Error description
VMware snapshots are not always removed after a backup fails or some other underlying issue that keeps the backup from completing. This can cause a VM to have performance problems if too many snapshots stack up or they can take up extra datastore space. The VADP proxy log will show: [Originator@6876 sub=cleanup] Reconfigure attempt failed for VM "vm-208" with Vmomi::MethodFault::Exception ("vim.fault.InvalidDeviceSpec") Versions affected: 10.1.3 MDVPARTL - 10.1.2 Keywords: TS002250975 vddk snap shot
