Summary

An agentless backup fails with a message indicating that it can't find a matching vCenter, yet the vCenter exists.

 

 

Symptoms

The full message associated with the error will have this form:

Tue Jan 23 12:45:30 2018 SNBSVH_941E  Failed to create the VM task for node (DPXQA) (Reason: Cannot find a destination matching vCenter(DPXQA), src(/DPXQA/Host/Resource-Groups/VM name; and more information))

The relevant characteristic of the virtual machine name is that one of the components has an embedded semi-colon.

 

 

 

Resolution

This behavior will be  addressed in a future DPX Maintenance Update. 
As workaround to resolve the issue please remove  the embedded semi-colon in the VM name
