NSX Scheduled backups do not execute at the scheduled time, but manual backups are successful.

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

• NSX is configured to take scheduled backups are a prescribed interval
• The interval passes but no new backups are created
• No error messages appear in the NSX interface or NSX Manager logs
• Manual backups execute and are successful 

Environment

VMware NSX

Cause

The QuartzSetupServiceImpl service is not running on the service's leader node. Without this service running, no scheduled backups will start.

Resolution

1. 1. Log into any NSX Manager in the cluster as root.
   2. Perform the following two commands to identify which NSX Manager node is the QuartzSetupService Leader:
      1. su admin -c get cluster status verbose | grep -E "Leaders\:|QuartzSetupServiceImpl"
      2. su admin -c get cluster status | grep <UUID returned in previous command>



   3. Reboot the NSX Manager node associated with that ID.
      1. You can also choose to reboot all nodes in the cluster if you wish.
      2. The only Manager that must be rebooted is the Node ID specified by the UUID associate with the server QuartzSetupServiceImpl.
