Hi, need some help with a problem regarding running consistency check and backing up an exported/imported Hyper-V VM.
Environment:
DPM 2019 10.19.379.0 backing up VM´s on S2D 2019 Hyper-V cluster.
Due to a problem with lingering ahvdx files on one VM, the problem VM was exported and imported. It was imported in to Hyper-V with "Copy the virtual machine (create a new unique ID), the original VM was deleted from Failover cluster and Hyper-V.
After this DPM will not backup the VM or run consistency check. From the log MSDPMCurr.errlog I can see that it´s using the old VM ID not the VM ID that the imported VM actually have now.
I have tried to uncheck backup integration service on the VM in failover cluster manager and started consistency check from DPM, checked backup integration on the VM again, started consistency check from DPM once more, removed the problem VM from protection group, pressed Refresh button when cluster is marked when adding to protection group again.
Is there any magic trick how to be able to backup on a VM that is imported in to Hyper-v that have previously been backed up with DPM?
I can also add that I previously have tried to import an exported VM with "Restore the virtual machine (use existing unique ID)" and had the same problem with that VM and DPM. In that case I ended up taking backup from Hyper-V replica server but that is not an option in this case.
