Recently the VDP is showing frequently the error VDP:001 The most recent checkpoint for the VDP appliance is outdated.
After the procedures bellow, the error were gone, with no particula reason the error is coming back:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2067701
Anyone has any guess about the frequency?
Thank you.
Have you checked maintenance service status from appliance shell !
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt response.
In this KB you sent is about 5.1 version, my VDP is 6.1 e doesn't have Status Tab.
But I checked on VDP Configure (https://vmvdp:8543/vdp-configure/) all services is running.
This is the scenario... 3, 4 days works fine, then show the error "VDP:001 The most recent checkpoint..."
Thank you.
Hi all,
I have the same issue with VPD 6.1.7 on VMware ESXi 6.5.0 and still searching for a solution.
Any results or further ideas here?
Thanks in advance.
Everyday we run a checkpoint operation to create a consistent system state in case of a rollback.
If your checkpointing fails for a day without a valid one for >24 hours, you receive this alert.
The reason why it fails for checkpointing can be different (a lot!)
You will need to SSH to VDP (As admin if root access is not enabled)
Then run
# cplist
If you do not see any valid checkpoint in the last 24 hours, run "# status.dpn" to see the cause of failure of checkpoint.
Then the err.log under /data01/cur/err.log should have the reason for failure when "grep" by the cp.2018xxxxx ID

Please, stop using VDP...
It was deprecated and you still continue to use it.
That error was quite common, as far as I know, so well usually you had to delete everything and re-ran all jobs.
In this KB you sent is about 5.1 version, my VDP is 6.1 e doesn't have Status Tab
Should be under the "Reports" tab
I had the same error and I got it resolved performing tasks below:
PS: If you see the error message re-appears in couple of days time then it means your maintenance schedule has not been configured properly or it has not run for various reasons. You can manually modify the backup and maintenance schedule or run an on-demand maintenance from shell.
Hope that helps!
Thank you,
