Application Aware Process Error: Unstable Writers for Configured VM

KB ID: 105061
Cause:
The "Application Aware Process - One or more writers are Unstable for the Configured VM" error occurs due to instability in the Application VSS writer(s) (Exchange, MSSQL) within the Guest VM machine.
Solution:
To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
1. Restart Host or Application:
Restart either the host system or the application within the Guest VM machine. This action might rectify the unstable writer status issue.
2. Manual Writer Status Check:
After the restart, manually verify the status of the VSS writers by executing the following command in the Guest VM's command prompt:
   vssadmin list writers
This command provides a list of available writers along with their status.
Note: This solution is designed to address the "Application Aware Process - One or more writers are Unstable for the Configured VM" error in BDRSuite. By restarting the host or application and manually checking the VSS writer status, you can potentially resolve the instability issue and ensure the successful execution of backup and replication operations.
