When you are done retrieving files, and you want to quit, go back to your command prompt window and type DETACH VDISK

I was able to retrieve files that I needed by dragging them to the desktop.
#FAILED TO START BACKUP SCHEDULER VDP WINDOWS#
You can now dig into this drive with your Windows Explorer GUI just the same as any. It returns: DiskPart successfully selected the virtual disk file.Īfter a few secs, your vhd will mount as a new logical drive. Next type SEL VDISK file=”the-location-of-your-file-including-the-file-name”ĭISKPART> SEL VDISK file="J:\WindowsImageBackup\99-DC02\Backup 070031\2a7efb56-0b8e-11e4-8d4c-806e6f6e6963.vhd" It returns a few lines indicating that DiskPart is started. Open command prompt and just type DISKPART I was able to very quickly and easily mount the backup vhd as logical (usable) hard drive by using a built-in Windows program called DISKPART. Now that we are out of that stuck program, we still need to get into the Windows Server Backup vhd. Super simple: Just go into SERVICES and restart "Block Level Backup Engine."

Wow, it was as simple as typing su - admin before running the dpnctl start mcs force_mcs_restore command.

How do I specify the password for the MCS administrative user id so that I may force MCS up again? Permission deniedPermission denied at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/XML/LibXML.pm line 587.Ĭould not create file parser context for file "/usr/local/avamar/var/mc/server_data/prefs/mcserver.xml": Permission denied at /usr/local/avamar/lib/MCServer.pm line 128ĭpnctl: ERROR: cannot restore MCS data without a password for MCS administrative user idĭpnctl: ERROR: MCS restore did not succeed, so not restarting MCS

and attempted to run the command specified in there, but it is not successful. I found this article: Starting the MCS service in VMware vSphere Data Protection 5.1.x fails with the error: gsan rollback. Identity added: /home/dpn/.ssh/dpnid (/home/dpn/.ssh/dpnid)ĭpnctl: INFO: Backup scheduler status: down.ĭpnctl: INFO: Maintenance windows scheduler status: enabled.ĭpnctl: INFO: Unattended startup status: enabled.ĭpnctl: INFO: So, I was then able to gain access to the rollback, but rollback failed. It had lost data02, and I got that back by running a filecheck discarding the metadata stuff. Dear all, I have been knocking my VDP about trying to fix it.
