I am trying to access remote VMDK using VDDK via hotadd transport mode but  it seems that the system consistently falls back to utilizing the NBD internally, rather than successfully utilizing the HotAdd transport mode as intended.

Below are the logs for the query. We have initialised the required values for VixDiskLib_InitEx() including libdir which points to lib64. Also after using VixDiskLib_ListTransportModes() we get the output as file:nbdssl:nbd. How do we enable VDDK to work for advanced transports. Are there any additional prerequisites or virtual machine configurations that might be required to enable the successful use of the HotAdd transport mode for remote VMDK access?

Any insights, suggestions, or troubleshooting steps will be of great help.
