Hi guys a little help please:
situation:
CLUSTER1 -------------> VMFS1, VMFS2, VMFS3
-ESX1
-ESX2
-ESX3
CLUSTER2 -------------> VMFS1, VMFS2, VMFS3
-ESX4
-ESX5
-ESX6
As you can see each ESX (5.0 last patched), even if in different cluster, can see each vmfs datastore, and each VMs
vRanger (5.3.0) virtual machine is located in CLUSTER1, and has regularly licensed each esx host. It uses hot add and it works fine.
The problem:
Lan free backups works well only on cluster 1.
Trying to backup machines on cluster 2 with lan feee hot add i always receive a failed error with
[2012-02-13 14:05:10.084]: Backup task using VDDK Hot-add failed: An internal error occurred during execution, please contact Quest support if the error persists. Error Message: 3201 - can't open [VMFS1] VMACHINE/VMACHINE.vmdk
On Virtualcenter i can see snap creation and snap deletion.
I don't understand why, maybe vranger hot add doesnt support vdisk snapshots of different clusters even if it has access to their datastores??
Thank you very much for your help
