Will it affect the another VM that i installed? can VM be installed if theres an another Vm on the storage? what if the VM in my storage doesn't work? Will it affect the another VM that i installed?

In order for a VCB VM to back up other VMs on a FC LUN, you would need some kind of virtual HBA in the VM. I'm not aware of this capability being available yet. With iSCSI and NFS the VCB VM uses a vNIC to get to the storage. Bruce,

Why not FC SANs, too as long as the proxy has access to the same SAN? I don’t understand why I am limited to backing up hosts on iSCSI or NAS when running the proxy as a VM.

Clear as mud? Matthew,
