Error description
Increasing the VMDK disk size (over a power of 2 boundary) the second incremental backup of the vm can fail with ANS9919E Failed to find the expected control files for AB123. Customer/L2 Diagnostics (if applicable) dsmerror.log shows: 01/17/2017 09:47:04 ANS1512E Scheduled event '@8287' failed. Return code = 12. 01/17/2017 11:43:40 ANS9921E Virtual machine disk, AB123 (Hard Disk 3), verification check failed (2088058748928/2088055865344). 01/17/2017 11:43:40 ANS9919E Failed to find the expected control files for AB123. *NOTE* This looks like APAR IT05265 - "BACKUP VM" MAY FAIL TO PASS THE DISK VERIFICATION CHECK WITH ERRORS ANS9921E/ANS9919E but is different as this problem occurs with the disk changes where the cbt granularity is changed.
