vProtect: Task (EXPORT) was not performed within the requested time
Summary: vProtect-Task (EXPORT) was not performed within the requested time.
Symptoms
Cause
From the vprotect_daemon.log, there is below key error message:
"[2021-03-08 11:00:06.926] INFO [pool-6-thread-2] QueueManager.logLowDiskSpaceForExport:207[] Temporarily skipping tasks of type EXPORT - remaining staging space is less than 10% (17.3 TiB left)"
So exports are being terminated due to minimum space threshold being exceeded.
Resolution
10% of the staging space still has 17.3 TB, so lower the threshold value.
- Go to vProtect UI->Nodes->Node Configurations
- Under the general tab, change the Min. free space for export from 10% to 1% or even 0%
Additional Information
Another possible reason for this error is when the hypervisor is OVM:
You can perform only one export task for OVM, the export would be waiting in the queue when vProtect is still exporting other VMs at the scheduled time, and the export would be canceled and showing failed with this error in the KB subject according to the set timeout in node configuration.
