Select the transport mode for accessing virtual machine disks. The supported modes are:
For more information about transport modes, see Supported transport modes. To use the most suitable transport mode automatically, select Auto. On new plug-in installations, the Auto transport mode is selected by default. | |||||
In the Fallback Transport Mode list, select the transportation mode that is used when the primary transportation mode fails. The available options are nbd, nbdssl, and none. If no alternative is available, select none. On new plug-in installations, the fallback transport mode is set to nbd by default. On upgrade installations, the fallback transport mode is set to nbdssl if the mode was set to san or hotadd mode before upgrade. | |||||
Plug‑in for VMware provides two View Types to browse the VMware inventory objects on the NetVault Backup Selections page:
The Hosts and Clusters view provides a hierarchical view of the hosts, clusters, and their child objects. In a cluster setup managed by a vCenter Server, the virtual machines are displayed under the Cluster node. In a standalone ESXi Server setup, the virtual machines are displayed under the individual hosts.
The Hosts and Clusters view does not display the folders created on the vCenter Server.
NOTE: To switch between the two views, select the ESXi or vCenter Server on the NetVault Backup Selections page, and in the Actions list, click Toggle Inventory View. This option is only available when the server node is open. | |||||
This setting determines the interval at which the plug-in updates progress statistics on the Monitor Job page. The default value for this option is 10 seconds. To change the default interval for progress updates, type or select a new value. The progress interval is specified in number of seconds. | |||||
By default, the backup of a virtual machine fails if it cannot be locked against Storage vMotion. | |||||
The Working Directory is used for the following purposes: The default path for the Working Directory is <NetVault Backup home>\tmp on Windows and <NetVault Backup home>/tmp on Linux. To change the location, specify the full path. If you specify a path that does not exist, the plug-in automatically creates it on the NetVault Backup machine. | |||||
