Ive got the basic version of VDP running at three sites (Vsphere 5.5, VMware vCenter Server 5.5.0b, VCB 5.5). Without fail, after a moth or two, its quits running. Vsphere then gives four or more warnings like this:
- The ESX Host License does not permit usage of VDP and the 60 day evaluation period has ended.
- Start Core services using the vSphere Data Protection Configuration Utility.
- Start Backup Scheduler using the vSphere Data Protection Configuration Utility.
- From the Configuration tab of the vSphere Data Protection user interface, click the All Actions icon and select 'Run integrity check'.
If I open the vdp-configure window, I have to manually start: core services, maintenance services, backup scheduler. Once I restart those services, it runs for a while. Then I reboot and nothing restarts unless I manually restart (the errors above pop up). In frustration, each time, I've just removed the install of VCB and made a new one.
Help!
Thanks!
