NetBackup job fails due to update tasks on the VMware server

Certain virtual machine update tasks on the VMware server may cause a NetBackup job to fail. For example, a restore may fail when you use the nbrestorevm command to restore multiple VMs at the same time. If the failed restore job creates the VM, the VM is deleted.

On the backup or restore host, the bpVMutil log may contain a message similar to the following:

Detail: <ManagedObjectNotFoundFault xmlns="urn:vim25"
xsi:type="ManagedObjectNotFound"><obj type="VirtualMachine">
vm-14355</obj>
        </ManagedObjectNotFoundFault>

As a workaround, rerun the job for the operation that failed.

Note:

If possible, avoid VMware maintenance activities during backup or restore operations.

See NetBackup logging for VMware.
