RecoverPoint for VM-installer wizard error

Hello,

  I've downloaded and been working on installing the RecoverPoint for VMs try before you buy install.  I've got my 2 vRPA's set up, but when I go to run the deployment manager tool it always fails at step 11.2 (datastores).

My capacity is 1.35TB with 1.25TB free, type=VMFS.  I just sits there for a couple minutes when I click 'next' and then comes up with an error at the bottom that says "internal error, please contact customer support"

Did anyone else run across this and determine what the issue was?

    Hi,

    Can you make sure that the selected datastore can be accessed by both vRPAs ?

    Regards,

    Hi Shane,

    Can you post the DM.log file.

    Thanks,

    Rich

    This may be a stupid reply, but I'm on my way out of the office and I assumed that the fact they are resident on the datastore would indicate they can access it. It is a single host/single datastore environment.

    Shane,

    If the vRPAs reside on it then they can certainly access it, thanks for clarifying that out.

    As Rich pointed out, we will need the DM.log in order to further investigate. please also include the oldlogs directory.

    Thanks,

    Idan

    What is the best way to obtain that particular file? Where is it located?

    From a putty session I've tried choosing option 3 diagnostics, and then option 4. But it never sends anything. I can see it connecting to Filezilla server but nothing comes through.

    You'll find the dm.log file in the DM install directory under the logs sub-directory.

    I found this blog How to deploy RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines 4.2? Part 2: vRPA Cluster | Settlersoman and he seems to have had the same issue. I'm going to blow this whole thing up and start from scratch I guess.

    How do you bypass the RecoverPoint menu to actually access the file system?  I've also found online that 'admin' is supposed to be a user with the password of 'admin' but that has never worked for me in any fashion. I always use boxmgmt for logins and access

    Putting the dm.log requirement aside for the moment (which is in the directory that exists when you unzipped the DM.zip file), did you use admin/admin at step 6? Also, are you using the Try & Buy version?
