Unregistering the registered vCenter Server account

Do not unregister the vCenter Server account by using the Register Server function of the GUI

tool during the backup operation with VSS Provider.

Prior to deleting S-VOL/V-VOL, confirm that RDM has not been connected to a virtual machine

other than the virtual machine in which the GUI tool is used by the S-VOL/V-VOL to be deleted.

NOTE:

All-Paths-Down (APD) or Permanent Device Loss (PDL) occurs if you delete

S-VOL/V-VOL which connected as RDM to another virtual machine by using the GUI tool.

Prior to deleting the target S-VOL/V-VOL, confirm that RDM has not been connected to another

virtual machine by using vSphere Client.

If VSS provider is used in the multiple virtual machines on the same ESXi at the same time,

instance number of RAID Manager should be different for each virtual machine.

For the details, see "Points to note when using VMware Guest to Guest Backup (FC) function"

in subsection 3.2.3.

If the following error message is output in the VSS provider log, this error may fall under the

points to note stated above. In this case, review instance number of RAID Manager of each

virtual machine.

ERROR [E1000149] {CHiCommandProcessor::GetRaidcomXError}:Raidcom operation

returned an error response. Error: [Raidcom Error# 8

raidcom: [EX_OPTINV] A specified option is invalid

Using up to four virtual machines operating on the same ESXi at the same time is

recommended.

If one of the following conditions is applied, check the usage status of VSS provider of other

virtual machines on the same ESXi and GUI tool.

Conditions:

Failed to backup and the following message is output to VSS provider log.

An error occurs in the GUI tool and the following message is output to the VSS provider log.

INFO [I1000031] {CHiCCI::CommandRetry(54321)}:returns: [5(10) :

[EL_CMDIOE] Control command I/O error, or rejected.

For the virtual machine in which VSS Provider/GUI tool are changing the configuration, do not

change the configuration by using vSphere Client and so on at the same time.
