Tip: When all of the following conditions exist:
- The datamover is installed on a virtual machine within the same (under) a network demilitarized zone (DMZ) where other virtual machines are located.
- No permission exists to open a port from the vCenter to the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
- Port 31501 is open from the Tivoli Storage Manager server to the vCenter (TCPPORT 31501).
The following errors are returned during a scheduled backup vm operation (schedmode prompted):
ANS1017E
ANS9020E
ANS5216E
To resolve these errors, install the data mover on (outside) the DMZ.
