VeeamON 2024 - Use Code "COMMUNITY10" for 10% Off!
Posted to R&D… Thanks
I tried installing VAW 5.0.1.4584 multiple times and at the end it tries to start the service for a long time then fails. There is an option to retry which fails. I removed all the Microsoft SQL Server components, rebooted then tried installing VAW with no luck. When I found the trick to install SQL Express I did so using a VHDX as the instance drive and was able to complete the SQL installation on the first attempt. Then I tried to install VAW with no luck so I removed VAW (again) and installed another endpoint backup software. All of this was done on one Windows 11 laptop which was previously a Windows 10 running VAW 5.xI’ll just tried it on a clean Win 11 and the installation went through fine…Let me check if the logs were left behind on the other PC to see if there are any clues.
Today I got a response from another user on the Veeam R&D Forum that seems like a solution. I’ll try this tonight and report back on Monday. His drive is the same as mine (Samsung 980 PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, 1 TB) equilaxNovicePosts: 3Liked: neverJoined: Dec 16, 2021 3:20 pmLocation: GermanyContact:Contact equilax Re: Can't install Veeam Agent for Windows 5.0.1 on Windows 11Post by equilax » Dec 16, 2021 4:19 pmUnfortunately i could not edit my previous post. I have found a workaround.In fact, the physical sector size seems to be larger:Code: Select allfsutil fsinfo sectorinfo c:Logische Bytes pro Sektor: 512Physische Bytes pro Sektor für Unteilbarkeit: 32768Physische Bytes pro Sektor für Leistung: 32768Effekt. phys. Bytes/Sektor für Unteilbark. in Dateisystem:4096There seems to be a problem with SQL Express on Windows 11 that the physical sector size is returned, which prevents the DB from starting.https://dba.stackexchan
EUREKA… IT WORKS!!!I’m finally able to resume using Veeam Agent for Windows on my PC.It turns out that it was the swapping of my NvME drive from 250 GB to 1 TB that messed things up (Samsung 980 PCIe 3.0 NVMe M.2 SSD, 1 TB) . Thanks to Andreas aka equilax for figuring this out
