Hello @Egor Skepko ,

 

The VM Backup process is using the vsbkp (VirtualServer Backup) executable/binary on the VSA Proxies here. 

You’ll want to check this log (vsbkp.log) on the VSA Proxies around the timestamps stated in the Events. - This would most likely be caused by a failure, crash or connectivity issue.

For Linux the log will be in /var/log/commvault/Log_Files/ 
For Windows the log is most likely in C:\Program Files\Commvault\ContentStore\Base\

 

Best Regards,

Michael

Hi @Egor Skepko,

 

I’d suggest checking the vsbkp.log on the machine “sv1757” also here. - From your screenshot it looks like you have 3x VSA Proxies configured:

@MichaelCapon Yes we using 4 acces nodes for the vm backup. We have differents subclients and one of then with 250 vm's. Do you suggest to use 1 acces node per subclient instead of 4?

Hi @Egor Skepko 

We’ll need to check the vsbkp.log on each of the VSA Proxies here, to tell what happened on each machine to cause the message(s).

 

I’d suggest keeping multiple VSA Proxies per-subclient or at the Instance level. - This gives better scaling benefits (performance, fault tolerance and load balancing) and the VSA Co-Ordinator (Usually the first VSA Proxy) will distribute the VM’s to VSA Proxies with best access/transport.

 

Best Regards,

Michael
