Hi guys.
I am trying to do the following setup; I have a vcenter with multiple hosts, so I created multiple datamovers and the idea
is to use each of the DMs to backup all vms of an specific host.
The goal here is to backup every vm on the vcenter, no matter on what host it is (DRS enabled environment).
This is working pretty well, but there are some VMs that I need to exclude, and for now the only solution I found is to manually exclude the VM from each DM opt, here is an explame.
So.. now if I want to exclude another VM I have to go over all the OPT files to add the exclusion. I have more than 50 DMs, so it's quite a job.
I was thinking about a cloptset assigned to all the DMs with the DOMAIN.VMFULL line..but doesn't seems to work since the client will only process the first DOMAIN.VMFULL line.
So anyone with a similar setup and a more original solution?
Thank you!

Code:
DM_1 OPT:
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOST=host1.vcenter;-VM=EXCLUDED_VM
DM_2_OPT:
DOMAIN.VMFULL VMHOST=host2.vcenter;-VM=EXCLUDED_VMSo.. now if I want to exclude another VM I have to go over all the OPT files to add the exclusion. I have more than 50 DMs, so it's quite a job.
