Hello, I am testing backups of an OpenBSD 7.1 guest on VMWare 6.7 with a DELL Avamar appliance, using the vmimage functionality of the device. The OpenBSD backups complete with 'exceptions', the error code being 10020. What I see in the Avamar logs is the following: -- vSphere Task failed (application quiesce): 'An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. See the vitual machine's event log for details.'. Application consistent snapshot quiesce failure. The VM could not be quiesced prior to snapshot creation and this backup may not be used as a base for subsequest CBT backup if successful. --
Does the OpenBSD VMware tools driver VMT(4) support the VMWare quiesce command? Looking through the vmt.c code I believe it does. During my testing of the backup and doing ad-hoc snapshots, I did see the following message on the OpenBSD guest console once - 'vmt0: aborting quiesce'. Thanks, Mike
