Hi all,
Im facing this error message randomly when I open a policy.
"Browse failure
Failure to browse 'lalalalalalala.domain.com'
Cannot connect to vCenter or ESX host"
Here's the output of SGMON of the time I reproduce the issue when I opened a policy moments ago:

As mentioned this is random. Most of my VM backup fails with messages like "Final error: 0xe0009583 - Cannot connect to vCenter or ESX host"
I also checked and replied some questions here https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/v-79-57344-38308-my-full-file-server-backup-vmware-agent but nothing yet.
What else can I check? As far as I know (Since I'm new here) is that vcenter and the media server are in different subnets. But as mentioned before, this behavior occurs randomly. Now I have my backups configured to go via RAWS and they are working fine, but I also need a backup of the VMDK+GRT!
Any help or suggestion is more than welcome!
