VMware Intelligent Policy filter to exclude VMs with PCI pass through

Hi,

we are using VIP to backups hundreds of VMware VMs. Some have PCI pass through devices like GPUs, VMware can not snapshot those and the backups fail (status 156). Is there a way to automatically exclude these VMs?

  • Hi,

    Yes you can exclude them by editing the query builder

      Do you have an example for the query? I know I can exclude them by their DisplayName or similar, what I want is exclude them by the property of having a PCI pass through device, maybe that was not clear.

        I don't think you can do that..

        you may want to add those specific VMs to a folder (Vmware) and then exclude the folder in the query..
