Symptômes

While upgrading PowerProtect Data Manager from version 19.14 to 19.15, after core services are upgraded, the next step is to upgrade VM Direct Protection Engines. 

The job responsible for VM Direct Protection Engine upgrade may fail with error messages similar to the following: 
Failed to complete the software update.
UPG0037 -
VM Direct Protection Engines update failed, Unable to update protection engine 'HostName/IPAddress' - AutoUpgrade request unsuccessful. Unable to AutoUpgrade vProxy. Unable to deploy vProxy HostName/IPAddress. Unable to deploy VM. Unable to delete the vProxy 'Hostname/IPAddress' from the vCenter server. Found VM with Moref 'VirtualMachine:MorefNumber' but it is not managed by our component. This can be due to a misconfiguration. VM found to have no ExtensionKey, but expected 'com.emc.vproxy.visd'.
Remediation: Contact Dell Customer Support.
 

Cause

This happens when at some point of time a virtual machine got unregistered from VMware vCenter and then got registered again. As a result ExtensionKey assigned to virtual machine is not applicable anymore.

Résolution

To resolve this issue, delete virtual machine (VM Direct Protection Engine) from VMware vCenter and redeploy using PowerProtect Data Manager User Interface. 

More information about deploying and or redeploying VM Direct Protection Engine can be found in the PowerProtect Data Manager Virtual Machine User Guide.

After VM Direct Protection Engine has been redeployed, restart PowerProtect Data Manager upgrade process.
