    Backing up Physical Machines - Ranger inconsistency with drive recognition

    We are trying to backup some physical boxes using vRanger and it seems to work fine on our rack mounted HP DL380 Servers when i try to run it against a blade server it comes back with the following error in the invsvc.log file

     --- invsvc version 2.1.19.1 ---
    [20080327 13:34:01] [W] Can't delete registry key SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\EVMCGarbageCollect. Error 0

    Also what i did notice was when we imported the physical machine into the ranger GUI it reported the server as having 2 drives which it does but they are setup as mirrored drives so it only actually has 1  drive in windows, when we import the DL380 server which also has 2 local disks and are mirrored it picked that up as 1 disk in the ranger GUI....

    Any ideas ??

    I'm looking into this with QA for see if it's an error reading mounted devices.  Does the blade have a recovery partition?

    Yes i believe all our HP boxes have the recovery partition out the box and we just put on OS onto it then weather that be ESX, Windows or Novell

    Ignore the drives problem, someone had presented the blade a 1GB test san disk so it did have 2 drives.....so the software was correct when it identified the server as having 2 drives

    i have a call open aout the origional registry error anyways now

    Sorry for that mistake with the drives didnt want to lead you down the garden path :)
