How To Install Hyper-V Integration Services; How To Install Vmware Tools - ACRONIS Backup & Recovery 10 Advanced Server Virtual Edition User Manual


Microsoft Windows 7
Linux platform.
Guest HDD
The following virtual disk configurations are supported.
Partitioning style: MBR
Volume types: basic and dynamic volumes.
Dynamic volumes (LDM in Windows and LVM in Linux) are supported to the same extent as on
physical machines. The LDM/LVM structure needs to be created prior to the recovery if you want to
retain the LDM/LVM. To do so, you will have to boot the target virtual machine using bootable media
(p. 371) or its ISO image and use Acronis Disk Director Lite for LDM reconstruction or Linux command
line tools for LVM reconstruction. Another option is to recover dynamic volumes as basic.
Troubleshooting
Agent: Agent for Hyper-V
Issue: Backup of an online virtual machine fails because of a Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
error. The error can be seen in the Application Event Log (Event ID = 8193).
Cause: This happens because there is no registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{F2C2787D-95AB-40D4-942D-298F5F757874}
Solution: Add this key to the registry. To do so, create and run the following script (xxx.reg):
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{F2C2787D-95AB-40D4-942D-298F5F757874}]
@="PSFactoryBuffer"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{F2C2787D-95AB-40D4-942D-
298F5F757874}\InProcServer32]
