Netbackup SAN transport for VMWare
Hello!
I have media server and setup vmware backups and all works over LAN.
Now I'm trying to configure Netbackup for VMware backup over SAN.
I'm have:
- NB Master Server - snb2 (Windows 2008 R2)
- NB Media Server - svs2 (virtual machine) VMWare vcenter (Windows 2008 R2)
- ESX VMware - svm8
- Datastore, which stores clients VM - LUN214
- Master, Media, ESX - they are in the same VLAN and have access to each other
I want to make backups using vcenter.
I'm configured:
- In vcenter - Automount disable, Automount scrub
- Configure zoning on SAN switch --> zone include media server (Vcenter), tape drive, ESX, datastore LUN214
- LUN shows up as online under disk management
- Changed the VMWARE policy to only use SAN as backup method. NBD works fine.
When I launch the job, a snapshot is created (as seen in vcenter) but, when the actual backp stream starts, I get this error:
Error opening the snapshot disks using given transport mode: Status 23.
What should I do?

Hi,
Sorry I missed this point "- NB Media Server - svs2 (virtual machine) VMWare vcenter (Windows 2008 R2)"
You cannot use SAN Transport when your backup host is virtual. Only hotadd.
Suggest you zone the vmfs datastores with your master, then try san transport.
