I believe LAN mode is direct attached storage (to the virtual host.)  Aka. Snap the volume on the virtual host and use the LAN to transfer the image.

 

I don’t think NFS is a supported configuration.

So “LAN Mode” is NFS?

From the VMWare Backup guide: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35/vi3_35_25_vm_backup.pdf 

 

Page 25:


VMware supports the following two modes of Consolidated Backup:

􀂄 SAN Mode (Fibre Channel and iSCSI)

􀂄 LAN Mode

 

If I'm not mistaken I think the Symantec configuration doc says the same thing.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Netbackup & VCB over NFS

Hi,

 

I’m doing a test setup with Netbackup 6.5.1 and ESX.

I want to setup VCB backups with VM hosts on Fibre, iSCSI, and NFS.

Fibre & iSCSI works great … but when I want to backup the VM Hosts that are located on an NFS “voluim”, it doesn’t work.

I get an error 156.

We installed the NFS tools on the VCB proxy and we can mount the host with the vcbmounter tool.

Does anybody know if VM hosts on NFS are supported by Netbackup?

If so, are there special things I should keep in mind?

Thanks in advance.

 

Best regards,

Stefaan
