Ok so you see it ... but does Disk Management show anything after you do a re-scan disks? And its definetely presented correctly (your VM Backup Host) on the SAN?
Also ... and I said this last time... did you get the latest NBU VMware Update Pack, because this fixed many problems for me, especially doing via the SAN as it was horrible speeds. I was on 7.0.1 Take it you rebooted? -----Original Message----- From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of Adrian Soetanto Sent: 10 August 2011 17:38 To: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: [Veritas-bu] Problem of VMWare ESX Backup via SAN Dear all, I have another problem related to the previous problem which is a VMWare ESXi Backup Problem. The VMWare ESX backup has already been successful through LAN backup, but it's still failed if I use SAN backup/transfer type. Here is the description & facts of my problem... DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM VMWare ESX backup is failed if it's set to use SAN, but is successful if it's set to use LAN. FACTS & FIGURES - Master Server: OS: IBM AIX (oslevel 5300-12-04-1119) NetBackup 7.1 - Media Server & Veritas Backup Host: OS: Windows 2003 x64 NetBackup 7.1 - Client/Machine to be backed up: VMWare ESXi 4.1 - The storage unit for the backup host has already been set up. - I've already added the VMWare Virtual Center into the Credentials | Virtual Machine Servers (from Java Administration Console). - The windows Veritas Backup Host is a media server as well and I have linked it to the VMWare storage and tape backup drive through the SAN switch. - I've already disabled the automount using diskpart command, so that the storage will not be initilized and formatted by Windows. - The VMWare storage can only be seen from Device Manager and not from Disk Management. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you in advanced. -- Best Regards, Adrian _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
