vcb Backup problem

I'm using a script to backup several VM's.

Tree of the are exported ok but with one VM I'll get the following error:

Could not renew disk lease. Aborting operation.

Converting "C:\mnt1\TS2-fullVM\scsi0-0-0-TS2.vmdk" (compact file):

0%=====================50%=====================100%

**************************************************

The managed object of type "vim.host.DiskManager.Lease" identified by the MoRef "session[8CDF8163-B9EA-40A6-AC2C-7560004B1BF3]38672AB0-089B-4A06-9B32-BF81896BE8C5" could not be found.

Error: Failed to export the disk: I/O Operation failed

An error occurred, cleaning up...

SSLVerifyCertAgainstSystemStore: Subject mismatch: VMware vs vcenter

SSLVerifyCertAgainstSystemStore: The remote host certificate has these problems:

  • The host name used for the connection does not match the subject name on the host certificate

  • A certificate in the host's chain is based on an untrusted root.

SSLVerifyIsEnabled: failed to read registry value. Assuming verification is disabled. LastError = 0

SSLVerifyCertAgainstSystemStore: Certificate verification is disabled, so connection will proceed despite the error

Deleted directory C:\mnt1\TS2-fullVM

Try to increase the lease time by adding a line to /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml

In the

Restart mgmt-vmware

This have worked for me before..

Looks like your backup is taking longer to backup than expected. Increase least time as other poster suggested.

Does this specific VM have an RDM? If your VCB Proxy is not zoned/LUN Masked to see the RDM, you will get this error.

No, all VM-Volumes are based on VMFS. No RDM.

Have you increased lease time? Are you still getting this error? How long is your backup taking before it fails?
