SBE12 - vmware indipendent disk
- 12 years ago
Hi
Please check the link below which shows as not supported which you know , but the link gives reason why it is not supported ,So as per your Question above you can explain this is to do something with vmware and not backup exec.
The above error is caused because, as per VMWare: "snapshots of raw disks, RDM physical mode disks, and independent disks are not supported". For more information, refer to the vSphere Basic System Administration guide, Section 17. http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40_u1/vsp_40_u1_admin_guide.pdf
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH124365
So only the way for now is to exclude it as per the above technote or you can backup that virtual machine as a Physical machine by installing remote agent & then doing backup of it
Thanks
