Case# 07914741 - DataLabs tests with 9+ VLANs

[chrisflyckelen]

Hey everyone,

I’m running into an issue while executing a DataLabs test with around 90 VMs distributed across more than nine production VLANs. It’s not possible to attach all of them to a single proxy appliance due to a VMware vSphere limitation: the proxy appliance supports a maximum of nine additional vNICs.

The actual restore works, but VRO registers the restored VM on one of the three ESXi hosts at random. As a result, some VMs end up on hosts different from the one running the proxy appliance, which causes connectivity issues during the process.

Has anyone implemented a setup with two proxy appliances running on different hosts that can communicate with each other to get around this limitation?

Thanks,
Christian
