In the policy Query Builder, display names, resource pool names, and vApp names are case-sensitive
In VMware vSphere, virtual machine display names, resource pool names, and vApp names are case-sensitive. For example, a virtual machine with the name "vm1" is a different virtual machine from one that is named "VM1."
In NetBackup versions before 7.6, the policy Query Builder field was not case-sensitive for Displayname, Resourcepool, or vApp. As of version 7.6, the Query Builder considers case in the query strings that include Displayname, Resourcepool, or vApp. VMware virtual machines with the name values that do not exactly match the query string case are no longer returned in the result set. Backups for those virtual machines are missed.
For example: Before NetBackup 7.6, a query specifying Displayname Contains "vmware-" returned any virtual machine with the string vmware- regardless of case:
vmware-ted VMware-charles VMWARE-john vmWARE-jason
In NetBackup 7.6 or later, a query specifying Displayname Contains "vmware-" only returns virtual machines when the case matches the input string exactly:
vmware-ted
Note:
When you upgrade to NetBackup 7.6 or later, policies that identify virtual machines through a query may select different virtual machines for backup. You may need to edit the policy query rules to reflect the case-sensitive behavior.
