I've tried on my home wifi, my cellphone's mobile hotspot, and several hotel wifi connections. The other day I went into settings and noticed the Security code for my Credit Card was blank so I filled it in and clicked "done". Unable to connect so I checked back and the code was still blank. I deleted and redid my CC info and messed with some other settings and iTunes finally let me update some apps. Now I'm back home and it's giving me the error message again. I'm wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a fix for it.

Usually it's because you are not connecting to the internet via wifi.

Installing DPM 2012 SP1 onto Server 2012 R2 (Compatible / Supported)?

Hi,
Can DPM 2012 SP1 be installed onto Server 2012 R2? i.e. is it compatible and also is it supported by Microsoft?
If so are there any official documents or links provided by Microsoft for this installation scenario?
I would have installed DPM 2012 R2 onto Server 2012 R2 but this is not possible due to DPM 2012 R2 not supporting Server 2008 protected servers!
Thanks,
Microsoft Partner

DPM 2012 SP1 - Single Data Source Written to Multiple Tape Drives

Just a question, really...
I know that DPM can write to multiple drives for a single protection group with more than one data source.
However, is it possible for DPM 2012 SP1 (or R2) to write to multiple drives from a single data source from a single protection group?
So if I have "DataSource A" in "MyProtectionGroup" and I allocate 2 tape drives to the PG, could DPM use both drives to backup the PG?
I assume the answer is "no," but I just wanted to double check. Thanks.

Hi,
What you are wanting is a feature called striping and DPM does not have that advanced feature.
