IT32444: MISLEADING ERROR MESSAGE WHEN SAME VM IS BEING BACKEDUP IN TWO DIFFERENT SLAS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a VM is being backed up by two SLA at the same time the
  user will see an error similar to:
  The job <job name> failed because one or more jobs are currently
  backing up the virtual machines
  This error is misleading because the job will not be failed,
  only the VM will be skipped.
