HotAdd not working

[chrisn]

Some of my VMs won't back up using HotAdd mode. Is there any way to tell why it switches to LAN mode instead of HotAdd?

Hello! Could you please clarify if you get any error in this case?
Please specify the names of affected VMs and send us a new support bundle so that we could check this case further.

In HotAdd mode, virtual plates from the virtual machines being supported up are naturally mounted to the intermediary, so they can be gotten to by the intermediary as neighborhood circles. The ESX have the intermediary is running on should approach all datastores for the virtual machine. In the event that the virtual machine and the intermediary are not on a similar host, all datastores should be divided among the hosts and the hosts should be inside the equivalent datacenter. 

In the event that SAN mode isn't accessible, HotAdd mode can accomplish near SAN mode execution. 

To empower gradual reinforcements of virtual circles, Changed Square Following (CBT) should be utilized for the main full reinforcement. (CBT is empowered for reinforcements of course.)
