I have crate Backup Job in vSphere Data Protection
1 VM ... Server 2008 R2 ... 1 thin virtual Disk 40GB ... the Backup Job fails with Error message ->
E10055:failed to attach disk
Anybody same Problem or Idea ?
I found the settings only in the Powered down VMs running Win2008R2.
Can this be done on Power Up VMs and only reboot later ? it is impossible to predict when I will be able to shutdown some of the servers....
Thanks...darn.....Back to using non VDP then....
I mean..
You can set the parameter by editing the vmx file on a powered ON VM but the setting will take effect only after a reboot
Hmmmm...thats sounds like a probably idea...
I'll go read up on how to edit vmx file...
thanks
It should also become effective after migrating a VM to a different host, because it will unregister and then register the vmx on the new host.
This way you should be able to the change without a reboot.
Well, the Windows 2008 R2 "failed to attach disk" problem seems to be finally fixed in VDP 5.1.10 according to KB 2035736. Quickly tested in our lab and backups no longer fail. Hopefully they are also VSS application-consistent 😉 Thank you, VMware.
Do we need to change the parameter back to true in the config-file to get proper backups?
