Ok, I was looking too deep at this.  The problem ended up being one of
two things so far.

1.)     The networker server was unable to do a reverse lookup against
the client, as the vcb server couldn't do a reverse lookup either.
2.)     Vmware tools were not installed on some of the clients

If I find any other solutions I will post them also.

Subject: [Networker] VCB Backup Failure

Hello,

 

I'm trying to backup a new server through vcb and it's failing, below is
the error message:

 

--- Unsuccessful Save Sets ---

 

* server:*FULL* Initializing VCB Configuration..

* server:*FULL* VCESX Host Name        : 

* server:*FULL* VCESX Port             : 443

* server:*FULL* VCESX Username         : vcbbkup

* server:*FULL* Mount point             : F:\mntserver

* server:*FULL* Flavor                  : fullvm

* server:*FULL* Transport Mode          : san

* server:*FULL* Snap policy             : automatic

* server:*FULL* Max retry               : 0

* server:*FULL* Performing a FULL Image level backup.

* server:*FULL* Unable to get the moref for the VM host:
server.Pre-existing Snapshot could not be deleted.

 

Unfortunately, I'm running into this same issue on some other vm's I'm
backing up, but this is a brand new vm so it has no pre-existing
snapshot.  I've already made sure that when backups run the vcb proxy
server folder is empty, I've even run vcbcleanup.bat to make sure
everything is cool, but this error keeps popping up.

 

Has anyone run into this before?
