IT36010: MANUAL BACKUP (RUN BUTTON) NOR AD-HOC BACKUPS ARE POSSIBLE IF ENTIRE VM NOT ALLOCATED TO SLA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Attempting to use the "RUN" button, or run an ad-hoc backup
  does not show a VM if only one or more specific VMDK's are
  
  included in the SLA.
  
  If the SLA is added to the VM itself,
  this problem does not occur.
  
  Example.
  
  VM1 has 3 VMDK's.
  Only Disk 1 is assigned to the SLA.
  
  Neither an ad-hoc backup,
  or using the RUN button to run a none scheduled backup are
  possible.
  
  Versions affected: 10.1.x
