  • 1.  Backup VM filed use Veeam

    Posted Nov 06, 2019 02:44 AM

    I want to backup VM use Veeam. But ti's failed.

    show "NFC storage connection is unavailable." error.

    I check backup log that show "Establishing connection with the host [esxi]. Port: [902]. Failed."

    Then I  check ESXi host Firewall, the 902 port is open in Incoming Connections.

    What should I do?

    My vCenter Server is 6.5

    ESXi host is 6.5

    Is the Veeam Backup (or Proxy) server in the same subnet as vCenter Server/ESXi?

    Are there any network firewalls active between subnets?

    Can you confirm that the Backup Server has proper network access to vCenter/ESXi, i.e. is not redirected by a Proxy server setting on the Backup Server?

    See also whether https://www.veeam.com/kb1198 helps.

    The Veeam Backup Server is in the same subnet as vCenter Server/ESXi.

    Veeam Backup Server to vCenter Server/ESXi network is OK. I can access them on the Veeam Backup Server.

    This could be a firewall / networking / (split)DNS issue See KB1198: NFC connectivity troubleshooting steps

    This is a network issue. It has to do with distributed switches.

    I change to other network, then it's OK.
