VMwre DvSwitch

Thread needs solution

Dears,

Does Acronis backup solution for VMware agentless backup support VMware DvSwitch ?

During the PoC for ABA 11.7 , I found that the VA not enable to detect the VLAN when deploying on Vcenter or ESXi host.

I also tested VA deploy is completed successfully on VMware standard switch.

As customer’s VMware farm is deployed VMware DvSwitch, if Acronis Backup cannot support this and we will fail the PoC.

Please kindly help advise if any hotfix or workaround. Thank you.

P.S. I found a post in forum , seem DvSwtich is not yet support for AB12 …..

Hi,

dvSwitch is supported in AB12, but has some restrictions as you can see in that post, the VA will deploy correctly. This will be resolved in future updates.

Regarding 11.7, I am getting an error while deploying the VA in failing to connect to vCenters /sdk URL because network is the wrong VLAN. Setting [Automatically select] doesn't get things better.

I suggest to contact the customer support directly.

Edit: There is a KB 56142: Acronis Backup Advanced 11.7/11.5: Incorrect Automatic Deployment of Virtual Appliance to ESXi Host with Multiple VM Networks (vCenter Environment) which states: the VM-Network is selected in alphabetical order, so you should be able to deploy the VA manually or naming the networks in correct order (which is not an option for me).
