IT17093: INCORRECT SNAPSHOT TYPE AND MISSING LOG TRUNCATION FOR APPLICATION PROTECTED DATA AFTER SUCCESSFUL SNAPSHOT RETRY.

Download Information: Version 8.1.0 IBM Spectrum Protectâ„¢ for Virtual Environments
IBM Spectrum Protect client 7.1.6.x interim fix downloads

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Note: This affects VMWare guest backups using Application
  Protection
  
  Snapshot retry attempt is configurable with the
  include.vmsnapshotattemps option. For application protection,
  only quiesced snapshots should be used.  This is the first
  positional parameter.
  
  A problem has been discovered if non quiesced, the second
  positional parameter, is set and used by an Application
  Protected VM.  If a snapshot is successfully backed up on a
  retry attempt using a non quiesced snapshot, the type of
  snapshot registered will incorrectly be of type quieced. However
  log truncation will not occur.
  

Local fix

• Do not set non quiesced snapshot attempts for VM guests being
  backed up using application protection.
