DPM 2012 R2 and Bare Metal Recovery/System State System Protection Hyper-V Generation 2 VM Support

Question

I have a physical Server 2012 R2 vhost running 2 Server 2012 R2 VMs setup as Generation 2 based. My DPM 2012 R2 server will perform the backup of the vhost just fine, but will consistently fail on the two Generation 2 based VMs. After further researching, I noticed that the physical Server 2012 R2 does not contain a EFI System Partition but the two VM's do (99 MB right in front of the C: boot partition).

When I try to get a backup/sync change through DPM, it fails I'm guessing because of the EFI partition. The event log on the VM server indicates Event ID 521 with error code 0x80780119. Launching Windows Server Backup, the failed status gives: There is not enough disk space to create the volume shadow copy (because I'm guessing it is trying to store those on the EFI partition) The two VMs were loaded from ISO based installation. I guess my question is:

Does DPM 2012 R2 support generation 2 VMs Bare Metal Recovery backups due to the EFI partition?

UPDATE-2

The Windows product group has determined that this is a code defect and are working on a fix. In the meantime, you can use one of the following workarounds so DPM initiated BMR backups succeed.

Solution 1) Permanently disable WINRE so a snapshot is not attempted on the recovery partition when Windows image backup (BMR) is taken.

a) open an administrative command prompt.
b) Run: reagentc /disable
c) BMR backups will now succeed. To enable WINRE again run: reagentc /enable

Solution 2) Use a DPM pre-backup and post-backup script to disable WINRE before the BMR backup is taken and Re-enable WINRE after the BMR backup completes.

Using pre-backup and post-backup scripts

a) On the Windows 2012 R2 protected server (hyper-V guest) replace the ScriptingConfig.xml file with the new one below.

LOCATION: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\DPM\Scripting\ScriptingConfig.xml

CONTENT OF NEW ScriptingConfig.xml. Note the trailing space in "System Protection " <--must be trailing space.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScriptConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/dls/ScriptingConfig.xsd">
<DatasourceScriptConfig DataSourceName="System Protection ">
<PreBackupScript>C:\temp\Disable-WINRE.cmd</PreBackupScript>
<PostBackupScript>C:\temp\Enable-WINRE.cmd</PostBackupScript>
<TimeOut>5</TimeOut>
</DatasourceScriptConfig>
</ScriptConfiguration>

b) Make the following two batch files (disable-winre.cmd and enable-winre.cmd) and save them in c:\temp folder on the protected server.

Disable-WINRE.cmd content.

reagentc /disable

Enable-WINRE.cmd content.

reagentc /enable

Hi,

As you have already discovered, this is not a DPM issue as DPM just leverages Windows backup. Can you supply a screenshot of disk management inside one of the effected guests so I can try to duplicate the configuration.

Thanks - setting this up now (in my spare time) and will see if I can find a workaround. Stay Tuned..

The problem is that the 300MB Recovery Partition only has about 31MB free space and VSS requires minimum of 50MB to create a snapshot.

You can see this by assigning a drive letter to the volume and doing a DIR /A

You can move the shadowcopy storage for the recovery partition volume to the C: volume.

C:\Windows\system32>vssadmin add shadowstorage /for=\\?\Volume{152eadd9-f001-4562-bb9c-dc0cc50c638c}\ /on=c: /maxsize=500MB

Mike,

Not sure I would call that a solution. This is a work around at best, and one that certainly doesn't scale very well. Also, from what is being reported here...

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7373a7b8-01c8-4e2b-aaaa-513b7dad56f4/windows-server-2012-r2-vm-back-up-fails-with-insufficient-storage-available-to-create-either-the

"...the backups work however after recovering the new VM image the Add ShadowStorage Map is lost and has to be recreated for backups to work again."

...it's not a work around that can be relied on in a production environment. So how long will we have to wait for a hotfix? Realizing without one backups of Gen2 VMs are broken.

Hi,

As mentioned earlier, this is not a problem in DPM code. The windows backup group would need to make windows server backup exclude that small 300mb Partition / volume from shadow copy list and just back it up natively.

Please work with the Windows support group to report the problem and ask for a better solution / fix.

Thanks Mike, that's pure semantics though because it's through DPM that my backups are failing...DPM code, or not. Of course it is much easier for you to say "this is not a problem in DPM code" and deflect taking any responsibility to help resolve the problem.

Hi,

From a DPM perspective, I provided a workaround to allow DPM recovery points to succeed which solves the problem as reported. There are no DPM code changes that can fix or influence Windows server BMR backup behavior.

UPDATE - FYI - I have pinged the Windows product group to make them aware of the reported problem so they can review internally.

Thank you for your assistance Mike in the notification to the Windows product group to make them aware of this issue. We have opted to not run any generation 2 based VMs until this problem has been resolved.

Hey

I just encountered the same problem with 2 newly installed Windows Server 2012R2 on Hyper-V R2 Free - both installed as 2nd generation machines.

the workaround with disabling & enabling the WinRE works, but when i try to move the shadowstorage for the recovery partition it tells me i used a wrong option !!?

Here are my CMD outputs (german windows ;) )

Hi,

I cannot explain the "invalid parameter" error, but try using the DPM pre and post backup script solution.

Hi Mike,

Is there any update on this issue from the Windows product team? It's been over a month since the last update and I would hope that, given the scope of the machines that this affects, it would not be a back-burner issue for them.

We also encounter this issue. We have a lot of Gen2 VM's. It is NOT an option to not use them. Currently we have a big issue since this affects a lot of VM's.

The weird thing is, it did work before. But at a certain point this started to cause a problem.

Any update on a fix?

Thank you for the link. I must note there is no fix available yet, only a work-around. The KB talks about upgrading to Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2. But this problem also occurs on fresh installations.

The work-around not a scailable solution. Is there any timeframe we might expect a fix? I am not sure we need to escalate this to Microsoft Support.

I'm seeing this issue also with VMWare 5.5 guests. I'm trying the workaround and when I manually disable reagentc, my backup job finishes successfully. I've implemented the pre and post backup scripts on a test server. It looks like the pre-backup script is disabling reagentc and the backup is running (issued from DPM) however my post backup script is failing to reenable reagentc.

Never mind. I was originally putting the scripts in the same folder as the scriptingconfig.xml file thinking that made better sense to have them together. I moved them to c:\windows\temp and updated the scriptingconfig.xml file and then my backup worked. Seems strange that it would run the disable script but not the enable script.

Anyway, while this is a nice workaround, I'd be interested in finding out when a fix might be available.

Has there been any hotfix released for this yet besides manually editing the recovery partition and disabling and re-enabling reagentc?

Hi,

I would keep an eye on this Windows KB article to see if they announce a fix for the issue.

Any further inquiries should be posted in the Windows support forum.
