Trying to backup a specific VM but it always fails with the same error. All other VM's are backup without problems. It's just this one, single VM.
Does anyone know what this error means?
"Error: Client error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond"
The VM is powered off so my first thoughts of "VSS Agent insertion problems" cannot be the cause. CBT is disabled and VMtools quesce or application-aware-image-processing(VSS) is not configured (not needed on a mostly powered-off VM).
It's a clone of a server i want to make a backup off. It was cloned with the vCenter cloning function.
In vcenter, i see that the snapshot is made succesfully, then the hot-add seems to hang for a while. Then, before hot-add finishes, the snapshot is deleted and the job ends up as failed.
Another thought i had was that with "connected party" the assigned proxy or ESXi server was meant but at the same time other jobs run fine. And it always happens (goes wrong, says: "Error: Client error: A connection attempt failed")
Running v6.0.0.158 (V6 + Hotfix 1)
Disclaimer: i started this topic before. It was slightly different and was deleted as a consequence of forum rules violation. I hope it does not violate them now. I'm not seeking to open a support-case (it's too early for that).
If it is felt that i should open up a case with support, please tell me instead of just deleting it and not saying a word
