SLES 11 SP3 - VSS Problem

Question

Hi all,
I've just installed a fresh SLES 11 SP3 vm. Once rebooted, i noticed this error in hyper-v log:
- Hyper-V Volume Shadow Copy Requestor failed to connecto to virtual machine "nameofvm" because the version does not match the version expected by hyper-v (virtual machine ID xyz..) Framework version: Negotiated (0.0) Expected (3.0)  Message
version: Negotiated (0.0) Expected (4.0) To fix this problem you must upgrate the integration services. To upgrade connect to the virtual machine and select insert ....
Now, obviously the installer disc doesn't work and all integration services are embedded in the linux OS. I'm concerning about two major factor: first, how can this problem impact the system once in production? And how can i address (or disable) this integration
service? 
Thank you all

Hi Miralem, I believe there may be one other way to install updates. When you are installing SLES 11 SP3 for the first time, the installation manager GUI asks you if it should apply the updates. You might want to see if that works for you by creating
a new VM and closely monitoring the installation manager program.
If the VM is not going offline while taking the snapshot then this may be a false error. However, if the VM is going offline then probably the snapshot infrastructure is having some issues. Please let me know if you see that the VM is going offline while
taking the snapshot.
Also notice that backup for Linux VMs is only file-system consistent and it is not application consistent. This implies that db snapshots may not have the same level of application data consistency that you have come to expect through use of VSS on Windows.
This is because Linux does not have VSS style infrastructure to coordinate with user mode while a snapshot or a backup operation is in progress.
Please keep me posted on your progress.
Thanks,
Abhishek
