Sorry. I was directing the questions your way.
I just started this Monday trying to untangle VCB & Networker and this is what 
I have learned so far. 

You need a physical server to act as a VCB proxy which means you actually 
install VCB on this server. You also need to install networker as a client on 
the VCB proxy. After that there are Networker specific scripts that need to be 
installed.

The VCB Proxy should have connectivity to your SAN either with FC or iSCSI.

You need to run diskpart Automount Disable on the VCB Proxy

On the networker server you create a client for the VM and setup to work with 
VCB. 

These documents should explain more specifically about each of the steps I've 
described.

Hopefully these links will help.
