Windows 7 - Cannot modify protection group - sharepoint

Asked By iku

Hello,
I made following mistake:
- I added second database to sharepoint
- before the datatabase was backed up as part of sharepoint I had added
it to protection group as ordinary database
- the database was backed up but sharepoint backup is inconsistent now,
because it cannot back up the second database

When I want to change protection group, the result is the same for all
operations:
Removing Sharepoint Farm\hvsprgs0023\SharePoint_Config_htcz failed:
Error 201: DPM failed to protect the SQL database HVSPRGS0023
\hvsprgs0028_DS since this was part of the SharePoint Farm hvsprgs0023
\SharePoint_Config_htcz which is either under active protection or has
an inactive replica available.

I cannot even remove the whole protection group.

Can I do something with it ?

Thanks for your help,
Ivan

Hi,
can you stop protecting the second db as ordinary db ( you can do stop
protection for it from protection ui) and then try to do modify pg of
sharepoint and expand the sharepoint node and complete the wizard. if that
still fails, please do a stop protection of sharepoint farm with retain data
and reprotect it again

- I tried to stop protecting the second database - still the same
message
- I tried to stop protecting sharepoint farm - the same message

Hello,
unfortunately you can get into this state even after SP1 - I am the
prove.
In the meantime the problem was solved with microsoft support. He
directly modified the dpm database to get rid of bad reference to sql
database. It was easy. Then it took one week to find the job which was
in the dpm database and crashed the dpm every day.
