Hello,
I have those error message when replicating my VM's
I have installed the Acronis appliance on both physical hosts.
What else should I install ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

To avoid this, deploy the ESX agent on the ESX server whose virtual machines you want to back up and recover.

Hi,

This is in fact an informational message which indicates that the disks will be opened in network mode. While performing replication you will see such message in any case, since appliance can either attach the source disks (if appliance is deployed to the source host) or the target replica disks (if appliance is deployed to target host) to itself for direct data access. Since normally you are replicating to a remote host which datastores are inaccessible from the source host then message will be shown. It will not be shown if you are replicating within a vSphere cluster and the replica is located on shared datastore. So in general it is Ok to have this message in the logs even if you have deployed appliances on both hosts (since appliances do not "talk" to each other and operate independently).

Thank you.

I see. Is there also a way to change that error logs to say at least close to saying just throwing out an informational message?

It's actually already an "Information" message type - it's not marked as error in the log files and it doesn't affect the status of replication task therefore of course.
