Instant Access supported for Virtual Appliances?
Hello,
I have NBU domain consisting of one ROBO and one DC virtual appliances just upgraded to 8.1.2. I was about to test VMware Instant Access but when I am creating a protection plan, no storage appears to be supported for this feature - however there is a MSDP on each appliance so it should be. See attached printscreen. Any hints where is a problem?
Reading through Release Notes, Virtual App Limitations, etc. but nothing relevant found.

Hello
Looks like this is not supported on virtual ones .... take a look at this excerpt from here (I am worried too as I do have mostly 5230's and these are not supported too):
"Starting with this release, the Instant Access feature is supported on NetBackup 5330, 5240 or 5340 appliances. This feature allows you to create an Instant Access VM from a NetBackup backup image. The VM is available almost instantaneously, achieving a near-zero recovery time objective. NetBackup mounts the VM snapshot directly on the backup storage device to allow your ESXi host or cluster to treat the snapshot as a normal VM.
For information about how to use this feature, see the NetBackup Web UI VMware Administrator's Guide.
Note:
For 5330, 5240 or 5340 appliances that are upgraded to software version 3.1.2, a manual procedure is required to enable this feature. For details, refer to the following topic:
