Hi @Riadh_R17
What are you using as the backup host (operating system and version) and have you verified that it a supported backup host type (remember this is a VMware requirement not NetBackup)? See this article https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100046971.html
ANother thing to check is that there are RDM attached - see this article https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100050928.html
