-
From the mounted CD-ROM, install the SYMCquiesce rpm version that is appropriate for the virtual machine platform.
-
In the NetBackup policy for the virtual machine, make sure that the Virtual machine quiesce parameter is enabled.
On the policy Attributes tab, in the Snapshot Client area, click Options.
If the Virtual machine quiesce parameter is not enabled, NetBackup cannot quiesce the file system before the snapshot occurs. As a result, the data that is captured in the snapshot may not be complete.
