Right click the instance within the hypervisor cliënt, select properties and go to access node tab to view assigned nodes and frel.

 

Or check the proxy column shown in your printscreen.

Looks to be an error coming from VDDK library. Can you check the VDDK logs (vixdisklib.log) to get more info.

Hi Abhiman,

Out of interest what Service Pack / Feature Release version are you running on?

Question: we have a backup job that before failed and the error was Could not read data from the virtual disk.

The backup job took 40 hours before it failed.

Is there anything in the active job that will tell me the backup job will fail again with the error Could not read data from the virtual disk ?
