APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
In some failure modes, a VM can fail during the inventory job. Failure is visible in the inventory job log and the Virgo log for that VM. Nevertheless, the backup job continues, and this results in an orphan full backup for that VM, consuming more space than is necessary on the vSnap. This affects all versions of IBM Spectrum Protect Plus from 10.1.0 to 10.1.7.
Local fix
Orphan backups can be manually cleaned up on the vSnap.

Problem conclusion
Error handling for the error message: "UNABLE_GET_CATALOGED_VIRTUAL_MACHINE" in a backup job was corrected to ensure that the VM fails immediately if it can't be resolved or inventoried.
