Cannot suspend 500 GB partition on SAN for backup

I'm under Vsphere ESX 4.0 Update 1 backup on a Windows 2003 server using Symantec Backup Exec 12.5  This 2003 server, I have a 750 GB partition on the SAN, which is used as Proxy VCB.  I'm under seven virtual servers Windows 2008 R2 and a Windows 2000 Server.  All the virtual hosts have second partitions that are mapped to the raw LUN.

Can I save all the virtual hosts except a Windows 2008 R2 host.  This host has a 500 GB (488 GB formatted) LUN on the SAN.  All other hosts are less 200 GB on the SAN LUN.    I checked that the VCB Proxy Server sees the 488 GB LUN.  The Backup Exec job fails with the following error:

V-79-57344-38220 - Virtual PC "FS3" backup failed. VMware VCB framework reported the following error

Error: another error occurred: failed to create snapshot: could not suspend a file system.

If I remove the LUN from the host Windows 2008 R2, the backup operation is complete.  If I add the LUN to return in, it fails again.  The virtual host is not yet in production, and the partition on the LUN is always a 488 GB vacuum.  So far, nothing is installed on this host except VMware Tools.

The problem seems to be that the backup process cannot suspend this large LUN.

Do I need a prior custom freeze and thaw the scripts?  If so, which should contain it?   Is there anything else I should look at to get this partiion to back up?

So the problem is this file delta for the snapshot can grow up to the size of the original, in your case 500 GB disk, but the 1 MB block gives the maximum of 256 GB file size. To prevent such a situation ESX fails to create the snapshot.

You need 2 MB block, at least on the data store with the virtual machine files, so it would allow you to create files up to 512 GB

  • Windows 7 backup skipped image system because one of the critical-volumes backup cannot be included for backup. Make sure the volume is online and is formatted NTFS. (0 x 81000032)

    After using the backup of Windows 7, I get the following error message:

    Backup Windows jumped backup system image because one of the critical volumes cannot be included for backup. Make sure the volume is online and is formatted NTFS. (0 x 81000032)

    The backup is set to include an image of disk system: RECOVERY, DRIVE (d), OS (c :))

    "RECOVERY, DRIVE (d :))" in car is a partition of 2 GB of the hard drive internal, such as configured by Dell, and it is formatted in FAT32.  I tried to reformat the NTFS volume, but were unsuccessful.  I also looked at a certain way to omit this volume, but have still been in vain.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you.

  • Win 7 Pro, FX6100, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB ssd; cannot find the system partition

    Basics are there.  It blocks from the tent to set up partitions.  I am giving all of the 250 GB SSD to use as seems it and it is just lost.  It does work with no partitions, partition of the entire disk.  He didn't tell me what he wants.  And error messages make no sense.

    They are like: (and my response)

    cannot find the system partition (do a stupid)
    Can not find the installation partition (crikey, I gave you the entire disk, make one)

    Talk about mega-frustration.  How about a useful error message and some useful ways to respond.

    >:-((

    If the ssd is not recognized in the first part of the installation process, as a location to install win on, you need to check the manual of the card mother about all the necessary bios for its port settings, or weather, you need to install any third-party disk controller.

    And if it's a new ssd, must not contain any partition table, unless you have prepared this ssd when you started in one of your other installations win, that can be part of your problem.

  • ESXi 4.0 Dell T105 "cannot find the boot partition.

    Dban Nuke used to wipe my hard drives (two of them).

    Unplugged the secondary hard drive.

    Installed ESXi 4.0 (declared success).

    Machine starts, starts in ESXi 4.0, starts to load, then:

    "Cannot find the boot partition.

    Others have suggested to set parameter SATA AHCI controller. Not possible in my BIOS. I 'ATA Mode' and 'Off '. "Off" turns off the entire controller and my hard drive is not recognized.

    Others still suggested to install on a USB key. Wary of such a hack...

    Help, please. There is very little out there on ESXi 4. Even a pointer to VMware documentation with a list of error messages and their meaning/solutions would be helpful (unable to find such a list myself).

    I had the same problem that others are with the start-up for the drives. I went with the USB boot and it works very well because it has an internal USB port, it works even better because I'm not burn an external port. I use an older version of BIOS that does not start USB ports have enough fast for the key USB is recognized from a cold start *bummer* but not a big deal. Once this is done, I'm off the coast and run very well.

    I would recommend going this way until someone comes up with a better alternative, which I would be interested in doing.

  • Satellite A100-683: 251 MB partition found - whats for?

    Hello

    I just got a laptop Satellite A100-683.
    It has 3 partitions, but the 3rd (at the end of the hard drive) is not visible in my computer.
    In fact, Windows does not recognize its file system. The only thing that windows can say is that it is 251 MB in size and it is completely empty.

    No idea what the of which partition is there since the only thing I can do with it is delete?

    With respect,

    Bart Grefte

    Hello

    This partition is created for Express media player installation. This reader can be used without booting the operating system. Because of this, it must be preinstalled on a partition unallocated.

    All that s!

    By the way: If one day want to install your own operating system, to ensure that the EMP is preinstalled in a first time (you shipped recovery EMP media).

  • Cannot display the trust policy custom created for attestation the attestation procedure level

    Cannot display the trust policy custom created for attestation the attestation procedure level

    Find the file updated for more information.

    Hi Pradeep and Fatih,

    This is no bug. I can only imagine without detailed information about the procedure of custom clearance and approval workflow custom.

    But each attestation procedure has an assigned table that defines what data will be documented, for example UNSAccountInUNSGroup. An Identity Manager can only assign strategies of the attestation procedure where each step of the approval workflow contains an approval procedure where the picture of the Attestation procedure is in the list of assigned to this approval process approval. (See screenshot) Verify that approval in your approval workflow steps are aligned to this requirement.
