vRanger 7.7 and VMware vSAN/VVOL 6.7 compatibility (4042136)

After upgrading Virtual Center and ESXi hosts to 6.7 Update 1 you may experience the following error messages when using VSAN or VVOL providers:

• The backups fail with the same message: "Failure creating datastore lock, invalid data store type for VM: VirtualMachine vm-XXX DiskInfo: VMFS=False NAS=False"
• The restores fail with the following message: "Error: The datastore was not found on host "

In the latest release of VMware Sphere 6.7 Update 1 VMware has changed the way the versioning was formatted. Due to this change, all vRanger operations may fail with errors when using VSAN/VVOL storage. 

This has been fixed as a part of the vRanger 7.7.1 release. You can download the new version here.
