VCB Backup

[arjanhs]

We are trying to setup VCB in conjunction with Veritas Netbackup (version 6.0mp4), while trying to mount a VM with the following command, the understanding output is generated:

D:\VMware\VCB>vcbMounter.exe -h server1 -u root -p root -a ipaddr:server2 -r e:\backup\server2_fullvm -t fullvm -m san

I have checked the server twice for having just one path to the SAN and that they are not used in the Disk Manager of MS, how can I solve this problem?

Are the LUNs presented with the same numbers to the ESX hosts and VCB host?

i.e. ESX with VMFSA on LUN1 must be LUN1 on the VCB host.

Yes they are, all LUNs are present at the ESX host and the VCB proxy host.

Haven't find out how checking if the LUN ids are the same.

Now I’m able to do a Mount with the vcbMount command, so I think the framework is working, I’m trying now to integrate the framework in NetBackup.

When running the commands from the command line, I’m stuck on the command.wsf script, pre-command.bat calls the script, so I tried the following on the command line:

cscript command.wsf -pre d:\VMware\VCB VMware-VCB-Test

I’m in the working directory of the command.wsf file, I’m trying to do a pre, the dir where the framework is installed is given, and the configured policy name in netbackup is named.

The results are nothing, I’m getting no error message or anything else, how can I troubleshoot this problem, so I’m able to solve this problem.
