VCB proxy ! strange issues

Hi Guys,

I need your quick and helpful response for following problem. I have a

customer and I am in process to deploying the VCB proxy services on a physical

for backing up the Virtual Machine.

The VCB proxy services installed on Physical server which have around

90 GB of free space on C: Drive (Local storage) and have installed two Emulex

HBA of single port. The VMFS volume that I have mapped to ESX

server and VCB proxy machine has only one Virtual machine running on it.

I am able to see the SAN LUN (VMFS

Volume) in disk management as unallocated space.   The power path

Software installed as MPIO in the machine and I am able to see the LUN in disk

management using only one PATH.

After all of the configuration I am able to get the result of

VCBVMNAME.exe command and also able to create the snapshot for a VM from the

command prompt of the VCB machine.

The problem comes when I try to run the VCBMOUNTER command for a VM, it runs

normally but when it try to export the .vmdk file, it gives following error

warning, I am not worry regarding the warning of SSL but it fails the

vcbmounter result.

"-m ndb" to switch to network based disk access if this is what you
want.) If you were attempting file-level access, stop the vmount Service by
typing "net stop vmount2" on a command prompt to force vmount to
re-scan for SAN LUNs and re-try the command.

I have also run vcbsandiagnostic command and the result you can find in
the attached text file.
The Another strange problem that I have face during this exercise I
try to move the VM from one VMFS volume to another VMFS and the VMOTION result
was fail, and all of the VM folder and configuration files was removed
from source VMFS and also not copied on destination volume and the VM was not
able to power up again.
This behavior is so strange can any one help me to find out the
causes of this issue.
For Setup information I am using ESX server
3.5u2, Virtual Center
server is 2.5 and VCB is 1.5.
I would appreciate if you ignore the language mistakes.....Many Thanks in
advance
Regards,
Xzearik
