Even after removing my backup software I still cannot create a production checkpoint, I get the same error, on the host that works just fine, I never did the production checkpoint / subtree delete. There are some scenarios where Hyper-V won't like it, such as when checkpoints are to be created. Run the following command for each folder or volume you have containing Hyper-V virtual machine files: icacls C . Finally, we apply the changes. icacls D:\VMs /grant "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\Virtual Machines":F /T Virtual machine failed to generate VHD tree: 'Catastrophic failure'('0x8000FFFF'). Remove-VMSnapshot : 'NAME' failed to remove checkpoint. When I ran the veeam backup the job failed at creating the checkpoint. Under the management, we select Checkpoints. And the checkpoint creation failed. but when I try to start the vm I am getting this message. (Virtual machine ID E397EC81-9B8C-435F-95C9-F9950638BF28) Production Checkpoint for VM 'VM' failed in the guest VSS Integration Component with . (Virtual machine ID EE11A0a2-E182-4196-Ba3-xxxx) Our Synology Backup is failing because of this. Production checkpoints fail Posted by Steve372 on Aug 28th, 2017 at 1:01 AM Solved Virtualization Data Backup I recently moved some VM's from a 2008r2 server to a 2016 server. It may help, unless the checkpoints failures also corrupted the resilient chang tracking (RCT) record for this machine on the host, which may still result in errors. We enable the checkpoint option. Then, we select the Virtual machine settings. . Second, the issue may be down to a permissions misconfiguration. Virtual machine failed to generate VHD tree. Under the Management section, select Checkpoints. Now we change the checkpoint from production to standard. In some cases, the production checkpoint might not be created successfully (for example, because VSS operations are unable to present dynamic disks). Reasons for this include: Too many jobs are running at a time for the number of concurrent tasks set across all proxies available to the job that failed. I manually ran a production checkpoint on the hyper v manager with standard checkpoint option off. A reboot then resolves it. Added vhd sets on SQL1 and SQL2 Trying to create production checkpoints but ending up with the below error Cannot take checkpoint for 'DB1-LIVE' because one or more shareable VHDX are attached and this is not part of a checkpoint collection. Right-click the VM and select "Settings".Uncheck the box "Create standard checkpoints if it's not possible to create a production checkpoint" and save settings.Right-click the VM and select "Checkpoint".
