Apologies if this has been asked (and answered) before, but I couldn't find a solution. We have a windows 2008 master server running Netbackup 7.6.0.4 and vmware backups with vCloud director integration enabled. The issue we are facing is that backups fail with status 200 when the policy kicks off as per the frequency based schedule daily at 18:30 hrs, but is successful when it automatically retries again in some time.
The backup host is the media server (5230 appliance) with SAN transport mode
I have checked the credentials being used for the vCenter and they are the same. Netbackup is able to connect just fine.
Below is the output from bppllist <policyname> -U

while I understand that 200 is generally a warning, and I do have successful backups after the auto-retry, it is still annoying and doesn't make my opscenter success reports look good.
any ideas on how to fix this?
