Issue With Delta Backups not running since 1/1/10
by petedr 8 Months ago
There is an issue with Delta backups not running since January 1st 2010. Full backups continue to run and the message in the logs show something similar to this.
2010-01-03 12:15:33.314e WRN: MISSING MASTER INDEX file /00-phd_3.6_2_GUI_.63.vmdk.index-.gz
We are looking into a correction for this and we will provide an update as soon as possible.
This issue effects all versions of esXpress 3.6.* ad 3.1.*.
**** NOTE - This issue will occur once a new Full backups is created in 2010 ****

Current update.
We have the coding completed for the Delta/Full fix. We are still testing in our labs for the two major esXpress versions ( 3.1.* and 3.6.* ).
As soon as we have a definite release available I will post back. I am still hopeful within a day.

Update
We have currently offered a test 3.1-22 rpm for a few users with open tickets for testing. Upon successful user testing we will release the 3.1-22 rpm fix which should be later today. This addresses any users running esXpress 3.1.
I will post when the 3.1-22 rpm is available.
We are still testing the 3.6 fix ( 3.6-11 ) and I should post an update for that later today.

The 3.1-22 rpm has been released and is available for download on our web site.
SUPPORT -> Updates.
To apply the 3.1-22 update these are the steps.
Copy the rpm to your host, it can be placed anywhere
As root ( su - to root ) run the following 3 commands.
rpm -e esxpress
rpm -i esxpress-3.1-22.esx.i386.rpm
phd import
Nothing else is required for the upgrade.
We are still testing the 3.6 fix for this issue.

The 3.6-11 rpm has been posted to the web site ( SUPPORT - Updates ) for users not running the GUI Management Appliance.
The 'Check for Updates' 3.6-11 release has not been posted yet but will be shortly.
For those users not running the GUI Management Appliance to apply the 3.6-11 rpm upgrade these are the steps.
Copy the rpm to your host, it can be placed anywhere
As root ( su - to root ) run the following 3 commands.
rpm -e esxpress
rpm -i esxpress-3.6-11.esx.i386.rpm
phd import
Nothing else is required for the upgrade.

*** THIS IS HAS NOW BEEN RESOLVED FOR ALL ESXPRESS RELEASES ***
We have released 3.6-11 via the 'Check for Updates' process.
For any user running a esXpress 3.5/3.6 version you can update to 3.6-11 using the normal appliance 'Check for Updates' process.
From the appliance console :
phd - 'Check for Updates'
There is an update for both the GUI Management Appliance and also the DeDup appliance.
We should be released a new 3.6-11 ovf within the next day or two.
We do apologize for any issues that may have caused our users.
