Phoenix errors
This topic provides errors that you may encounter while working with Phoenix.
PHOENIX4
Error Message: File does not exist for received input during backup or restore.
Error Description: This error can occur because of one of the following reasons:

- During backup, if the file that is to be uploaded to Phoenix Cloud is not found in the system.
Error Solution: Contact Druva Support.

PHOENIX54
Error Message: Failed to take snapshot.
Error Description: The error can occur because of one of the following reasons:
- The source server is out-of-memory or other system resources.
- The writer is not operating properly.
- Ensure that VSS service is running.
For more information, see the error log. - The specified writer does not exist.
- An unexpected error.
For more information, see Event and Error Handling listed under VSS.
Error solution (for Hyper-V hosts): Disable backup(volume checkpoint) in integration service or install integration service on the virtual machine guest operating system and try again.

Error Message: Phoenix internal error
Error Description: This error can occur if:
- The files being backed up by the Phoenix agent are deleted or not present at the location.
OR - In case of the MS-SQL server, if the DB file is directly present on the drive during the backup.
PHOENIX72
Error Message: Failed while reading file-system structure.
Error Description: This error can occur if the file system reports an error during the estimation or backup phase.
Error Solution: To resolve the error, ensure that the file system is healthy with respect to disk space and mount points, and has no disk corruption.
PHOENIX75
Error Message: Administrator canceled the request
Error Solution: Trigger a new request (if needed).
PHOENIX82
Error Message: Request not found on Phoenix server, request validation failed.:[Request was no more valid on Phoenix server.]
Error Description: This error can occur if,
- Another request is in the process when the new request was initiated.
- Backup set is disabled.
Error Solution: To resolve the error,
- Trigger a new request.
- Enable the backup set and trigger a new request.
PHOENIX109
Error Message: RPC method not supported.
Error Description: This error can occur if you are executing a feature on an unsupported agent.
Error Solution: To resolve the error, upgrade the agent.
PHOENIX146
Error Message: Requested CloudCache Server does not exist.
Error Description: This error can occur if you have only configured backup to CloudCache and the CloudCache server has network connection drop for more than 10 minutes.
Error Solution: To resolve the error, check network connection on the cache server.
PHOENIX158
Error Message: Restore point not created as the backup could not be completed in the available backup window. The backup will resume in the next scheduled window.
Error Description: This error may occur if the:
- The request did not complete in the scheduled window.
- A job has started processing but could not complete in the window duration.
Note:
- The progress logs are updated until the Phoenix client is active in the backup schedule window.
- A new job is created for the next scheduled job. The status of the current job does not change.
Error Solution: To ensure you do not get the same error:
- Adjust the time for the scheduled window.
- Run Backup Now instead of the scheduled job, to avoid this message for long running jobs. You will not encounter this message as Backup Now runs without any duration constraint.
- Set the value of the Duration field in Backup Policy to '0' while configuring the server for backup. Zero duration indicates an unlimited duration in backup policy. This will enable the job to run without any scheduled window in case it is a long-running job. It can later be modified for incremental backups.
