#Veeam HotAdd mode e dischi IDE

Luca Dell'Oca, January 30, 2012December 4, 2016

Se durante un backup con Veeam B&R usato in modalità Hot Add ricevete un errore simile:

e il dettaglio è:

Processing the VM in Backup/Replica job in Virtual Appliance (hot-add) mode fails with the following error message:
“Backing up object “[XXX_SXN] DXX-SXX2-TXX/DXX-SXX2-TXX.vmdk”
BackupDiskFull failed
Client error: Failed to open VDDK disk [[XXX_SXN] DXX-SXX2-TXX/DXX-SXX2-TXX.vmdk] ( is read-only mode – [true] )
Failed to open VMDK.
Logon attempt with parameters [VC/ESX: [xxx-vcenter];Port: 443;Login [xxx-office\xxx-admin];VMX Spec: [moref-vm-401];Snapshot mor [snapshot-635];Transports: [hotadd]] failed because of the following errors:
Server error: End of file”

Check the log file of the failed job for the similar entry:

[timestamp] <20> Info           [AP] (Client) output: [timestamp] verbose ‘transport’] Mounting VM vim.VirtualMachine:vm-401 using transport hotadd failed : Cannot use hotadd to transport to mount Virtual Machines with non-SCSI disks..\n
[timestamp]  <20> Info           [AP] (Client) output: [timestamp verbose ‘transport’] Cannot use mode hotadd to access [XXX_SXN] DXX-SXX2-TXX/DXX-SXX2-TXX.vmdk: Cannot mount using this method.\n
Verificate che il disco della virtual machine non sia IDE:
Non è possibile infatti usare la modalità Hot Add su dischi IDE, come evidenziato anche da questo articolo della KB di Veeam.
Tenete a mente questo limite (dovuto alle funzioni hot add di VMware) quando progettate le vostre virtual machines, se volete che vengano salvate da Veeam in questa modalità.
Ovviamente il failback in network mode permette di bypassare questo errore.
