Netbackup and vCenter: Failed VM backup

Good day to all.

I am new to Netbackup appliance, i would like to ask help how to fix the VM policy which failed to backup my VMs via vCenter 5.5.

Configuration that I did are;

1. Netbackup Appliance 5230 2.6.1.2 and NBU 7.6.1.2, configured as Master and Media Server.

2. Set the appliance as the VM backup host.

3. Set the vCenter Credential

4. Install NBU client 7.6.1.2 in vCenter server, define the NBU 5230 name as the master server.

5. Add vCenter IP and hostname in NBU 5230 host list

6. Created VM Policy, add the vCenter server name. 

     - add client, schedule

7. No firewall between the appliance and vCenter.

8. NBD is the transport mode.

9. Installed and use Java admin console 7.6.1.2 to access the appliance from another VM machine.

 

After I run the policy, I got the errro message "status: 6: the backup failed to back up the requested files"
