Hello John,
Could you please update the post with the error wording you got?

vmkernel port in esx at the same subnet thatveeam server is running is mgmt port

This configuration is not recommended, however it should not produce any impact on Veeam functionality.

Actually you do not have to do anything manually. What is the exact error you're getting?

[kornelg]

mount host is not specified for backuprepository backuprepository 2.
whatshould i do in esx?

As mentioned, you don’t have to do anything with ESX(i) server. Instead, can you confirm that “Enable vPower NFS Server” box is ticked in the settings of given backup repository? Thanks.

ok itworks now.i havent got that enabled!

thanks!

Yep, during instant VM recovery backup server mounts a VM image to ESX(i) host directly from a backup file, using vPower technology. Therefore, you hadn’t been able to utilize it, till the moment vPower NFS server was enabled in the settings of backup repository.

Thanks.
