Error description

  • During a virtual machine backup the following error may be seen:

    'MachineOne'.
       TSM function name : VixDiskLib_Cleanup
       TSM file          : vmvddksdk.cpp (1685)
       API return code   : 26
       API error message : Unable to connect to the host
    ANS9365E VMware vStorage API error for virtual machine
    'MachineOne'.
       TSM function name : VixDiskLib_Open
       TSM file          : vmvddksdk.cpp (1735)
       API return code   : 3014
       API error message : Insufficient permissions in the host
    operating system
    
    These errors occur during the clients internal processing to
    cleanup the virtual machines.
    The errors, in this specific case, are not caused by a
    permission's problem.

    VM trace will show the following trace point repeated up to 20
    times. The numRemainingP will always show '5'
    vmvddksdk.cpp (1688): vddksdkCleanup: numCleanedUpP '0',
    numRemainingP '5'

    * Remove the looping around the VixDiskLib_Cleanup.            *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • The ba client will loop (up to 20 times) on the call to
    VixDiskLib_Cleanup trying to get the numRemaining down to zero.
    This was not needed and will be removed.
