Media Server access to Vmware/ESX
Hello,
We are troubleshooting an error for a vmware policy (156) and some doubts were raised:
1- Does the media server need to access the Vmware/ESX through an IP address?
2 - What kind of connection is required for the client to initiate an snapshot on the virtual machine?
Regards
VMware backup host must have connectivity between VMware hosts(vCenter and ESXs).
Exactly, media server does not need to communicate with VMware hosts(vCenter and ESXs), but in common planning, media servers are also used as VMware backup host. So, in common case, media servers requires connectivity between VMware hosts.
