Discovery fails for policies with queries that contain "&" in VM displayName values
VM discovery fails for VMware policies with queries that contain & (ampersand characters) in the VM displayName value. This behavior occurs when you use the NetBackup web UI to create a VMware Intelligent Policy with the Query Builder.
Workaround:
To configure a VMware Intelligent Policy that uses & in the VM displayName value, use the NetBackup Administration Console. Alternatively, you can create a policy that specifies the particular VMware VM rather than using the Intelligent Policy method.
