      Hi Marianne,

      The VM backup host is a physical server.

        Apologies for my misunderstanding.

        The TN that I posted above should help you to troubleshoot.

        Go through the config and verify everything as if it's a new installation.

        Check Device Manager, NBU Policy config, etc...

        Lastly - enable VxMS log at increased logging level. 

  • Hi,

    Could be some intermittence in your SAN? This is strange, your backups are running by SAN transport mode and suddenly change to NBD....What changed in you environment in  1/6/2017 ??

    This TN above mentioned by  Marianne is very helpful to this cases.

    Regards,

     Thiago

        Seems like security/SSL issue between backup host and vCenter.
        Found this in VxMS log:

        07:37:18.0601 : g_vixInterfaceLogger:../libvix.cpp:1844 <DEBUG> : [VFM_ESINFO] 2017-06-14T07:37:18.601+08:00 [07944 error 'Default'] Cannot use advanced transport modes for XXXvc02.abc.com:443/moref=vm-14132/snapshot-47868: Other error encountered: SSL Exception: Verification parameters:

        See if this TN applies:  http://www.veritas.com/docs/000024646

        PS:

        You need to upgrade. All NBU versions up to 7.6.x reached EOSL 4 months ago.
