Proper way to set up subclient in a VMware virtual client.

Hey @TP_Erickson !  I looked into the case (looking initially for a hard number of subclients that would be the issue).

However, your issue was an edge case around a prior update.

Here is the note for the initial update:

While opening VMWare subclient properties, GUI makes a call to get list of restore clients. After v2 was introduced, GUI started receiving all VMs part of vcenter mentioned in instance level of that subclient. This resulted in showing VMs in client computers list even if show vm option is unchecked on client computers customize view list.

and here’s the note from the update created for this issue:

Null exception due to lack of null check. Edge case regression due to form

Based on the above, it sounds like there was a null result in some form the Properties were trying to pull up, but there was no null check option….so since the item had a null value and the properties had no way of interpreting that result, it would never open.  The update for your edge case added a method of handling a null value.

I don’t have further detail, though let me know if you have any questions.

Regarding your grouping question, v2 VMs can run individual full from the vm instance via the GUI.
