FCM For VMware Ver 3.2.0.2 - Improvement to Backup Status Report

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

FCM reports a false status for virtual machines when checked by generating a backup status report using the Reports > Backup Status Option with FCM GUI.

With FCM for VMware 3.2.0.2 onwards FCM functionality has been improved to continue the backup job even if some VM's fail during the quiesing operation. When checked through FCM Backup tab, the backup job now completes with a "Warning" status and reports uuid all those VM's for which quiescing failed. However, When checked within the backup status report generated using Reports > Backup Status option, We see that it shows "Warning" status against all the virtual machines completed in that job.

This needs to corrected so that only the virtual machines which failed during quiecing operation are reported with "Warning" status and the remaining VM's are shown with the status as "Successful".

    Thank you for submitting the request. IBM recognizes this as a valid and meaningful requirement. It is aligned with our multi-year strategy and is a candidate for a future release. IBM’s plans may change and no commitment is made that a solution will be provided.
