Hi all,

 

We have configured backup for a Nutanix AHV Hypervisor using the NAS Transport mode.

 

Backups and restores succeed, but we have not opened port 111/2049 to the Nutanix AHV Nodes (which are hosting the NFS Datastores).

 

We do see connections to PRISM (Port 9440).

 

How can our backups/restores succeed using NAS Transport mode? If Commvault can’t connect directly to the nodes, does it fallback and route all traffic via PRISM or something?

 

Hope someone can clarify.

Thanks!

Hello Patrick,

For NAS Transport mode to work we attach the NGS datastore to the VSA proxy. We do not go to through prism so the fact that it is working when you are saying the ports are not open is worth testing.

 

These test are best done on a support ticket as your description is going against the default behavior we would expect. Sorry i don't have much more of an answer than “it shouldn't do that “ haha  

 

Kind regards
