Error description
If IBM Spectrum Protect Plus VM backup is failing and 're-run' button is used to repeat backup for certain VM(s), IBM Spectrum Protect Plus does not consider the excluded disk(s). Since the disk(s) will not be excluded on the 2nd run of the backup, the larger transfer size of the VM(s) can cause capacity constraints on the backup disk sub-system. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Versions Affected: IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 10.1.12 | MDVREGR 10.1.12.0 5737SPLUS |
Local fix
Run 'AdHoc' backup against the failed VM(s).
