VixDiskLib trace extract:
VixDiskLib: No transport modes available to access disks.
Coding problem when Auto mode
Do not select Auto as primary transport mode and fallback transport mode, Select the desired mode for primary transport mode and fallback transport mode . I.e. if you have a san and network transport available to you would make san primary transport mode as it the fastest and most efficient transport mode for the backup and nbd as fallback transport mode
This problem is to be fixed under bug 22125
