As another test, from the vCentre Box, can you take a Snapshot of this
particular VM Server?

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Failed VMWare ESX Backup

Dear all,

I want to ask about VMWare ESX Backup which is failed during the
snapshot creation of the wirtual machine (VM).

FACTS & FIGURES

Master Server:
OS: IBM AIX (oslevel 5300-12-04-1119)
NetBackup 7.1

Media Server & Veritas Backup Host:
OS: Windows 2003 x64
NetBackup 7.1

Client/Machine to be backed up:
VMWare ESXi 4.1


DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM

I have many VM(s) in my VMWare ESXi 4.1.
Some of them are failed to be backed up.
Usually, when the backup is successfully finished, it will have 2 job ID
(parent & child), but for some VM(s) which is failed, it only has 1
parent job ID and the error is "Snapshot error encountered" (156).

I've already simulated the successful & failed backup respectively and
you can find the log files are attached to this email.
During the simulation, the 'verbose' parameter in bp.conf was set to 5.

Please help me solve this problem.
Thank you.

Best Regards,
 Adrian
