Hello, everyone!
One user has reported his backup tasks to fail for several VMs with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.2 and CentOS Linux release 7.2 installed. At the same time with backup creation failure affected VM hangs and becomes unresponsive to the console. Only forced reboot helps to bring the VM back to operation.
The solution is implemented as a workaround in the PV driver for Linux OS. Disk snapshots of multi-core VM are available, memory snapshots are not implemented.
To resolve the problem update PV driver on affected VMs to V1.3.10.160 and later.
Since the snapshot creation issue is resolved by this solution, the backup creation issue in eBackup is also resolved.
