use VM as Mount Host
Hi, I have taken snapshots of a server and i would like to use a mount host to mount the snapshot and use it for recovery testing. The original snapshot is from a physical server which is a member of a cluster.
Does RM have the capability to use a Virtual Machine as a Mount Host?

- Yes it does, there is a section in the Administrators Guide that covers VMware setup and configurations. There is also a whitepaper titled "EMC CLARiiON Integration with VMware eSX Server" on powerlink. Search on that title name and you should find it.
What version of RM are you running. The ESX integration has really improved in the last few releases. markwragge

we are using RM 5.2 service pack 1.
i have not fully read the admin guide for RM + Vmware yet.
are you certain that it states that an NTFS disk from physical server can be mounted to a VM that is going to be the mount host.
this would mean that there is some method of presenting an NTFS disk to an ESX server and then mounting it to a VM - usually the VM disk is allocated thorugh a datastore!alwaysonline
