Hi everyone,
I'm new to SnapProtect/CommVault so this may sound like a strange question:
I'm trying to figure out how to consistently protect applications (SQL/Active Directory/Exchange) within virtual servers....
These are servers that have no RAW LUNs, just VMDKs.
For my vCenter server I've created a storage policy and SnapProtect correctly talks to DFM and creates an SnapVault backup.
But when I restore a VM there is no option to restore exchange databases, systemstate or everything else.
There is the option to install the commvault agents in the VM but that has no effect on the vCenter backup.
On the other hand I can't apply a new storage policy to the application agent because it recognizes that its not a NetApp disk (RAW LUN):
Error Code: [32:392] Description: Device passed in for operation is not a NetApp device OR the NetApp filer credentials haven't been entered OR the NetApp filer credential have been entered incorrectly.
Please check if the subclient content is on a NetApp volume/the NetApp filer credentials. : [[\\.\PhysicalDrive1] is not a NetApp device OR the NetApp filer credentials haven't been entered OR the NetApp filer credential have been entered incorrectly.
Please check the subclient content/NetApp filer credentials.] Source: ServerName, Process: VssSwProvider
Is it even possible to do an application aware VMware backup with SnapProtect?
Cheers,
René
