Hyper-V VM backup through SAN media server

[Kiran_Bandi]

Hello,

Need some help on configuring Hyper-v virtual machine backups with NetBackup 7.1. Master Windows Server 2K8 R2.

Installed Media Server on Hyper-v base machine. (Enterprise Client license and want to use it as SAN media server )

Backup to tape and no DISK.

Three virtual machines present on that server and need to backup one machine (2K8 R2 OS) . For individual file restore, installed client package on that. 

Created a policy with type FlashBackup-Windows and provided details of Hyper-v server. Selected the virtual machine as client and ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES is the default selection.

As the hyper-v server is configured as SAN media server, backups are failing with EC:2063. Successfull when i choose master server storage unit.

For SQL cluster backups, i have added virtual host and linked with both nodes using nbemmcmd. Any such configuration can be done, so that virtual machine can be backedup using base machine storage unit?

I have tried adding the virtual machine as -machinetype virtual_machine but no change.

Thanks.....

I think to backup Hyper-V VMs remote client license is required for the Media servers.
