Troubleshooting

NetVault Service fails to start on Windows NetVault Service fails to start after the machine is restarted NetVault Service starts, but stops immediately on Linux Linux Hybrid version of the plug-in does not run on 64-bit OS Crash occurs during a backup CBT-based image-level backup fails SAN transport reports errors when multiple backups access the same datastore Default SCSI controller type on RHEL 7 and RHEL 6 File-level backups do not back up data for a reparse point Restore job fails when using SAN transport Restore job fails to add a virtual machine to the server inventory or to the alternate standalone ESXi Server Disk type is always Thick Provision Eager Zeroed after restoring an image-level backup Backup jobs of virtual machines protected by vSphere FT fail intermittently RDM disks are restored to VMDK files Unable to consolidate image-level backups Restore job fails on Linux when file size exceeds 50 MB Web Service process displays message that indicates the server is unavailable Installing an update puts the VMware Vstor2 MntApi driver into an inconsistent state Backing up and restoring encrypted disks Backing up a cloned virtual machine that has the same UUID Backing up virtual machines that are protected by vSphere FT Error using VVols with a storage array Backup proxy opens in NBD mode instead of HotAdd transport mode

Diagnosing virtual machine issues SOAP messages Generating VDDK logs

Web Service process displays message that indicates the server is unavailable

If the Diagnose Virtual Machine method is unable to return any result within the timeout interval (five minutes), the Web Service process displays the following message: “Error: The remote machine: <Name of the NetVault Server> is unavailable”

You can close this dialog box to continue the current operation. In the background, the Diagnose Virtual Machine method runs the cleanup process to remove any snapshot that it has created.

Installing an update puts the VMware Vstor2 MntApi driver into an inconsistent state

Installing an update of the plug-in puts the VMware Vstor2 MntApi driver into an inconsistent state.

If you are using a Windows-based proxy server, restart the server after you remove a VDDK. If you try to install or remove the VMware Vstor2 MntApi driver without restarting the server, you might encounter an error. For more information, see http://pubs.vmware.com/Release_Notes/en/developer/vddk/65/vsphere-vddk-65-release-notes.html.

Before installing the latest version of the plug-in, complete the following steps:

1

Remove the existing version of the plug-in.

2

Check the status of VMware Vstor2 MntApi driver.

3

If the driver is present, delete it.

4

Install the latest version of the plug-in.

Backing up and restoring encrypted disks

Support of virtual-machine encryption became available starting with vSphere 6.5; however, the plug-in does not support backup and restore of encrypted disks.

Backing up a cloned virtual machine that has the same UUID

When a virtual machine is cloned outside the vCenter Server, it may have the same UUID as the original virtual machine. If this cloned virtual machine is selected for a backup, the plug-in may back up the original virtual machine instead of the clone.

To correct this issue, you must change the UUID of the cloned virtual machine. For more information about changing the UUID of a virtual machine, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1002403.
