vCenter 2.5 U5 / ESX 3.5 U4 - vSwitch/PortGroup - VST - inbound/outbound OK except for the Netbackup Media Server

vCenter 2.5 U5 / ESX 3.5 U4 - vSwitch/PortGroup - VST - inbound/outbound OK except for the Netbackup Media Server

All vms on dedicated backup VLAN (and prod VLAN) - multiple vms on multiple ESX hosts - same issue

VMs can ping backup media server and all other servers across WAN

Netbackup media server can ping all servers on WAN except those on vCenter/ESX

Netbackup media server can ping all physical servers on same backup subnet/VLAN

Two dozen VLANs configured on vCenter ESX 9 node cluster with no issues

VMs on Backup VLAN can ping Netbackup media server but the Netbackup media server can't ping VMs

So, of course, guests backups cannot be configured ... Any help? I have submitted issue to Network dept of our client Smiley Wink

I award all points possible everytime after 72 hrs regardless.

Linux Admin had to add a static route to RedHat VM to reach the correct Netbackup media server NIC - route add (Main IP of Media Server) gw (IP of NIC assigned to Dedicated Backup Network)
