Hello Alex Ra,

Which error are you getting when trying to add VSS provider?

Hello Alex Ra,

What happens if you select #4? Based on the output it is finding the host. Are you able to get the ip address of the host?

The problem is that after entering the password, I get thrown into the command prompt and I can't select anything from the list.

I assume that the problem is related to Windows Server 2025, since I did not have such a problem on version 2022. Windows Server 2022 runs SRV-HVC2N*-AUTO

Hello Alex Ra,

I would say that you are correct that it is a 2025 issue, as 2025 is not showing as supported as of today.

I changed the connection string and got a rather strange output:

C:\Program Files\Dell EMC\Unity\VSS Hardware Provider\bin>RestCli.exe connect -t Unity -i 10.101.0.231 -u admin

deleting and re-adding srv-bckp-auto did not help

on the unity side, I don't have network addresses for hosts specified.
