In the Avamar Administrator interface a Virtual Machine is labeled with its VMX file location instead of
its VM name (000485609)
Avamar Client for VMware
Issue: The VM name is displayed incorrectly for random VMs on the Avamar GUI.
The VM name can be seen similar to:
"%2fvmfs%2fvolumes%2f5124e1c8-f4fd5839-7764-b8ac6f8a9883%2fpoi%2fpoi1.vmx"
In vpxd log file, you see many references to VmRemovedEvent and VMRenamedEvent:
grep "Invalid host event" vpxd-*.log | grep "vim.event.VmRenamedEvent"
grep "Invalid host event" vpxd-*.log | grep "vim.event.VmRemovedEvent"
Resolution
Currently, there is no resolution.
VMware is aware of this issue and is co-working with Backup solution teams to provide a solution.
To work around the issue, use these options:
- Avoid vMotion for the backed up virtual machines.
- Correct the backup set when necessary.
