Hello,
I have a simple VMware installation (ESXi 6.7) as lab with veeam backup for testing. I can do backups without any problem but I can not restore them.
ESXi is in a network 192.x.x.x
VM is under other network. 172.x.x.x
The error is mounting the NFS storage:
Error mounting NFS 172.xxx.xx.xxx... can´t establish connection with server NFS
But also with other range
Error mounting NFS 192.xxx.xx.xxx... can´t establish connection with server NFS
If I ping from the ESXi to the Vm:
vmkping 172.xxx.xxx.xxx
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
So I read it is possible to add VMKernel network with an IP address in the same subnet of the Veeam server. But I don't know how.
I go to Network -> NIC Vkernel and I have one in Management Network.
If I add another I have to do it under VM Network but it does not work.
If I change the IP of the VM to the same range of the ESXi and pin from from Vkernel:
vmkping 192.x.x.x
--- 192.x.x.x ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
But the NFS server is mounted and I can restore a machine.
So, what I am doing wrong?
