    The problem was related to DNS. When I first entered the Credentials for Virtual Machine Servers i used the IP-address.

    I later tried to delete the host and create it again, but did not remove the host from the EMM database.

    I followed the info from the Netbackup VMware Administrator's Guide (section Changing the host name of a VMware server in NetBackup).

    My problem is now fixed.

I'm having a similar issue:

I'm setting up a DR environment, I've setup a Master Server running NBU 7.0.1 and I've installed a Standalone DR Vmware server running ESXi 4.1.  I've configured a new datastore on the DR VMware server.

 

But when trying to restore my images to an alternate location no Resoure Pool or Datastore information populates in the Restore Wizard.

 

I've tried the steps above, but they didn't work.  In addition I've added the VMWare server credentials using port 443 and have successfully veried them in the wizard. Any other ideas?

 

Notes:

Servers on the same subnet, using Cisco Router to communicate, Vmware box is pingable from NBU server using hostname & IP.  (Host file for DNS).
