The NetWorker VMware Protection integration is configured with the vProxy Appliance. The file level restore (FLR) to a Windows virtual machine fails during the FLR agent installation with: 159373:nsrvproxy_flr: vProxy Log: YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS INFO: [@(#) Build number: 233] Unmounting after mount failure: Unable to install FLR agent on VM '[VM_NAME]' (vm-442): Failed to install vProxy Agent on "[VM_NAME]": Command 'C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe' terminated with exit code 1625.
The Microsoft Windows exit status during the msi installation is related to an operating system security setting: C:\Windows\system32>net helpmsg 1625 This installation is forbidden by system policy. Contact your system administrator. There are several possibilities causing the issue some of which are listed below: User Account Control (UAC) settings are set too high. An Active Directory Domain Policy is not allowing software installs. Internet Explorer (IE) settings have restricted the FLR Agent MSI package from being installed. There is antivirus software that is installed on the target VM blocking the FLR agent install.
This is a Windows security setting issue which must be reviewed by the local Administrator and cannot be addressed through NetWorker. The Windows administrator account can be used to install the FLR agent, subsequent FLR can be run using another account. The following workarounds can be used to install the FLR Agent on the target virtual machine: NetWorker Web User Interface (NWUI) Method If NWUI server has been installed in the NetWorker environment, you can specify Run with elevated privileges during the FLR. This option is not available in the NetWorker Management Console (NMC) or Data Protection Restore Client. https:// NetWorker_Server :9090/nwui Verify if NWUI is installed on the NetWorker server (Included by default on NetWorker Virtual Edition): Linux: rpm -qa | grep lgtonwui Windows: wmic product get name, version, vendor | find "Web UI Server" Manual Installation Method If the FLR agent cannot be installed using NMC, NetWorker Web UI, or Restore Client, manually install it on the target VM operating system. Log in to the Windows VM you want to perform the FLR to, using the FLR user credentials. Copy the FLR agent from the vProxy to the Windows VM using one of the following methods: Connect to the vProxy as admin, using a Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) agent (FileZilla, WinSCP, so on). Copy the installation package from: /opt/emc/sw-repo/vflragent/windows Using command line on the Windows VM, if the scp command is available. Open an Administrator PowerShell prompt: scp admin@vPROXY_ADDRESS: /opt/emc/sw-repo/vflragent/windows/emc*.msi TARGET-DIRECTORY-DOWNLOAD-PATH Example: On the VM, right-click the emc-vProxy-FLRAgent package, and click Install . Click Yes if prompted by UAC regarding the package install. The FLR agent is displayed in Programs and Features from the Control Panel:
