I have a virtual center with two DataCenters each containing several hosts.
I'm trying to use a vm in one of those hosts as a backup proxy and, using vddk, hotadd disks to the proxy for reading.
This works as long as I'm targeting virtual machines within the same datacenter as my proxy.
When I try to hotAdd the disks of a vm in the other datacenter, the hotAdd transport is confirmed as valid.. but then the action of hot-adding the disk just.. never happens.
I don't see the
"Hot-adding the following disks of VM with MoRef..." and the subsequent calls
it just jumps to
"SCSI Hot-removing the disks of VM with MoRef..."
followed (eventually) by
"No disks to remove from VM."
since it obviously didn't mount the disk in the first place...
So - as the title suggests - my question is:
is this even possible? CAN I hot add across Datacenters?
