SRM 5.5 - vSphere replication - error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine. A snapshot operation cannot be performed

Hi all, we have just run a test DR failover of a couple of virtual machines in our protected our failover site and all site swung perfectly, two virtual machines came online and all applications work well. However when we cam to r-eprotect machines virtual, we get some errors.

One of the virtual machines seems to have lived the reprotect end process, it is still running, but has not moved to 89% for some time. The virtual machine has a couple of grand (a little less than 2 TB) VMDK. slow progress is just a consequence of the large VMDK?

More worrisome is the virtual machine which don't reprotect at all. It generates an error whenever I click on the "Restore" button (error: impossible to reverse the replication for the Virtual Machine.) A snapshot operation can not be performed).


Does anyone have any ideas as to the cause?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Finally got to the bottom of this. The issue was that reprotect SRM work was trying to dispel any snapshots that were taken on the computer object virtual destination in VMWare, but could not clean snapshots.

The reason why snapshots would not consolidate was because it was snapshots of temporary VEEAM who in fact any snapshot file listed in the VSAN data store. So when we looked through the browser data store, no snapshot file existed in the virtual computers folder. Trying a manual removal also failed.

To fix this, we created a snapshot of the virtual machine in the original data center (note is the engine to the bottom of the virtual machine), this effect was to get rid of the 'fade' snapshot that was visible in the Snapshot Manager that VEEAM backup had left behind. Once this had disappeared, the reprotect back to DCA worked perfectly.

    Hello

    This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
    For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?

  • Impossible to deploy the virtual machine with customization.

    Hi all

    I have a model Winodws 2008 R2 Std and Ent.  I use to deploy virtual machines with the model using the Customization Wizard.  All of a sudden since 2 days I can't provision VMS with the wizard of customiation.  Earlier, there seems to be no problem with the customization, but when I turn on the virtual machine, I see errors, attached is the screen shot for your reference.

  • The mouse is confused - almost impossible to use the virtual machine more...

    Hello

    I use a number of VMWare (6.0.7 build-2844087) sessions player on my i7 quad core Windows 8.1 system for separate processes.  I don't do anything in my main boot environment is nice and clean.  I have a player for web browsing, one for email and a few others (game, video editing, etc.).  This separation gives me an easy backup/restore option for any computer virtual as well as prevention 1 VMS are attacked/infected/hacked/etc most I can lose, it is what is in this virtual machine.

    Something broke all of a sudden.  I don't know if it was the last update for VMware tools or some change made by windows update or maybe even a setting that I did.

    But now, my mouse is very confused.  If you look at the picture, you can see 2 pointers.  The bottom is my VM. The top appears with the VMWare container think that the mouse should be there. And the relationship between the 2 pointers constantly changes.  So I can select something in the virtual machine, but the tank of the virtual machine can think the mouse is on the VM bar and when I click the virtual computer closes, presentation of the changes of the screen, minimize, etc..

    badmouse.jpg

    I did some research.  All of my text is set to the smallest size (the most common fix I found.)  I have re-installed VMWare tools.  I tried to change the mouse settings in my VM and the primary host environment.

    It's to the point where I can't click without 1st checking the top of the window on my main screen or risk losing work, etc..

    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    Thank you

    If anyone is interested in distance, I finally solved the problem.  My guess is that I could have reinstalled the main operating system.  Instead, I've upgraded to 10 Windows and then installed Player 7.1.2.  On the plus side, no more problems with 2 pointers mouse with one randomly showing where and when he wanted.

    On the negative, I always have to press Ctrl-Alt to get to the VMWare bar at the top of the window.  But it is a small price to pay for now to be productive again.

    FWIW, my guess is that upgrading to 7.1.2 is really what makes the difference.

  • Impossible to share the virtual machine

    Today, I made some changes to my server running VMWare workstation. It was a domain controller and I have dropped out of the field in a working group and removed the dns and the roles of the AD.

    Then I upgraded my version of VMWare Workstation from 9 to 11. However once the installation is complete, I open the app and I can access is no longer shared virtual computer. When I click on the shared link of the vm I get a prompt for the name of user and password and even if I try the local Admin account it wont let me connect.

    Suggestions?

    The problem was in fact. When I uninstalled a file still had to C:\ProgramData\VMWare. This folder has been set to have shared my old domain/Domain Admins access to the VM. I uninstalled, deleted this folder that has been left behind and reinstalled.

  • Storage vMotion - impossible to move the virtual machine

    All,

    I have recently upgraded to version 4.1 ESXi 4.1 U3 of VC2.5 ESX 3 vCenter Essentials - I decided to make my new vCenter server a VM - everything went well on the upgrade so I am now looking to do work on my storage system (EMC Celerra). I have virtually no space on my LUN and my CIFS shares are increasingly full also... However I have a file inside the EMC system which is 6 to size which houses a 200 GB LUN - it's the logic unit number that contains my VM vCenter. What I want to do is... move this vCenter VM off this LUN to local storage, reassign 6 TB to the pool file system and extend the 3 TB CIFS file system and then present the rest of the space as LUNS for VMware. My problem is that I'm not licensed for storage vMotion and they only way I can storage vMotion, VM off the coast of this LUN is to stop it and move it but because it's my vCenter Server I can perform this action by the customer.

    I guess I might need to drill holes in the host using putty to move the vmdk file, but I'm looking for any useful measure to enable me to move this virtual machine.

    Thank you

    If you are not allowed to Storage vMotion, then you can watch using VMware Converter and do a V2V.  Once the VM vCenter has been "copied" in the new destination LUN, it works, make sure that everything is right, then delete the 'old' vCenter VM disk.

  • Getting error: could not open the Virtual Machine: failed to query the Source for more information

  • Error occurred by restarting the virtual machine after instant collection

    Configuration:

    2 X ESX 3.5 U3 in cluster (Enterprise license) + Virtual Center 2.5 update 3

    18 customers running Win2k3 servers and Oracle on RHEL 3 servers

    2 X SAN DELL MD3000i with two controllers (active / active).

    Question: Last night, when the backup of VCB, we lost the SAN n ° 1 completely (two controllers at the same time).

    We have a few customers with Microsoft Raid 1 (1 on San 1 and 1 drive on San 2).  guests in mirror mode survived 40 minutes after the San n ° 1 crashed.

    After checking saves files I found that: ESX shutdowned guests due to a problem with the snapshot.

    I feel really bad this morning... because I told my boss we're safe if we lose 1 SAN because we are mirrored on 2 SAN.

    Why stop ESX invited after problems with snapshots. Also, we received a lot of Virtual Center with false alert alarms (virtual machine does not).

    ESX filled 800 megs of log files in a few minutes with the same message (path fails, try another a blabla).

    What the purpose of putting my guests in mirror mode stop ESX if my guests after losing the path during backup?

    Hello

    Conclusion?

    If SAN #1 accident during the VCB backup, you're dead?

    If you use software raid within the virtual machine is then SAN1 dies, the VM will crash because the Bank of support file (this case a delta) is no longer available and there is no way to read or write data even.

    Software RAID does not apply to things outside of the virtual machine. A solution would be to have a device that can do Raid through mirroring without.

  • Can I use vSphere replication for VMs on a logical unit number that is doing table replication to DR site

    Hi guys, could not find the answer on any Docs/KBs. With the implementation of normal SRM, I know you can use a mixture of the two, while a virtual machine is not protected by the table and vR.

    I need to make a site of NEW Dr. C while maintaining the current Bay of NETAPP on protection SRM of Site B.

    Will this be an approach to support? Step 0 is required?

    0 > get my guys to storage to stop replication on LUN - XYZ table (IF ANY) on

    1 > delete virtual machines on LUN XYZ of SRM existing Protection groups.

    2 > use vSphere replication to replicate the VMs who live on the LUN - XYZ

    3 > repeat the process until all LUNS have been treated like that.

    It should work without problem. I would recommend just a change in order to:

    1 (also remove the logic of the PG unit number), 0, 2, 3

    If you want to leave the computer on the same LUN virtual then step 0 is not necessary, but recommended (see below). If want to let the replication logic unit number and can just svmotion the VM, which would work as well.

    From a data protection perspective, as long as you understand the potential complications, I recommend you actually starting with step 2. Technically, you don't want to not have the same virtual machine reproduced several times, in this case since you are in transition, and if you understand that retrieve the VM using a method will break the other, and you can not the virtual machine protection with the two (VR & ABR) in SRM, you should be ok.

    Hope it makes sense. If this is not the case, let me know.
