Backup exec 12.5 / Hyper V - Win 2008 Ent R2 64x
Hi Team.
Can someone tell me why the following would happen.
We have a HP server with Hyper-V (Windows 2008 Ent Edition R2) connected to this server is a HP Storageworks 1/8 autoloader and Symantec backup exec 12.5.
For some strange reason I get "unknown error" where running backups within Symantec.
The above error only seems to happen with large backup / smaller backup like 2GB work 100%
Another thing i have noticed is that if i shut down both the server and the autoloader and boot both of them up at the same time my Virtual servers don’t start up.
If i only boot the server, then the virtual servers boot up 100%.
Are there any known issue with regards to Hyper-V and Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 or the HP P800 Controller (3B1513-B1) or the HP Single CH U320 SCSI Adapter?
Your assistance and comments would be greatly appreciated.
