Versions
- VMWare vCenter 7.0.2
- Commvault V11.20.55.
VDDK 7.0.0 is used for restore. On media agents in CommVault\Simpana\Base\VMWARE\VDDK directory I found version 7.0.0.
This version has a problem with SAN transport restores. (https://kb.commvault.com/article/67381)
In KB article VDDK 6.7.3 should be used, this is not possible becaue 7.0.0 is automatic used.

How can I force a VDDK version?
And bug is fixed in VDDK 7.0.1. (https://vdc-download.vmware.com/vmwb-repository/dcr-public/91cc8936-cbd5-4f61-9a24-6b9b9e8cd63a/07ff0eec-8401-485e-bab3-5ca4db49905f/VDDK-701-ReleaseNotes.html)
"SAN mode restore not supported for clustered VMDK.
A datastore marked clusteredvmdk was no longer writable in VMFS6, due to SCSI reservations on the physical LUN, so restore did not proceed. Note that MSCS clustering works without clusteredvmdk. It is not required for backup. If users set Clustered VMDK to Enabled in vSphere Client > Configure > Datastore Capabilities, VDDK 6.7 hangs with a Windows proxy, or returns an error with a Linux proxy. VDDK 7.0 tried to fix the problem by rejecting SAN writes to that datastore, however 7.0 also rejects SAN writes with Disabled set. In 7.0.1, VDDK allows SAN writes with Disabled set."
I would be able to download 7.0.2 manually and install (https://documentation.commvault.com/11.22/expert/32585_frequently_asked_questions_for_virtual_server_agent_with_vmware.html#b32591_how_do_i_manually_install_new_version_of_vddk_on_vsa_proxy).
Where can I find information which VDDK version is used in which service pack or hotfix pack?
