VMware 156 errors - BLIB not supported error

gustav

I'm getting very confused. In our environment we are getting numerous 156 errors on our VM backups. On looking at the bpfis log I am getting this error

VMware_freeze: BLIB is not supported.

This would be fine if it was true I would just turn block level incremental backup off and we would be ok, but the error is totally random, some nights the VMs will go through and do a BLIB backup, other nights I get that error, sometimes a re run will be successful other time I again get the error.

It's driving me mad - has anyone seen this? It's not true, becuase how is it not supported when it runs through ok sometimes, I hate these spurious error type messages.

 

best regards

What version of NBU are you running?

Do you have the latest nbu vmware rollup patch installed on the backup host?

If it is random try to upgrade the vmware tools or plain re-install. If they are truely at vmx-07 then this should work.

Hello, thanks for quick response

We are on NetBackup version 7.0 - EEB11 is installed on the off host proxy.
