VM backups failing with error code 84

Hello All,

In our environment we have many Linux master servers.  The VMbackups are getting failed with EC 84 for few vm clients daily ( not the same list daily but different list).  It happens only when the VM is getting migrated from one ESX to another ESX by DRS ( Distrubuted Resource Scheduler.  Also the failed backups are getting successful when it is migrated from one ESX to another ESX again.

Any thought on this?

Master servers : NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.7.2

VMbackup hosts : NetBackup-RedHat2.6.18 7.7.2

From Activity monitor please refer the below error 

 

10/02/2016 23:14:29 - Critical bptm (pid=xxxxx) A portion of data to be included from a previous backup (backupid = XXXXXXXXXXX_123456789, offset = xxxxxxx, length = xxxxx) has incorrect checksum (calculated checksum from backup image xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, expected checksum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

Hi,

Can you check is there any accumulated files of older dates under this path "usr/openv/netbackup/onlineutil/fi_cntl" in your backup off host server.

If you see older dates then move them to different location and try running the backups.

Please post us with the job details, i suppose it is failing after wirting some data or while updating the catalog in bpdbm.
