VMWare backup error: the backup failed to back up the requested files(6)

Lots to read there but at the end of the last log it says this:

[The host is not licensed for this feature]
 

And the first and second logs says this: ERR - Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: Status 23

Plus invalid option: -block_incr
 

So there is something in how you have the job setup that is incorrect - tell us all of the options you have setup in your policy so that we can pin down where the error is  - it could just be bad credentials to you vCenter server causing all of this

follows the policy settings in Appendix bppllist printscreen and the police

Regards

looks like you are using the SAN transport...

some more details please

1)what is the netbackup version and OS  in backup host?

2) what is the Vcenter version and VM hardware version?

3) does this all Storage LUNs that are mapped to ESXi hosts are mapped to Backup host too?

4) what is the Storage you are using?

Based on two of the logs saying it cannot be backed up using the selected method - which on the policy is SAN - then either the media server (VMware Backup Host) cannot see the datastore that client is located on - or that client is on local storage - or it is a template - or similar issue that prevents it being backed up via the SAN

Try it using NBD first as a check that the vCenter rights are actually good enough to perform the backup - if that works you then need to identify why it cannot backup via the SAN

environment:

1. Backup host OS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise

2. Vcenter version 5.0 hadware version ESX 5.0

3. Yes

4. HP 3PAR

Have you tried a nbd backup for this client yet?

yes the backup gave the same error

environment:

1. Backup host OS Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise

2. Vcenter version 5.0 hadware version ESX 5.0

3. Yes

4. HP 3PAR

The strange thing is that I can make up other vms these same conditions successfully
