Problems with EMC Networker 9.2 and Hyper-V

Hello,

I am running EMC Networker 9.2 and am constantly having trouble when running Hyper-V backups.

My topology is as follows:

- storage node FC attached to DD, using DD Boost

- Hyper-V standalone cluster that I wish to back up to the SN above

Although the DD is accessible only over FC, all other Standalone Hyper-V servers have client direct and block based backups enabled.

When I try enabling Client Direct and block based backups for the my new Hyper-V server, I get the error below

Unable to perform backup for save-set ID '' with DIRECT_ACCESS=Yes, check device and pool configuration to enable Client direct


Filesystem backups run just fine with Client Direct disabled, but I am not able to make Hyper-V backups complete successfully with Client Direct enabled or disabled.

I am also certain that the policy is correctly configured and that there is end to end connectivity between client, SN and server.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Bogdan

Hi Bogdanionut.badea

Silly observation but, when selecting CLient DIrect, do you select interface FC or ANY or do you have it set to "IP"?

Thank you,

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Do you mean if I select DD Backup and whether I tick the FC backup or not ?

If so, no, I do not select DD Backup, nor do I tick FC. All other Hyper-V backups run fine without this.

Thanks,
