mount local storage between agents using ssh

Thread needs solution

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

EDP-F hello!

Thank you for your posting. I will be happy to answer your question.

Are the hosts in a cluster? Does the second appliance have any connection to the first one or any access to its LAS? If yes, I see no issues in this matter. You can also try restoring the archive via GUI.

Otherwise, сould you please give more details on your configuration: Is this All-in-One appliances or regular ones? Where is AMS installed? Do the hosts have any connection?

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Wishing you all the best.

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.
