Instant Access for vmware problem

Hi, I have netbackup 10.4 to protect vmware workloads. my primary and media server are installed on rhel 8.10 and storage unit is msdp. when I create instant access virtual machine and start job I get this errors: error nbmwc /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions failed (1): unable to importostimage. could not import the ost image id. /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/cata2map failed (38) failed to create an instant access virtual machine (vm). (4004)

my storage is msdp and it's accessible. vcenter credential is ok and backup jobs are ok. in recovery target I changed display name and I checked create a new bios and instance uuid.

vpfs_actions log: error system_utils._wrappedpopen /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/cata2map failed (38): error vpfs.fs.sharecommands could not import the ost image id /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/cata2map failed (38):

    my problem was sector size of msdp volume that is 4096

    I installed new media server and everything is OK

  • Hi, thanks for your quick response. yes BYOD

    RHEL 8.10
    podman-docker, nfs-utils, nginx is installed from valid local repository
    selinux is disabled

  • Personally, I'm not able to help you as I do not have experience.

    If no one else can assist you, I suggest opening a case with Veritas support.

      Hi

      There was a user spws ...

      check this out

      grep spws /etc/sudoers

      is it there?

      You can also try again 

      /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/ia_byo_precheck.sh

      followed by /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_config.sh --configure_byo

      I think this can be run many times...

      Hmm

      This can be the 'wall' you are hitting... Can you do yum update?

      Or try to upgrade RH to latest release? but if you are amateur on Linux I think you should seek help form an experienced Linux admin.
