Instructions
The DPA "
Backup VMs Not Backed Up" report may return "No results found" when it is run against Avamar even if the Avamar is configured to back up many virtual machines (VMs) in the environment. Running the same report against the environment's vCenter may return a full list of VMs. This list can include VMs that were successfully backed up along with VMs that have not been backed up.
The report is functioning as designed.
The "
Backup VMs Not Backed Up" report was created as part of the VMware integration with NetWorker for DPA 6.2. The "Successful Backup Job Details for Virtual Hosts" data source (used within the "Backup VMs Not Backed Up" report) queries using a NetWorker-specific field (f_proxy in the view_backupjob table). Avamar collection requests do not populate this field, so this data source does not return any data if running against Avamar hosts.
