Hello,

we tried to backup VMs created without disks, the VMs are booting with PXE. The backup was not successful. I do not have any further details at the moment, but is it possible to backup these VMs?

 

Thank you.

Regards,Thomas

Please try this additional setting: https://documentation.commvault.com/additionalsetting/details?name=%22allowVMWithoutDisks%22&id=6614
Add it on the VSA proxy.

Hello,

we have Nutanix AHV VMs not VMWare VMs and the key did not solve the issue.

Hello ​@ThomasG We don’t have any other specific additional key for Nutanix. 

Best,

Hello Rajiv,

did I understand it correctly that there is no key to backup Nutanix AHV VMs without disks, even if the key works with VMware VMs? How should this be explained to a customer during a migration from VMware to Nutanix? Will this key be available for Nutnanix in the future?

Thank you and regards, Thomas
