Applies to

  • SnapCenter Plug-in for VMware vSphere (SCV)
  • 3rd party backup software, for example CommVault

Issue

  • 3rd party backup software preventing SCV backup where SCV is unable to create the snapshot.
  • SCV will try several times after showing the error:

[INF] Begin CreateSnapshot
[ERR] snapshot operation-failed
[INF] Command: New-NcSnapshotMulti Force ZAPI: true
[ERR] Snapshot copy operation failed for volume <volume_name>. Reason: Snapshot operation not allowed due to clones backed by snapshots. Try again after sometime
