vCloud director integration with Veeam backup v10

[ManivelR]

Hi Team,

Our management subnet is 10.128.1.0.All the VMs(vcenter server.NSX,VCD DB,VCD,Veeam server etc..) are in the same subnet "10.128.1.0".

When we try to access the "Veeam self service portal" from vCloud director tenant portal through Private Intranet(After connecting our local VPN connection),its works fine because the VCD VM & Veeam backup VM are in the same subnet.

When we try to access the "Veeam self service portal" from vCloud director tenant from public internet.Example:-

Lets say "https://fastcloud.com/tenant/manivel". it  was not started working.

After configuring NAT( Pointed to Veeam VM) with port 9443 from Network end.It started working and able to see the "Veeam self service portal" from VCD tenant.

Im not sure,Why NAT is required for Veeam server when we access from public internet ?

If we access the Veeam self service portal from vCloud director tenant either from public internet or private intranet,it should talk locally(without NAT) because all are in the same subnet.

Any one has any ideas?

Thanks,

Manivel RR

Hi,

Can you upload a diagram of how your scenario looks?

NAT is needed to have a public IP for Veeam portal for external users access

If what you need is the client request to end at Edge and make the Edge send the request to VCD, Veeam, etc on your mgmt network check on your Edge rules configuration to terminate connections on Edge rather than sending client request directly to your servers.

Thanks for the response.

The original author of vcd plugin cleared my doubts.

By default, we need to expose the vcd self service 9443 port to internet. This is the default behavior
