Timeout for backup initialization detection can be modified to accommodate the timing issue. Please refer to the RMExch config command for more information.
Problem:
NetBackup takes a substantial amount of time to complete a backup process.
Suggestion:
Make sure you have the latest maintenance package installed for your NetBackup application. For more information, see the latest HP 3PAR InForm OS Configuration Matrix. To obtain a copy of this documentation, go to http://www.hp.com/go/3par/, navigate to your product page, click Support for your product, and then click Manuals.
Problem:
RMExch cannot connect to the specified server.
Suggestion:
Make sure the Recovery Manager for Exchange Agent service is started and that the port settings on all Recovery Manager installed systems are the same. If you changed the port setting, you need to restart the Recovery Manager for Exchange Agent service before running any commands.
Problem:
RMExch create is not creating a virtual copy.
Suggestion:
Check to see if you have reached the maximum number of virtual copies allowed by your policy for this Exchange server. Also check whether the oldest virtual copy is mounted, as this will not allow a create if the maximum number of virtual copies has been reached.
Problem:
The mounted virtual copies always show up as
Suggestion:
Make sure the Virtual Disk Service is not disabled on your system. If this service is disabled, Recovery Manager will not be able to make the virtual copy writable.
Problem:
Recovery Manager fails to create a virtual copy for a storage group on the HP 3PAR volume, which is also a system drive.
Suggestion:
Performing a snapshot of a storage group on the system volume is currently not supported by Recovery Manager for Exchange.
Problem:
Recovery Manger shows the Error - VSS Asynchronous operation failed. It is recommended that you wait 10 minutes and then try the operation again message when the create command is executed.
Suggestion:
When you encounter this error message, run the vssadmin list writers command to list all of the available writers on the system that are taking the snapshot of the Exchange storage group. Make sure the Microsoft Exchange Writer status is stable. If the status is other than stable, you need to restart the Exchange server service to reset the writer status.
Problem:
Recovery Manager shows the ERROR: Failed - Virtual Copy creation failed for storage group <StorageGroup> message after an unexpected termination of the virtual copy create process.
Suggestion:
When Recovery Manager unexpectedly terminates, an internal locking file might still exist on your Exchange server system. You need to remove the locking file manually for the create process to run through. The locking file can be located under: <InstallationPath>\Exchange\vclock. Use the RMExch reset command to reset the lock.
