VMware vCenter appliance backup configuration in NetBackup 8.0
Hi All,
Please help on how to configure VMware backups when the vCenter is an appliance instead of a Windows server. NetBackup Version is 8.0 on Windows 2012.
Till now we have had backup environments where vCenter is a windows server. We would add a separate backup network to vCenter so that it can communucate with the NetBackup servers,open TCP ports 902 and 443 and add vCenter to NetBackup. This is how we have done the configuration till now.
My question is,can we add a separate backup network to the appliance (seems it unsupported by VMware). If not how do we configure the backups. Another question if we want to use NDB protocol instead of SAN then do we need to add backup network on esxi hosts too.
Thanks is advance for the help and advice.
