Hi,
few questions about vSphere Data Protection 5.1.
In the Admin Guide, installation requirements, nothing is mentioned about SAN/NAS, FC, iSCSI and so on.
Are there any special requirements or I can deploy the Appliance in any datastore I want like regular VM with its datastore ?
I'd like to deploy the vSphere Data Protection appliance storage on NL-SAS disk and the VM itself on faster disk such as SAS.
Reading the Admin Guide I read only possible convert thick to thin, is it possible split the VM itself from the Datastore for the backup ?
Since is agent-less backup solution, I suppose it does snapshot of the VM, deduplicate and store in its datastore. Is it correct ?
What is the reasong of this port number ? vSphere Data Protection 111 TCP/UDP VDP ESX/ESXi rpcbind
Thanks, giorgio
