I have a customer with a VMware environment using NFS storage. He has a dedicated private network connecting his ESX hosts to his network storage. He wondered if it was possible to attach the backup/proxy server to this private LAN, in order to isolation the backup traffic. Has anyone tried this? The problem I see is that the proxy wants to talk to vCenter, and vCenter isn't reachable on the storage interface. It seems if you ditched the vCenter plugin approach, and manually configured the datamover dsm.opt files to point to ESX server IP addresses, it might work, right?
