HP Data Protector A.06.00 additional writers and HP StorageWorks Disk Array XP support for Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service integration
It is recommended to perform registry management tasks periodically to prevent the
registry from filling.
Problem
Data Protector reports that a volume was not removed.
During a backup session, the following error is reported:
Volume 'StorageID', which is part of backup 'backupID', was not removed.
This error may appear if a replica on the disk array is removed, but its entry in the
VSS database (VSSDB) remains intact.
The following circumstances may lead to such an error:
• If a backup session fails without creating a replica, but the reference that was
created for it could not be removed due to network problems.
• In a cluster environment on Disk Array XP, when the backup system is a virtual
server, or during local backup when the application system (which is the same
as the backup system) is a virtual server. In this case, after a failover, replicas on
the other (failed-over) system cannot be properly removed from the database.
Action
To remove the false entry from the VSSDB:
1. In the error messages, find the ID of the session which could not remove the
target volume.
2. Run the following command, where SessionID is the session whose target
volume(s) could not be removed:
omnidbvss -remove session SessionID -reference
Upon successful removal, the command should display the confirmation message
Removing references of session SessionID from VSSDB.
