Steve, Did you try using 999 ? -VMMAXVIRTUALDISKS=999
Are you also using the vmskipmaxvirtualdisks option? These references may help: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_7.1.8/client/r_opt_vmmaxvirtualdisks.html http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg22011779 -Rick Adamson -----Original Message----- From: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Schaub, Steve Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 10:03 AM To: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: [ADSM-L] VE backup failures after disk expansion * This email originated outside of the organization. Use caution when opening attachments or clicking links. * ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help appreciated. Started failing backups after drive was added or expanded to 2.5 TB. On 6/25 the max drive size was increased from 2 to 7 via VMMAXVIRTUALDISKS 7 As of this the backups will only complete with non quiesced backup snapshots. 6/28 it was rebooted and still fails to quiesce. Solution searches are not giving me much to go on.
