mount local storage between agents using ssh
hello,
in our environment to maximize performance we are using linux appliances with local attached storage. Each ESX host has one backup appliance.The big limitation with this layout is that it's impossible to restore a backup to a ESX host wich is different from where we done the backup. To avoid this limitation without using a shared storage I am thinking to try, on the appliance attached to the node where I want to restore the bakcup, to mount using ssh the local storage that i need, wich of course will be in another appliance. I see that linux appliances are centos based and every aplliance has ssh active by default, also the linux shell seems to be full functional. There are any issues doing this configuration? thank you in advice

hello,
we done it simply using sshfs on the agents, doing so we are able to grant access between the local storage attached to linux appliances with no limitations, so we can restore backups between different hosts without issues.
