IT26995: ERROR "SEVERAL VALUES DETECTED FOR THE OPTIONS <OPTION>" NEEDS ADDITIONAL DETAIL

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Backups of virtual machines that have VMware tags defined at
  different levels (ie. VM and DATASTORE) and those tags
  have conflicting values cause the following error to be
   written to the job log:
  "Several values detected for the options
  makeApplicationConsistent.
  Please ensure that this is fixed (ex. tag options datastore
  options)"
  The message is written for all VM tags defined and each
  individual VM. This can cause the job log to fill up
  with this message repeated several hundred times
  depending on the number of VM's in the SLA.
  Versions affected: 10.1.2
  Keywords:  TS001573190
