Hi guys,
I'm having some problems with VDR.
There I explain my situation:
16 x vm to backup
4 x VDR
8 x 500 GB disks mounted as Network Share
Each VDR backups 4 vm and has 2 disks.
There are vm that we want to backup every day and there are vm that we want to backup 1 time a week.
First of all, there seems a good configuration?
The problem I'm having about continuos errors of Integrity Check and some backup that fails.
The error codes I get are:
1-> 3942 (delete Snapshot failed)
2-> 2241 (destination index invalid / damaged)
3-> a popup window "The integrity check failed because there was a problem with the destination"
Errors 3942 and 2241 looking at the community and other sites, I found that I had to find *.lck files in the VDR (find / -name *.lck) and delete what was found. (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1018060)
Or after stopped the 'datarecovery" service (service datarecovery stop), delete file
/<...>/VMwareDataRecovery/BackupStore.cat
/<...>/VMwareDataRecovery/BackupStopr.cat.bak
and restart the service ((http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1015901)
I've tried to do a manual snapshot of a vm in error and is working properly. If I try to delete the manual snapshot, I get the error "Unable to acces file <unspecified filename> since is locked".
In conclusion, errors spawns again and I have at least 1 error for each VDR, that means 1 vm in error on each VDR.
Right now, from Browse Datastore of a vm in error, inside its folder, I have found some folders called
<VMname>-Snapshot99.vmem.lck
If I try to delete one of these folders I get the message
"Cannot delete file [P2000] <vmname>/<vmname>-Snapshot99.vmem.lck" but in the end the folder is gone....
Please help me...
p.s.: If you need more details, just ask
I'm using VDR 1.2.1
