Refreshing Windows Disk Management on the vRanger VM may cause a HotAdd backup to failover to a network backup.
When vRanger is installed on a VM that contains two paravirtualized (PVSCSI) controllers, mounting of paravirtual volumes via HotAdd will fail, causing vRanger to continue operations via the configured failover method (network for backup, or the configured transport failover option for replication).
Workaround:
In many cases, one of the PVSCSI controllers is empty and can be safely removed. Removing this second, empty controller from the vRanger machine will allow HotAdd operations to process normally.
