Verifying the configuration of Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V

After you run the configuration wizard, you can use the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console to verify the configuration of the nodes that were created during the configuration process. By verifying the node configuration, you can help to prevent potential issues with system operations.

About this task

When you verify the configuration of the nodes, the following types of information are displayed:
  • Information about the data mover node such as the host name, operating system, and location of the error log
  • If the file restore feature is enabled, information about the mount proxy nodes such as the host name, operating system, location of the error log, the state of the recovery agent, and the iSCSI status of the mount proxy nodes

Procedure

  1. Start the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console.
  2. Select a cluster or host from the navigation pane.
  3. In the Actions pane, click Properties.
  4. In the Properties window, select the Verify Nodes page to display the node information.

    The data that is displayed on the General page and Verify Nodes page depends on the node that you selected in the navigation pane. If you selected a cluster node, the information about all valid nodes in the cluster is displayed. If you selected a host, only the data that is related to the host is displayed.

  5. Select a node that you want to verify from the Node Information box and click Verify Node.
    Tip: If you select a Linux mount proxy node, the Verify Node button is disabled. To view Linux mount proxy information, select the Windows mount proxy node (usually the next item in the list) and click Verify Node. Then, select the Linux mount proxy node in the Node Information box again to view the Linux mount proxy information in the Status Details box.
  6. Review the results in the Status Details box and resolve any issues that are discovered during the verification.
    Tip: You can save the results to the clipboard by highlighting the contents in the Status Details box, and pressing Ctrl+C. You can then paste the contents into a text document and save it for reference.
  7. To close the Properties window, click Close.

What to do next

After you resolve any configuration issues, you can restart the Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V Management Console and verify the configuration again.

Tip: You can also verify the configuration with the Test-DpHvConfiguration PowerShell cmdlet. For more information, see Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V cmdlet examples.
