Hello All,

Environment:

I have a requirement to backup vSphere workload. The Target Storage device is Hyperscale X. This is the first time using Hyperscle X. It is a three-node cluster (Reference Architecture). Commserve will be installed as external. 

Question:

Do I need to install VSA on Hyperscale X so that it can act as a proxy access node for vSphere backup? The transport mode is NBD. 

OR

Does the HSX have an inbuilt VSA it will automatically act as a VSA proxy for backup transport as NBD? VSA agent installation is not required for HSX.

Good morning!

Each HyperScale node has the VSA agent installed. When configuring the VSA subclient you can specify the transport mode desired.
