Communications with VMware VirtualCenter instance for the refresh information on the VMware view in NMC are done by nsrvim(1m) program over SOAP. It is normally run automatically by nsrtask(1m) as specified by a nsr_hypervisor(5) resource. Any errors in the relevant logs?
What are the exactly versions and build of NW server, NMC,VBA, VC , ESX ? Is this a new installation/deployment of NetWorker/VBA or an upgrade?
You may check NW158956 and NetWorker Bug 192590 which can be appropriate. Both planned a fix for future releases.
Because of the incompatibility of a NetWorker 8.1 SP1 or earlier OVA with the NetWorker 8.2 VMware Backup Appliance when configured in the same vCenter. OVA is not compatible with Networker Build used.
Decomission the appliance in the Networker Management Console, shutdown networker server, restart networker server, and from the appliance web gui, re-register the appliance with the Networker server. If you have some proxies, you will have to reboot them and while booting, re-register them with the appliance.
I know this is like getting out from a car that doesn't start, close the door, re-open the door, and restart the car, but it worked.er
Edit : by the way, I updated my Networker server in 8.2.1, everything still works like a charm even if the new OVA are not available.

I found the solution. Now it works like a charm.
Decomission the appliance in the Networker Management Console, shutdown networker server, restart networker server, and from the appliance web gui, re-register the appliance with the Networker server. If you have some proxies, you will have to reboot them and while booting, re-register them with the appliance.
