XG VM on Hyper V 2019

wilspin

Hi All,

I am setting up server 2019 std with Hyper V role and installed XG As a virtual machine. all went well until i rebooted it  after successfully registering it. It hangs at 'stopping'. if you rt click the VM and choose shut down, same issue. Windows server vm work fine. anyone seen this? works fine on 2012.

    so some interesting new from the production server. Above was the lab server which i have had shut down.

     

    So backup started to fail intermittently on the server on both backup drives. these are USB bays with SATA 3GB disks in them, a few years old. the error would say something cryptic, no real hint says; delete and recreate backup job.  once on each drive. sometime it failed at last volume 'F' other times never started. 3rd time says error writing to drive. happening twice on same disk but one error did not identify disk name , used a random volume string. So i decided to replace the USB bays with new ones.


    so guess what ? backup fails within minutes on first volume on both NEW bup drives and lots of warnings in the system log about uapstor driver resetting and disk retried warnings. was better with old bup bays. Should i put them back?


    So did chkdsk on bup disk, was ok. so what gives here? is it USB problem,disk problem, USB bus maybe? So i looked again at error logs and noticed some failed at volume 'F'.
    ' so i looked at the drive; and that is where XG firewall VM is located. Of course i have has this VM off since November as it causes backup to malfunction. still waiting for the word from Sophos that they support it on server 2019.
    Wait a minute!!!

    I dropped the VM and deleted the files (to recycle bin)and Vola backup now works and finished successfully in 80 min. still a few warnings in system log but far less. 

    So should i wait for second bup bay, rerun bup wizard or maybe empty recycle bin of XG files? Something about the XG VM disks is causing this.  and why was it ok for 3 months? last MSpatch 2019-12 was 3 weeks before first failure. I will wait for bup drive bay change tomorrow. stay tuned.
