Symptoms
After enabling NBD on a vProxy in a DMZ, it attempts to process some VM backups for non-DMZ DataStores, resulting in failures.
Cause
Because NBD traffic travels over the network, when other (local) vProxies are busy, NetWorker attempts to send them to idle vProxies - which may be in the DMZ and therefore not reachable.
Resolution
Configure the DMZ vProxies to ONLY accept VMs from DMZ Datastores:
In the settings for the DMZ vProxies, specify the DMZ Datastores in the 'Datastores' field. This field is used to restrict the vProxy's access to only the Datastores defined.
NOTE: This does not support wildcards, and must be an exact match for the VMware Datastore names.
