How to look up SSID of VCB FULL image

Hi,

I am using NetWorker 7.4.4, VCB Framework 1.5 and VMWare integrated module for ESX 3.5 Update 2.

When I was using NetWorker 7.3.4 VCB Full image was visible via NetworkerUser on backup proxy, but after I upgraded NW to 7.4.4 it became invisible.

I found this is by design. My question is how I can find SSID tied to target VM?
I am making full backup of many VM at same time (usually 10 VMs) hence I cannot specify one VM I want to restore.

For example, if I backup 10 VMs at same time as below how can I specify SSID of server03.example.com ?

VM:server01.example.com:*FULL*
VM:server02.example.com:*FULL*
VM:server03.example.com:*FULL*
|
VM:server10.example.com:*FULL*

Thanks,
Yoshi

Hi,

just use mminfo to look for your SSID.

example:
mminfo -q'name=VM:server03.example.com:*FULL*' -v

Hi,

I executed mminfo but it shows 'FULLVM' only. VCB has been wrongly configured?

D:> mminfo -q client=proxy -v
volume client date time size ssid fl lvl name
000004L3 proxy.backup.com 3/2/2009 8:16:11 PM 25 GB 3366699003 tr full FULLVM
000004L3 proxy.backup.com 3/3/2009 5:12:27 AM 251 GB 2980855211 cr full FULLVM
000004L3 proxy.backup.com 3/3/2009 1:44:18 PM 53 GB 1370273187 hr full FULLVM
000004L3 proxy.backup.com 3/3/2009 3:06:09 PM 33 GB 1185728721 hr full FULLVM
000004L3 proxy.backup.com 3/3/2009 3:29:30 PM 26 GB 1168952906 hr full FULLVM

So I think that could be a problem with 7.4.4. We are using 7.2.2 Server with ESX 3.5 and all is fine. I think you have to open a SR. Perhaps EMC could tell you why the name field is changed.

Do you use VCB proxy client ressource with all VMs in its saveset?

But when you use 7.4.4 then you could generate for every VM its own client ressource. Could this be a solution?

FULLVM should be saved under its own name. It sounds as if you are mixing old VCB approach with new one. Do you have client resource created for those?

Yes, I was using old VCB method I implemented new one.
But as far as I checked, image export phase successfully finishes but when it transits to save phase VCB fails.
Do you have any idea what is wrong?

You would need to post a log to get an idea of what is going now.

Hi,

I found the below logs only in 'messages' on the backup server. (This is not helpful...)

Go to your VCB proxy and inside Windows\Temp you might find more logs.

Thank you, but there is no logs in windows\temp directory on proxy.
(vmware-vmount.log doesn't contain any helpful log. the last message was logged two weeks before.)

Strange that vmount doesn't have anything. Did you try to run this manually? (not using NW)
