Hello,

When I use the rest API : {{ServerUrl}}/VM  to get all the VM’s state, I have different result from console interface.

Part of result for one VM : dvbvcnsxeu0e002.

        {
            "type": 9,
            "vmStatus": 2,
            "slaStatus": 2,
            "subclientId": 2158,
            "name": "dvbvcnsxeu0e002",
            "storagepolicyName": "IN_NTR_CIT_GRID_A01_A01_STD",
            "slaCategory": 4,
            "latestBackupTimeCatalogedSuccessfully": 0,
            "isIndexingV2": false,
            "vmBackupJob": 0,
            "strOSName": "Ubuntu Linux (64-bit)  ",
            "isDeleted": false,
            "osType": 2,
            "slaCategoryDescription": "No Schedule",
            "retireClientPhase": 0,
            "isContentIndexded": false,
            "isBackupAllowed": true,
            "vmHardwareVer": "vmx-13",
            "strGUID": "50335735-240e-0201-6b4f-e2c0dcdc1e51",
            "subclientName": "default",
../..
            "vsaSubClientEntity": {
                "backupsetId": 575,
                "subclientId": 2158,
                "subclientName": "default",
                "entityInfo": {
                    "companyId": 0,
                    "companyName": "",
                    "multiCommcellId": 0
                }
            },
            "client": {
                "clientId": 935,
                "clientName": "dvbvcnsxeu0e002",
                "displayName": "dvbvcnsxeu0e002",
                "entityInfo": {
                    "companyId": 0,
                    "companyName": "",
                    "multiCommcellId": 0
                }
            },
../..
            "lastBackupJobInfo": {
                "jobID": 101677,
                "commCellID": 2,
                "failureReasonMessageEnglish": "",
                "status": 1,
                "startTime": {
                    "time": 1652112203,
                    "entityInfo": {
                        "companyId": 0,
                        "companyName": "",
                        "multiCommcellId": 0
                    }
                },
                "endTime": {
                    "time": 1652112329,
                    "entityInfo": {
                        "companyId": 0,
                        "companyName": "",
                        "multiCommcellId": 0
                    }
                }
            },

 

As you can see, the last job backup info status give us : "jobID": 101677 , with "status": 1

But in the console, the only job I have is :

 

The backup jobid is 101828 and not the same with the API . In the other hand, the backup jobid from APi 101677 is unknown into console (righ click on commcell name / view / job history with aged option).

 

So my questions are :

  • Why there are not the same ?
  • Can you give me all the status value/signification for “lastbackupjobinfo” struct ?
  • Why "vmBackupJob": 0 I hope here a valid value

From you documentation,

The field vmstatus meaning : “the status of the backup for virtual machine” , and the value “2” mean “in progress”. But this still completed since May.

 

Regards,

@mjc  - Would you provide us with the Commvault version being used (please include maintenance pack)? 

Hello,

 

My current version is : 11.24.60

 

Thanks,

My guess is v1 vs v2 indexing.

 

every virtual machine backup consists of two job ids. The subclient backup of the vcenter instance and the jobid associated with the vcenter instance.

 

i would assume that they match on v2 indexing clients and disagree on v1 indexing or vice-versa.  

the reason why the jobid would be unknown is that the vcenter subclient job is considered an “admin job” and the pseudoclient job is considered a standard job.

 

i would search for the missing job under admin job history. 
 

just a guess though.

@chrisknows , thanks, for you answer. You’r right for the 2 jobs, but in my case, one of them is empty.

"vmBackupJob": 0,

Some time (no comment about this ^^) this field containt the jobid for the VM and lastBackupJobInfo containt effectivly the jobid for the subclient.
