IT30936: BACKUP OF SINGLE VM TRIGGERS BACKUP OF UNSELECTED VM(S)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During an IBM Spectrum Protect Plus backup operation, a VM
  with a disk being excluded from the backup can trigger
    the backup of unselected VM's found in the same SLA policy.
    In order for this to happen, the following criteria needs
    to be met:
  
      * A single VM needs to be backed up from an SLA policy
        that has more than one VM.
      * The selected VM must have a disk that is being excluded.
      * The unselected VM's, found in the same SLA policy as the
        selected VM, must have disks that are being excluded.
  
    When a single VM is selected to be backed up that has an
    excluded disk, IBM Spectrum Protect Plus will backup the
    selected VM, plus any unselected VM found in the SLA policy.
    that has excluded disks as well.
  IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected:
