I’m interested to know what other Commvault users doing with VM’s that fail to QUIESCE a VM during the backup. We have approx 300 each day that appear on the health report. Many of these are appliances and VM’s where VMTools does not support the OS. For these I was thinking of creating separate subclients that do not attempt the QUIESCE. However, for the others they seem to be intermittent issues so guessing they might be busy periods for the VM;s in question. 

 

I’m just intrigued to understand how other customers deal with QUIESCE issues. 

Hi @up114743,

Good day!

The quiesce snapshot will be attempted when you select Filesystem and application consistent backups on the subclient properties.

By default if quiesce snapshot fails we will fallback to snapshot without quiesce and protect the VM , Add a warning on the job.

If you don’t want these errors to occur as you said you can move those VM’s separate subclient and configure crash consistent backup

Go through the below document to get more details on this
