Hello All,
I just upgraded a Windows client Cluster Configured backup environment from 5.3.0.0. to 5.5.0.2. The upgrade seemed to go ok but the active node Cluster node backup failed to complete successfully. I found the errors below in the Clients dsm.errorlog. I know VSS Errors have been mentioned here before but I can’t find one that pertains to a Cluster ( If A Cluster backup is even relevant at all when it pertains to VSS errors. Has anyone seen this type of VSS error before?
What is it with the 5.5.x.x Clients and these VSS errors anyway? I don’t believe these occurred with the earlier Clients that we had. Also are the VSS errors fixed in the latest 5.5.0.6 client? I would think/hope so If not is there something that I can put in the dsm.opt file to correct the issue? Or do I have to upgrade to 5.5.0.6? which makes me cringe (due to it being a Cluster and I just struggled a little through this first one.
