Summary

VMexplorer Instant Backup Test causes invalid VM Entries

Error

VMexplorer Instant Backup Test causes invalid VM entries

Cause

VMexplorer Instant Backup Test post backup is supposed to mount an NFS datastore, power on the virtual machine to confirm that the backup is valid.  But this seems to have issues in a situaiton where VMExplorer is managing only the ESX, yet the ESX itself is being managed by a vcenter that is NOT added to VMExplorer.

Fix

VMexplorer Instant Backup Test must have a Vcenter configured in VMExplorer.
