Solución:

Se lanzó una corrección de código para omitir el disco sin formato.

• Actualice el servidor de NetWorker a 19.7.0.x o posterior.
• Actualice los vProxies a 4.3.0-29 o versiones posteriores.
  • Cómo actualizar el dispositivo vProxy: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/000197385/

Solución alternativa:

Antes de NetWorker 19.7.x y vProxy 4.3.0-29, realice una recuperación instantánea de la VM. Esto crea una copia temporal (offline) de la VM en el sistema Data Domain. Los discos necesarios se pueden montar en NFS en la VM de origen (en línea) y copiarse desde el sistema operativo de la máquina virtual.
