Hi
I’ve run into a problem with protecting SharePoint with DPM. The original Sharepoint SQL cluster was hosted on a SAN which unfortunately had crashed. We had managed to rebuild the environment on a different storage array and SharePoint is back up and running. I’m trying to protect it with DPM and I keep getting DPM cannot protect this Sharepoint Farm message box with 3 possible reasons on why.
1)Ensure that the Sharepoint VSS writer is reporting content database on the front-end web server
2)Verify that the SQL server VSS writer is enabled ad running in a healthy state on all the backend SQL server machines
3)Verify if some of the database that are part of this Sharepoint farm are already being protected by DPM.
The previous PG was deleted from DPM along with the replica.
I can create a PG with the new SQL cluster and can tick all the db’s on there without any problems, and I can select folders on the WFE and select them for protection without any issues. But when I select Sharepoint it fails with the error message.
I’ve checked the VSS writers and no error messages, and re-run the ConfigureSharepoint commands including the ResolveSqlAliases, but I’m still unable to protect Sharepoint. All Sharepoint servers have been restarted.
One this I have noticed is that when I select the Sharepoint box it shows as just ‘Sharepoint’ not Sharepoint\ServerName\Sharepoint_Config
Any ideas on steps I can take next??
