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?

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.

 Adrian
