IT24836: WHEN LARGE DATA ARE BACKED UP FOR A VM THEN THE MMC WILL DISPLAYA SERIES OF ERROR DIALOGS WHEN THAT NODE IS SELECTED IN THE UI.

Download Information: Version 8.1.4.x Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When 1TB or more data is backed up for a vm then the MMC will
  display a series of error dialogs when that node is selected in
  the UI.
  A backup / restore is still possible both in the ui and from the
  command line / powershell.But messages are not meaningful.
  
  Product affeceted:
  Data Protection for Microsoft Hyper-V 8.1.4
  

Local fix

• The workaround is to close the error dialogs when seen.
  This will reappear every time the view is refreshed and we auto
  refresh after various operations.
  
  This error dialog will be displayed several times per refresh.
  That number may vary depending on the number of entries that
  have data transmitted over 1TB.
