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)
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
