Príčina

The VM was marked as "backup locked" due to previous backup error or interruption.

The vmconfig command can be used to verify if the VM is backup locked.

 
  1. Log in to vProxy as admin over SSH, then switch to root.
sudo su -
  1. Change to bin directory
cd  /opt/emc/vproxy/bin
  1. Run below command to load library path:​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
source ../unit/vproxy.env
  1. Check if the backup is locked with 'vmconfig' tool using the MoREF value from the session log: 
./vmconfig -c info -k "vm-MoRef" -l moref -v vCENTER_NAME -u "vCENTER_USERNAME" -p 'PASSWORD'
           Example output 
  Searching for virtual machine with MORef "vm-XXX" ...
            Querying vCenter for definition of virtual machine with MORef of "vm-XXX" ...
            Found virtual machine "VM_NAME" with MORef "vm-xxx".
            vm-145501: Name: "VM_NAME".
            vm-145501: CBT Enabled: true.
            vm-145501: Migration Enabled: false.
            vm-145501: Backup Locked: true.
