It's been OK on the box I have. I did use diskpart to do all the carving though as it would have taken forever just by virtue of countless clicks to do it by hand.
Thanks, Brian Desmond [email protected] c - 312.731.3132 From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 11:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DPM help One other questions for DPM folks. Do you find that the disk management console is horribly slow. I see three disks, 0, 1 and 2. O is the C drive. 2 is the DVD rom drive. 1 is the iscsi drive, and it has all the DPM volumes. So many, in the partition map, it looks like a bar code. Any action takes over a minute to complete. Just curious if others see the same thing. From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 11:01 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DPM help Ok, new error. When I try to cd to First Storage Group from Microsoft Exchange Writer, I get error, "The device is not ready". I'm guessing my only recourse here is to disable protection of the exchange store and remove the on disk dpm images, and then re-enable. That is, unless you have any suggestions for this error. Thanks again. Glen. From: Tobie Fysh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 19, 2010 10:47 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DPM help The mount point is in the Replica folder so go into the Command Prompt CD to "DPMINSTALLLOCATION\Volumes\Replica\exchange.vhcc.edu\Microsoft Exchange Writer\First Storage Group" And then run chkdsk.exe, does it complete successfully? You WILL have to do a full consistency check after this to fix the DPM error. Tobie From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 19 March 2010 12:48 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: DPM help Tobie. Thanks for the link. I tried that, but no matter where I run chkdsk from, it always runs against the C drive, which is the only drive letter assigned on this system. I CD'd as far into the Junctions as possible, but when I run chkdsk, the info it returns is the same info I get if I run chkdsk c:. Here it the path I went to. C:\Program Files\Microsoft DPM\Volumes\DiffArea\exchange.vhcc.edu\Microsoft Exchange Writer\First Storage Group Can't go any deeper. >From the directory Microsoft Exchange Writer, dir lists First Storage Group {\??\Volume\{87e268c-... which matches the volume name listed in the DPM error, so I think I'm in the correct location. Any other suggestions appreciated. Glen.

Tobie From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 March 2010 13:27 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: DPM help Running DPM 2007 here backing up to a Drobo PRO iscsi box. So far it has worked well. Last weekend we had a power outage and things didn't shutdown properly. I've got a DC and Exchange backups that wont run now. I get VSS error on the DPM server that says to clear the VSS error and run chkdsk. When I try to clear the VSS error or re-run the job, I get the same error. Chkdsk /x \\?\Volume{89e268c7-......}<file:///\\%3f\Volume%7b89e268c7-......%7d> Gives error, cannot open volume for direct access. Does this mean my syntax for the volume name is incorrect or what? Chkdsk /x is supposed to dismount the volume and run, but it doesn't. I've stopped all DPM services and still can't get chkdsk to run. Also, disk management MMC, find volume in the sea of volumes, tools, chkdsk doesn't do anything.
