NBU restore changes the disk path and UUID due to which VMwareDisks resource reports an unknown state

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
When you restore a VMware virtual machine using NetBackup (NBU), it changes the path and UUID of disks because of which the VMwareDisks agent resource goes into an unknown state as it has the old path and UUID configured in its "DiskPaths" attribute. As a workaround, you need to manually provide the new disk path in the "DiskPaths" attribute of the affected VMwareDisks resource and delete the incorrect UUID (and the colon after it) from the attribute.
