Hi All,
I'm also facing same issue with few of 2008 R2 based virtual machines. I'm able to take manual snapshot from vCenter but when I run the scheduled backup job for the same it fails with the same error every time.
I've tried so far -
- checked vssadmin, it is fine with no errors.
- checked all the services as par KB 1007696.
- repaired vmware tools and rebooted the vm, no success.
- vMotioned VMs to other hosts but no improvmenet.
- completely removed and reinstalled the vmware tools and still same error.
Generally backup issues used to slove with either restarting vmware tools service or repairing them. But few of these 2008 R2 machines, I'm not able to fix the issue. There's no independent disks are configured for these machines.
We're using Tivoli TSM for VE.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Jit
