[V13] Force VIX for FLR

Post by EviLin »

Hello,

We are building a new VMware environment, and using VSA as VBR server and some Veeam Infrastructure Appliances for Proxies,
and a Windows mount server.

When running FLR, the timeout time for trying first, port 6160 and then 139, 443 and 111731 from Mount server to Guest VM, is around 5 minutes.
Is'nt it possible to force VIX as a the default method? Because our Mount server wont get network access to all the guest VMs

I've read that in VBR (Windows) it was possible via regkey, but how do we do it on the Linux VSA ?

And another question for FLR: Is'nt it possible to set one-time credentials for a FLR restore session? We dont want to add all kinds of credentials for high-priviledge accounts in Veeam, so it would be nice to just to enter some credentials only used for this FLR session
