Recently upgraded to 7.5 and now the VM browsing doesn't work?

I have windows 2008 R2 x64 Master and an MSDP server which acts as a backup host.

 

I recently upgraded them to 7.5 and since then the browse feature didn't work.

 

If you have a large VMware environment then you have likely enable the registry key "DisableIPResolution" - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH128037

 

The upgrade appears to now require that this registry key to be a "DWORD (32-bit) Value" with the data value of 1 INSTEAD of a string value.

 

If you don't change this then you will likely see the following error in the bpVMutil log:

11:48:13.485 [4520.5008] checkBackupRegEntry: searching configuration for disableIPResolution
11:48:13.485 [4520.5008] get_integer_value failed
11:48:13.485 [4520.5008] checkBackupRegEntry: searching configuration for UseNicIpaddress
11:48:13.485 [4520.5008] get_integer_value failed

Hope this helps those that upgrade to 7.5 and face this issue

Cheers
