So here is the information, but please ask anything that you need to know.
Previous Architecture
DPM SERVER (PHYSICAL SERVER):
- OS: Server 2008 R2
- DPM 2010
Hyper-V (PHYSICAL SERVER):
- OS: Server 2008 R2
- VM'S: SERVER 2008 R2
New Architecture
DPM SERVER (PHYSICAL SERVER):
- OS: Server 2008 R2
- DPM 2010
Hyper-V (PHYSICAL SERVER):
- OS: Server 2012 R2
- VM'S: SERVER 2008 R2
PROCESS:
- Shutdown all VM's
- Moved to shared storage
- Loaded existing Hyper-V server with Server 2012 R2
- Moved VM's back
- Started up
- Upgraded Integration tools
Utilizing DPM, configured Protection Group for VM's and connected to host. These backups were running great for a couple years.
Since moving over, the backups of Exchange, etc on the VM's are still working great, but the VM's themselves through the new host fail immediately. I can attempt to Perform a consistency check, but it fails immediately.
The error that I have gotten on each is:
ID:3106 All protection activities for data source will fail until the replica is synchronized with consistency check.
Followed by:
ID:104 An unexpected error occurred while the job was running.
On the Hyper-V host I only see (which is only showing for the Exchange server):
The Data Exchange integration service is either not enabled, not running or not initialized. However, the service is running. Although it is running.
