Restore Fails When Using vcbResAll With –b prompt Option (1001579)
Details
vcbResAll when used with -b prompt option fails to execute and fills up the space in var/log/vmware directory.
Consider the following scenario:
Per VM log files will be in /var/log/vmware/vcbResAll-11271. Extraneous entries similar to the following appear in vm_name-running.log filling up the space in var/log/vmware directory. How do you want to proceed?
# vcbResAll -h hostname -u username -p password -s /backuproot/ -b prompt
Note: The default value for –b is prompt. So vcbResAll, when used without –b option leads to the same issue.
