Failed to get data ring : vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument

Hi all,

When the VDR 1.2 appliance (ESX 4.1 / VCenter 4.1) begin to work on our VMs, I've noticed this message in the log for each VM :

2010-11-07 22:00:28.484 F57CBB90 error 'App' opID=3fa7a4c4-37 Failed to get data ring: vmodl.fault.InvalidArgument

It appears after differents operations on the files involved in a VM. Below is a more complete context for one of our VM. VDR doesn't complain and everything seems to be working fine (I've done some quick test with Windows FLR).

What is going on ?

Just simply test backup from host to VDR. remove third party apps.
