 Transport Mode – The supported methods for accessing the virtual
machine disks include the following:
 SAN Mode – The SAN transport mode can be used when the ESX/
ESXi Server uses Fibre Channel or iSCSI SAN to store the virtual
machine disks. The SAN mode allows you to completely off load
backups to a physical NVBU Client.
To use this transport mode, select san in the Transport Mode list. On
new plug-in installations, the san transport mode is selected by
default.
Important: To use the SAN transport mode, the NVBU Client on which the plug-in
is installed must have SAN connectivity to the VMFS LUN.
 SCSI Hot-Add Mode – The SCSI Hot-Add transport mode can be
used when the NVBU Client is installed on a virtual machine. The SCSI
Hot-Add mode eliminates the need for a dedicated physical NVBU
Client and does not require you to expose SAN LUNs to the NVBU
Client. It can be used with any type of storage.
