Windows 2012 R2 (physical standalone server)
*Note: yes I have searched the forums and Google prior to posting
TASK
Attempting to run file level restore from Linux restore point
ISSUE
Failed to mount restore point.
ERROR CONFIG #1 - Obtain IP automatically
Linux FLR appliance deploy failed: Timed out waiting for FLR helper appliance to respond. Possible causes:
1. Appliance is configured to run on different network than backup server.
2. Appliance is configured to obtain IP address automatically, but DHCP server is not available.
ERROR CONFIG #2 - Manual IP
Unable to connect by SSH to appliance.
Failed to login to host '<IPaddress-given>', port: 22, user: 'root', elevation to root: 'no', autoSudo: no, auth type: 'Password', host name: , IPs: [<IPaddress-given>].
ATTEMPTS/TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Config #1
Selected server to restore files from
FLR Appliance Helper - Customize
Select Server: chose esx host with space
Select Resource Pool: selected same resource pool as server restoring from
Select Network: selected same network DSwitch as server restoring from
selected Obtain IP address automatically
After ~11 minute wait, timed out with Error Config #1
Config #2
Same selections as previous, but, opted to Use the following IP address
-> tried 2x with IP address in range of Backup Server (VBR physical Win2012) and in range of selected server restoring files from
-> confirmed both IPs were not in use
After ~11 minute wait, timed out with Error Config #2
NOTES
Have tried multiple servers restoring from, with different ESX hosts, different Resource Pools, and different Network DSwitches
Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas are appreciated.
