Rights for vcb proxy user in VCB 1.0.3

[LeoKurz2]

Hi,

up to now, the user for a vcb proxy had to have the following rights:

VM->Provisioning->Allow Virtula Machine Download

VM->State->Create Snapshot

VM->State->Remove Snapshot

VM->Configuration->Disk Lease

With the latest releases (ESX 3.0.2, VC 2.0.2 & VCB 1.0.3) this doesn't work anymore. vcbVmName works all right. vcbMounter retrives the log files, but when it comes to export the disk files in fullvm mode, I get the error message:

\[2007-08-27 11:24:03.421 'BlockList' 3332 error] No permission to perform this action.

File mode brings the same error. Using Administrator works all right. Anyone any idea which rights are missing?

Cheers

I too had the same problem. What i did to fix it was remove my vcb users permissions from the topology. I then added my vcb user to the hosts and clusters level and gave it the "vmware consolidated backup user" role. I dont know if it was the deleting and readding the permissions or adding my vcb user to the very top level that made it work but it works now. hope that helps.

Hi,

could you please send all lines from vcbmounter output.

There is a new permission role added in VirtualCenter 2.0.2 Update 2 called "VMwareConsolidatedBackupUser". Works great for me.
