Vmware host backup failed with error:'VmBackupSyncDriverStart' operation failed.
Issue :
TSM servers is not able to get the backup of VM which is having windows server 2003.
Error:
The guest OS has reported an error during quiescing. The error code was: 5 The error message was: 'VmBackupSyncDriverStart' operation failed.
Reason :
The sync driver is only required for legacy versions of Windows, such as Windows XP and Windows 2000, which do not include the Microsoft VSS service. Windows Server 2003 is having VSS Service. So that we can disable this driver ( Sync ) on the server.
When upgrading pre-4.1 versions of VMware Tools, it allows you to uninstall the SYNC driver. However, because SYNC functionality is not necessary in any guest OS that has the VSS service, the VMware Tools installer no longer offers the option to uninstall the SYNC driver.
To add VSS and remove Filesystem Sync components during a VMware Tools upgrade:
For ESX 3.5 Update 2 hosts, add this line in the Advanced Options of the Automatic Tools Upgrade:
/s /v "FILEADDLOCAL=VCBRequestor.dll REMOVE=Sync /qb- REBOOT=R"
For ESX 4.0 hosts, add this line in the Advanced Options of the Automatic Tools Upgrade:
/s /v "FILEADDLOCAL=comreg.exe REMOVE=Sync /qb- REBOOT=R"
For ESX 4.1 hosts, and ESXi 4.1 and 5.x hosts, Vmware tools for these versions no longer remove the sync driver. So, in this case we can disable the sync drive and 1 reboot is required.
To disable the SYNC drivers:
1. In the Windows Device Manager,
2.click View > Show hidden devices.
3. Expand Non-Plug and Play Drivers.
4. Right-click Sync Driver and click Disable.
5. Click Yes twice to disable the device and restart the computer.
