A SureBackup job displays the error:
Error: Mount with leaseId 'xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx' already activated.
Surebackup will fail with this message if certain operations time out. Veeam Backup & Replication implements timeouts for most operations to protect against hangs. However, even when no process is hung, timeouts may occur due to significant performance problems or an unusual use case.
Typically, this error occurs due to the slow performance of the vPower NFS datastore. Possible causes of the slow performance:
The timeouts can be configured by creating the following registry values on the Mount Server. Increase the timeouts to 2x or 3x their default value. Needing to increase the timeouts further may indicate that performance needs to be investigated instead.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication\SureBackup
Value Name: MountLeaseTimeOut
Value Type: DWORD (32-Bit) Value
Default Value Data(Dec): 600
The value is measured in seconds.
Key Location: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication
Value Name: remotingTimeout
Value Type: DWORD (32-Bit) Value
Default Value Data(Dec): 900
The value is measured in seconds.
The most common cause of this error is slow read performance from the backup repository. Which often correlates with the use of deduplicating storage as a back-end for Surebackup. If you must verify backups from deduplicating storage, increasing the above timeouts to several hours may be necessary, especially if there are any large (multi-TB) VM disks. Optimize storage devices for random read I/O of large blocks (typically 256 KB – 512KB with default settings or 4 MB for backups on deduplicating storage; your use case may vary). A simple benchmark is described in KB2014.
Performance of deduplicating appliances can also be improved by adding them as Deduplicating Appliance instead of via SMB (CIFS) or NFS.
