So I needed to backup an old ESXi server that was incompatible with VADP. VCB fallback had to be used on this proxy machine in order to get full disk level backups.
Prerequisites
- Install VCB on proxy
- Install VMware Converter on proxy
- Proxy must have ample disk space to accommodate vmdk's
My problem was that I did not have ample disk space in the default location where the proxy copies these vmdk's. The default path is "C:\Program Files\CommVault\Simpana\iDataAgent\JobResults"
Location | |
Windows | HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CommVault Systems\Galaxy\<Instance>\ |
Unix | Not Applicable |
NetWare | Not Applicable |
Key | VirtualServer (standard) |
Value | dVMSnapMountPath (optional) |
Value Type (Windows only) | STRING |
Valid Range | <full_mount_path> |
Default Value | <job_results_folder> |
Created in | Proxy Computer |
Description | This registry key allows you to change the mount path used for backups to a location other than the original proxy computer. |
Applies To | Virtual Server iDataAgent |
