IT43370: WHEN PUSHING THE RE-RUN BUTTON AFTER BACKUP FAILURE THE EXCLUDED DISK(S) WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

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).
