Win2K8-Volume Shadow Copy Service (Vss)

[siddharthyv]

Hi,

 

1:I am using Diskshadow application to test the hardware provider on win2k8 server , I am seeing the following error in event viewer

 

"Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error IOCTL_DISK_SET_SNAPSHOT_INFO \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE1)

 

And from Diskshadow I am seeing the following error

DISKSHADOW> add volume g:

DISKSHADOW> create

COM call "m_pVssBackup->AddToSnapshotSet" failed.

The last operation failed.

- Returned HRESULT: 80042308

- Error text: VSS_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND

 

2:When I use Windows server backup tool on win2k8 server SP1 - enterprise edition, it fails with the error

"The operation to read from volume shadow copy on source failed. Detailed Error: Incorrect function”

 

3:Also the hardware provider is not invoked in win2k8 server SP2 - enterprise edition,

 

I request you to please let me know what the issue might be
