This topic summarizes some of the common support information you might need when deploying and maintaining System Center - Data Protection Manager. As a standalone physical server - DPM can't be deployed in a physical cluster, but you can manage multiple DPM servers from a single location using Central Console in Operations Manager.

As an on-premises virtual machine - You can deploy DPM as a Hyper-V virtual machine as a single server or virtual machine cluster. You install DPM in the same way as a physical installation. There are a number of restrictions in this deployment.

For detailed information, see the row DPM as an Azure virtual machine in the Setup prerequisites table. Workaround : None. Workaround : Install on bit only. Issue : Moving the DPM server to a different domain after deployment isn't supported. Workaround : If you want to install the DPM protection agent on other computers in order to protect them, don't install DPM on a domain controller.

Moving protected servers between DPM servers that are under secondary protection isn't supported. To illustrate this we have the following:. Note that in this scenario you can't add secondary protection for Server1 on another DPM server when you're using switched protection mode. This allows DPM to resume primary protection. Workaround : Virtual tape libraries configured with a virtual fibre channel adapter are only supported if you're running Data Protection Manager R2 UR3 or later with certified hardware.

To check if your tape library is supported by the virtual fibre channel adapter, please contact your tape hardware vendor and ask them to Verify tape library compatibility. This isn't supported due to a limitation with Windows dynamic disks. Protecting other workloads hosted on CSVs isn't supported. Workaround : Do not enable the BitLocker before adding the disk to storage pool. Paolo Maffezzoli posted an update 6 hours, 11 minutes ago. I solved my problem by enabling secure boot on the host.

I wish Microsoft came up with a clearer error message for such a trivial config issue. Leos Marek posted an update 19 hours, 27 minutes ago. Leos Marek posted an update 19 hours, 28 minutes ago. Please ask IT administration questions in the forums.

Follow 4sysops. Some of the databases which are components of the Windows SharePoint Services farm have already been selected for protection. If you want to protect this Windows SharePoint Services data, then you have to remove the databases from protection. Either use the DPM storage pool disks for protection or create volumes that are adequately sized. Select Review Pending Members for a protection group, and allocate disk space for protection.

Eseutil consistency check cannot be performed for this protection group, because Eseutil. Copy the Ese. You can also choose not to run an Eseutil consistency check for this protection group by clearing the Run Eseutil Consistency check option.

However, we do not recommend this because it does not make sure of the recoverability of the protected data. Select a single item for creating a recovery point on disk. You have currently selected multiple items in the list view. Your changes cannot be applied because the protection group properties have changed. The protection group properties could have changed due to either of the following reasons:.

This resource group contains resources that have dependencies that are not part of this resource group. Check your cluster configuration to make sure that the shares and the hard disks on which the shares reside are part of the same resource group.

Check your cluster configuration to make sure that the application and the hard disks that it requires are part of the same resource group. DPM could not perform the requested action on the selected items. This might be because one or more of the selected items or a property associated with the selected items has changed, which prevents the requested action. Update the protection agent to a version that is compatible with the DPM server.

Select the computer on which the protection agent is installed, and then click Update in the Actions pane. In DPM Administrator Console, in the Management task area, on the Agents tab, select the computer on which the protection agent is installed, and then in the Actions pane, click Uninstall to remove the protection agent record.

Another installation is running on the specified server. Resolution Wait for the installation to complete, and then retry the operation. The boot volume on the server is formatted as file allocation table FAT.

If the operating system has been recently updated, Active Directory updates may be pending. In this case, wait until Active Directory is finished updating, and then try installing the protection agent again. The time required for Active Directory updates depends on your domain Active Directory replication policy.

The protection agent installation failed because another version of the protection agent is already installed on the DPM server.

Wait a few minutes after restarting the computer for the protection agent to become available. If the problem persists, do the following:. In the Management task area, on the Agents tab, select the protection agent, and then in the Actions pane, click Uninstall.

Retry the operation, and if the error persists, restart the computer, and then retry the operation again. DPM does not support protection of clustered servers. Otherwise, to resolve this error, do the following:. Otherwise verify that the DNS name is remotely accessible. If the service does not start, reinstall the DPM protection agent.

On the protected computer, download and install the appropriate localized hotfix in article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, and then try the upgrade again.

Note The Hotfix Download Available form displays the languages for which the hotfix is available. The selected servers will reboot immediately after the agents have been installed. Are you sure that you want to install agents on these servers? If the computer has recently been added to the domain, you may need to wait for Active Directory to update. If the computer was recently restarted, wait a few moments and then retry the agent operation again. Verify that a two-way trust is enabled between the domain that the selected computer belongs to and the DPM server's domain, and that the trust is of type forest.

Upgrading the protection agents will cause the backup jobs that are running on the protected computers to fail. Upgrading the protection agents may also cause the replicas of the protected data to become inconsistent. You may need to schedule a consistency check after the upgrade is complete. Click Yes to continue. Verify that the time on the DPM server and the selected computer is synchronized with the domain controller.

Then take the following actions based on which agent operation you were performing before you received the error. If you were installing an agent by using DPM Management Console On the targeted computer, install the protection agent manually, and then add the computer to the DPM server. For step-by-step instructions, see Installing Protection Agents Manually. At the command line, type RemoveProductionServer. When prompted, type the DPM server name, press Enter, type the name of the computer that you want to remove, and then press Enter again.

In the Details pane, select the targeted computer, and then, in the Actions pane, click Refresh information.

The agent operation failed because the protection agent is not active until you restart the selected computers. On the Administrative Tools menu, select Services.

In the right pane, right-click Windows Installer, and then click Start. You can disable the Windows Installer service after the agent operation has completed.

Installing a protection agent on a computer that is running Windows Server causes the computer to briefly lose network connectivity. If the computer is a domain controller, verify that the primary domain controller the PDC Emulator is running Windows Server with Service Pack 1 SP1 , and that Active Directory has completed replication between the domain controllers since the Windows Server SP1 installation.

In the Management task area, on the Agents tab, click Install in the Actions pane. Possible Issue 1 The account that is used does not have sufficient user rights and permissions on the server. Resolution: Retry the agent operation and provide credentials that have administrator user rights on the DPM server.

Possible Issue 2 The system times of the DPM server, the server on which you are installing the agent, and the domain controller are not synchronized; therefore the Kerberos authentication fails. Resolution: Verify that system times on the DPM server and the server on which you are installing the agent are synchronized with the system time on the domain controller.

Resolution: Verify that the DNS settings are correct. Note You can disable the service after the protection agent operation is complete. The agent operation failed because ServerName is not a bit xbased computer or a bit xbased computer. Review the error details, take the appropriate action, and then retry the agent installation operation. Try installing the protection agent manually on the targeted computer.

If the targeted computer is running Windows Server , on the targeted computer, do the following:. Download and manually install the hotfix described in article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. Resolve any errors that you receive during the installation of the hotfix. If you receive the error, "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it," do the following:.

Review the error details, take the appropriate action, and then retry the agent operation. Resolution: Verify COM permissions on the server. Make sure that the disks being added to the storage pool do not contain any of the following: system volume, boot volume, OEM or other special volumes, DPM software, or SQL Server databases. Check Disk Management to see whether the disk is online.

If the disk is offline, check the hardware configuration and then rescan. The allocation of disk space for storage pool volumes failed because there is not enough unallocated disk space in the storage pool. The details are available in the application event log. All protection and recovery jobs on ServerName will fail until the agent is re-enabled.

Do you want to install the protection agent? Verify the following:. To resolve this error, follow these steps. Caution Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. These problems could require you to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk. Always make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it, and that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

On the target computer, click Start , click Run , type regedit, and then click OK. To protect clustered resources, you must install a DPM protection agent on all nodes of the cluster. Review the error details, and make sure that the Windows Management Instrumentation service is running and can be accessed remotely from the DPM server. Make sure that the cluster state is correctly configured and verify that all nodes are joined to the domain. You have selected basic disks.

DPM will convert to dynamic disks and any existing volumes on these disks will be converted to simple volumes. Do you want to continue? The missing disk contains protection group members. To continue protecting these members, you must allocate them to another disk. Make sure that you have specified a valid instance of SQL Server associated with DPM and that you are logged on as a user with administrator privileges.

To synchronize the Operations Manager view with the current state on the DPM server, do the following:. To remove the selected alerts, right-click the alerts, click Set Alert Resolution State, and then click Resolved.

This publishes all existing alerts that may require a user action to Operations Manager. You typed an incorrect user name, password, or SMTP server name. Type the correct user name or password to enable e-mail delivery of reports and alert notifications.

Make sure that the appropriate permissions exist to send e-mail to the specified server by using SMTP. Changes to end-user recovery settings do not fully take effect for each protection group until the next successful synchronization is complete. To install DPM, you must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the local administrators group. Log on to the computer as an administrator or member of the local administrators group, and then run Setup again.

The computer processor speed does not meet the DPM minimum configuration requirements. Upgrade the computer hardware to meet the DPM minimum configuration requirements, or install DPM on a different computer.

The available memory on the computer is less than the DPM minimum memory requirement. Troubleshoot your Windows Installer installation. Contact your support personnel for further help. If you encountered this error while you were on the Installation page of the DPM Setup Wizard, to resolve the error, do the following:. If either service is stopped, in the Details pane, right-click the service, and then click Start.

If the services do not start, change the logon account for both services to the Local system account by doing the following:. On the Log On tab, click This account, in the Account name box, type.

Right-click Windows Management Instrumentation , and then click Start. Verify that the DPM server meets the software requirements. Warning If you have already uninstalled the evaluation version of DPM, then you must reimage the computer.

Failure to create the service may be due to a pending restart. Verify that the SQL Server service is running. DPM cannot enumerate the list of computers on which protection agents are installed because it cannot gain access to the DPM database. Protection agents may be installed on some of the computers. Enter a valid DPM product key. DPM can only be installed on the local drive of the computer. You cannot install DPM on removable media or a network share. Delete the volumes allocated to DPM from the disks that were added to the storage pool.

On the Administrative Tools menu, click Computer Management. The existing installation is a later version than the version you are trying to install. DPM Setup could not create a required service. This computer may be protected by another computer running DPM. You cannot install DPM on a computer on which a protection agent is installed. An older version of DPM is installed on this computer.

Please uninstall it and launch setup again. Expand Local Users and Groups, and then click Groups. On the Administrative Tools menu, click Services. The job was canceled. The user either canceled the job or modified the associated protection group. The DPM service terminated unexpectedly during completion of the job. The termination may have been caused by a system restart.

In the Monitoring task area, group jobs by type and review the job details. If the next scheduled occurrence of this job is currently running, no action is required. If the job is not currently running, retry the job. Make sure that the protected data source is installed properly and that the VSS writer service is running. Cannot connect to the DPM service because it is running in recovery mode, which was initiated by the DpmSync tool.

Please wait for DpmSync to complete its operation. Review the application event log for information about a possible service shutdown. Make sure that the following services are enabled:. Make sure that the DPM service is running, and review the Application event log for information about a possible service shutdown. Either the DPM Alerts event log has been deleted or the permissions have been changed.

If you are already connected to a DPM server and still seeing this error, make sure that the DPM service is running and review the application event log for any errors. Unable to connect to the database because of a fatal database error. It is unlikely that the database has been damaged. Contact your SQL Server administrator.

Review the Windows event log. It is possible that the problem is in the cache only and not on the disk itself. If so, restarting SQL Server corrects the problem.

Otherwise, use DBCC to repair the problem. In some cases, it may be necessary to restore the DPM database. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support. Make sure that SQL Server is running and that it is configured correctly, and then retry the operation.

To install protection agents on these computers, in the Management task area, click the Agents tab, and then, in the Action pane, click Install. If any of the computers are a node of a cluster, you must install a DPM protection agent on all physical nodes of the cluster.

Perform a full restore of the virtual machine. If none of the conditions listed in the Explanation section are present, and you still get this error, try the workaround explained in Microsoft Knowledge Base article Make sure that the front-end Web server of the SharePoint farm has been configured for protection by using ConfigureSharePoint.

This will be reported to Microsoft. A consistency check can be started automatically or manually. To configure automatic consistency check options, change this protection group by using the Modify Protection Group Wizard. To start a manual consistency check, in the Protection task area, on the Actions pane, click Perform Consistency Check. All protection activities for this data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check.

Some jobs have successfully recovered data and some jobs have failed. You have chosen to create the replica manually. All subsequent protection activities for this data source will fail until the replica is created and synchronized with consistency check.

Replica creation job is scheduled to run at a later time. Data protection will not start until replica creation is complete.

All subsequent protection activities that use this disk will fail until the disk is brought back online. Make sure that the tape specified for a detailed inventory is not in a drive and being backed up. To reduce the number of detailed inventory failure alerts, create the following registry key.

To open the Registry Editor, click Start, click Run, and then type regedit. Note After you have created the registry key, you can check whether detailed inventory jobs fail or succeed by using the Jobs tab in the Monitoring view. For computers that are running Windows Server , make sure that KB is installed.

Make sure that the page file size is set correctly. If the protected volume is highly fragmented, run Disk Defragmenter on the volume, and then run a consistency check. Refer to the detailed error code in the description above.

Retry the operation after the issue has been fixed. If the error was caused by insufficient resources, it could be a transient failure, and you should retry the operation later. If error is because of privileges with SMB share, wait for some time or reboot the file server, and then retry the operation. This could be because the file or folder is corrupt, or the file system on the volume is corrupt.

If running chkdsk does not solve the problem, and the computer indicated above is a protected computer and not the DPM server , consider deleting this file or folder from the source, and then running synchronization with consistency check.

If the volume exists, retry the operation. Some items were not recovered because recovering items across a reparse point is not permitted. DPM failed to run the operation because it could not retrieve the ownership information for the targeted computer. This could be caused by cluster failover during backup or insufficient disk space on the volume. If cluster failover has happened during backup, retry the operation.

Start the service on the computer on which the DPM database was created. Make sure that you are a member of the local Administrators group on the DPM server. DPM could not set up a schedule for this report. The information is either missing or it is incorrectly specified. DPM cannot set up an e-mail subscription for this report. The information may be missing or incorrect. There is not enough content to generate a report for this time period.
