I'm encountering the issue "Failed to quiesce the virtual machine" on one VM in vCenter.
when we try to take manually and eanble quiesce option its not happening.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error message
Task Name
Create virtual machine snapshot
Status
An error occurred while quiescing the virtual machine. See the virtual machine's event log for details. An error occurred while taking a snapshot: Failed to quiesce the virtual machine. An error occurred while saving the snapshot: Failed to quiesce the virtual machine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation:
1. One VMs fails to create snapshot in first time but successfully creates on second time automatically through backup software.
2. When the backup is started, the snapshot task fails with below error,
"2023-01-09T03:16:07.292Z In(05) vcpu-1 - [msg.snapshot.quiesce.startfail] Failed to start quiescing operation in the virtual.
2023-01-09T03:16:07.292Z In(05)+ vcpu-1 - The error message was: Error initializing quiesce operation. "
Following Troubleshooting steps
Method 1:-
> Uninstall and re-install the VMware tools and check for backup.
> If still fails, install VMware tools by disabling VSS.
> Uninstall VMware Tools (removing VMware Tools removes Vmware Tools features as well as the VMXNET driver, see Choosing a network adapter for your virtual machine).
> Allow the system to reboot.
> Reinstall VMware Tools.
> Ensure that you click Custom Install. Deselect VSS
