backup_protectable_items_operations: Input provided for the call is invalid

Version info

pip3 freeze:
azure-mgmt-recoveryservicesbackup==0.1.1
msrest==0.4.14
msrestazure==0.4.13

Issue

Following the test case here I do the following.

The backup vault is in another resource group ( config['Backup']['ResourceGroup'] ) than the VM. I can add the VM to backups via Azure Portal.

container_name = "iaasvmcontainer;" + "iaasvmcontainerv2;" + group + ";" + vm_name
logging.info('container name: {}'.format(container_name))
pi_name = "vm;iaasvmcontainerv2;" + group + ";" + vm_name
logging.info('protected item name: {}'.format(pi_name))

protectable_items = recovery_client.backup_protectable_items.list(bkp_vlt, config['Backup']['ResourceGroup'], raw=True)
vm_to_bkp  = next(protectable_item for protectable_item in protectable_items if container_name.lower() in protectable_item.name.lower()).properties

This results in

2017-09-08 16:21:14,488 container name: iaasvmcontainer;iaasvmcontainerv2;ecaz_infra;ecazjump1
2017-09-08 16:21:14,488 protected item name: vm;iaasvmcontainerv2;ecaz_infra;ecazjump1

@DheerendraRathor, what do you think?

[DheerendraRathor]

@ecgg Can you give me request id for debugging purpose? It is present in raised exception. You can add try except block around list protectable item code and request id is present in exception as exp.request_id where exp is an instance of CloudError.

Here's what I did

    try:

        protectable_items = recovery_client.backup_protectable_items.list(bkp_vlt, config['Backup']['ResourceGroup'], raw=True)

    # find protectable items and see if one matched request vm
        vm_to_bkp  = next(protectable_item for protectable_item in protectable_items if container_name.lower() in protectable_item.name.lower()).properties

    except CloudError as err:
        logging.info(err.message)
        print(err.request_id)

And here's the output:

@ecgg
Please use list call as per following code:

iaasvm_odata_filter = "backupManagementType eq 'AzureIaasVM'"
protectable_items = client.backup_protectable_items.list(bkp_vlt, config['Backup']['ResourceGroup'], filter=iaasvm_odata_filter, raw=True)    

These filters were introduced due to recent service side changes. I'll update tests and SDK to incorporate these soon.

That worked - thank you
