Hello all,
I continue to find new vStorage API backup nuances for
Netbackup 7 (most recently discover vCenter crendentails are insufficient to
backup lab manager deployed VM’s, you need to run as root on the ESX servers
themselves).
Now I’ve noticed that if you backup a client using ESX
Server credentials, instead of vCenter credentials, restoring to an
alternate location fails.
What happens is:
1)
The backup completes normally
2)
Select the guest image for restore, and the
backup server as the destination client, and start the Virtual Machine Recovery
wizard
3)
Select “Alternate Location” on the first screen, and
then “Next”
4)
The next screen hangs trying to populate the Datstore
and Resource Pool dropdown menus (needed to perform the alternate location
restore)
Anyone know if this expected or is there a timeout/etc that
needs to be adjusted? I have checked the bpvmutil logs, and I see the
following errors:
-
SYM_VMC_ERROR: FAILED_TO_GET_MOR_BY_NAME
-
bpVMutil main: EXIT STATUS 11: system call failed
-
vmcGetObjDetails for HostRoot failed with status 14
Thanks,
Jon
