Effect of Primary VM identifier parameter on VM Name column in Test query results
This topic applies to policy configuration for NetBackup for VMware. You can use the Query Builder to enter rules for the automatic selection of VMware virtual machines for backup. You can use the Test Query screen to test the rules.
The policy's Primary VM identifier parameter affects the type of virtual machine name that appears in the VM Name column of the Test Query screen, as follows:
If a virtual machine is EXCLUDED or FAILED, it is listed according to its virtual machine display name. The Primary VM identifier parameter does not matter.
But if a virtual machine is listed as INCLUDED, note: The name that appears under VM Name is the type of name that is specified on the Primary VM identifier parameter.
For example: If the Primary VM identifier parameter is VM hostname, the included virtual machine is listed according to its host name. Even if the query rule specified Display name (such as Displayname Equal "vm1"), the virtual machine appears on the Test Query screen by its host name.
