Attaching a backup of an NFS datastore on IBM System Storage N series and NetApp storage systems

The following example shows you how to add the parameter HOST_NAME_MAPPING in the VMWARE section to specify the mapping for IBM System Storage N series and NetApp storage systems. To attach a backup of an NFS datastore to a different ESX host, the IP address of the VMkernel interface of this host must be known to Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware. The following example shows you how to use the parameter HOST_NAME_MAPPING in the VMWARE section to specify the relationship:

AUXILIARY_ESX_HOST esx01.domain.com
HOST_NAME_MAPPING esx01.domain.com:192.168.1.1

In this example, the backup is attached to the ESX host esx01.domain.com. The host name specifies the management interface of this ESX host but the NFS traffic is transferred over a different interface (VMkernel interface). In this example, the IP address of this VMKernel interface is 192.168.1.1. Therefore, Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager for VMware uses the exports settings for this volume on the storage system so that the IP address 192.168.1.1 is allowed to access the attached volumes.
