Error description
The unexpected transport mode may be chosen for "backup vm" even though it is explicitly excluded from "vmvstortransport" or "-vmvstortransport" option string. For example, even though "vmvstortransport san" is specified in dsm.opt, "backup vm" may start using nbd transport (LAN) unexpectedly. The following logs can be seen in the client trace file by specifying VM VM_DETAIL trace classes. >>> YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss.sss [.....] [....] : vmbackvddk.cpp (7418): vmVddkFullVMOpenVMDKs: Setting VDDK transport to 'san' ...
