VMware vSphere • Re: Backup server entry with FQDN

Hi Andreas,

Thats correct, however the connection that is being initiated from the remote server to the VBR server will be to the HOSTNAME/NETBIOS off the VBR server
example:
Zone: acme.com
VBR server: VBR01
REPO: VBRRepo01

Add repo on VBR: VBRRepo01.acme.com
Repo will be added as VBRRepo01.acme.com

Connection initiated from REPO to VBR: connecting to VBR01 instead of VBR01.acme.com.

its the same with VSPC and management agents.
When installing VSPC and adding VCC servers, the management agent on the VCC server will connect to the hostname of the VSPC server, not a FQDN.

Enterprise manager is only reachable on hostname, we need to add a regkey and some extra webconfiguration to be able to connect to it via a FQDN.
