Hi,
I am having an issue at the moment with our Veeam backups and this is because Veeam is unable to read the VMX file for the VM's. It turns out that via vCenter I am unable to download the VMX file from the datastore, however connecting directly to the host works fine.
I have done a lot of reading on the issue and been able to rule out DNS as the hosts are connected to vCenter via the IP addresses and not their DNS names. There are no firewalls blocking communications neither so it cannot be this.
Reading the following KB VMware KB: Browsing datastores from VMware VirtualCenter 2.5.x fails: Failed to log into NFC server didn't make anything clearer neither as within the config file the following line is not even present prefvmx.consolidateDeleteNFSLocks = "TRUE" so could this be the issue? Do I need to add this line to the configuration file?
Any advise would be great as I am very stuck with this at the moment. I am running vCetner Appliance 5.5.0.10000 Build 1624811 and ESXi 5.5.0 1474528 with the HP ESXi image.
Thanks in advance.
