WebUI does not run in Compatibility View in Internet Explorer

Description

The NetVault WebUI does not run in Compatibility View in Internet Explorer.

Symptom

If Compatibility View is enabled for the site in Internet Explorer, the following error message is displayed when you try to access NetVault: “Compatibility view is not supported. Use a different browser or remove this site from the list of websites using Compatibility View to properly view the application.”

Solution

Remove the site from the list of websites using Compatibility View or use a different browser.

NetVault installer fails during push installation

Description

Push installation fails for a target client.

Symptom

The following error message appears in the task log:

NetVault installer for the core package failed with error 1.

Solution

There are several reasons why an installation can fail. The information in the installation log file can help you diagnose and troubleshoot the issue. You can find the log file in the system temporary directory. (The TEMP environment variable for system account determines the location of this directory; this path is typically set to %windir%\Temp.)

Depending on the stage at which the installation process fails, the installer may create a file named netvault_{GUID}_install.log or bitrock_installer.log (or bitrock_installer_nnn.log).

If you are unable to resolve the issue, contact Quest Technical Support.

 

VSS-based backup fails

Description

When performing a VSS-based backup, if the VSS writer fails to generate a snapshot, the job fails.

Symptom

The log messages show the following errors:

•
Failed to add extra items to the selection tree.
•
Failed to prepare the selection tree and backup options.
Solution

These messages indicate a problem in the VSS subsystem. NetVault cannot complete the backup job if the VSS subsystem is not functioning properly. Before you run the job again, we recommend that you do the following:

•
Delete the existing shadow copies. (You can use the Vssadmin or DiskShadow utilities to delete the shadow copies.)
•
Restart the applicable VSS writer service.

Modifying TCP/IP socket buffer size on Windows

Description

Cannot modify TCP/IP socket buffer size on Windows.

Symptom

Slow performance occurs on Windows when data is transferred over a LAN. Changing the window size using any network tool (for example, IPerf) does not change the buffer size.

Solution

On Windows, the registry settings must be modified to increase the TCP/IP buffer size. For more information about these settings, see the KB article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/823764 from Microsoft.
