Which attribute can be modified after adding a VM Direct Engine in a PowerProtect Data Manager?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The VM Direct Engine (also known as the vProxy) is the virtual appliance responsible for performing data movement during VMware backup and restore operations. While some attributes are 'baked in' during the initial OVF deployment, others are logical configurations that can be adjusted.

Transport Mode: This setting determines how the engine accesses the virtual machine disks (e.g., HotAdd, NBD, or NBDSSL). Administrators can modify the Transport Mode at any time after the engine has been added to PPDM to optimize performance based on the current network or storage environment.

Fixed Deployment Attributes: Attributes such as the Network, Data Store, and the ESXi Host where the appliance is physically located are part of the initial virtual machine deployment parameters in vCenter. If these underlying infrastructure components need to be changed, it typically requires a redeployment of the VM Direct Engine appliance to ensure proper alignment with the vSphere environment.

Other Modifiable Settings: In addition to Transport Mode, administrators can also modify the engine name and the maximum number of concurrent sessions after the engine has been registered.

But what about B) Data Store? That might be adjustable too.

I feel like it could be C) Transport Mode. More flexibility there.

D) ESXi Host seems fixed. Can't change that easily.

I’m leaning towards Transport Mode, but I remember there was some confusion about which attributes are locked after setup.

I want to say it's the Data Store that can be changed after adding the VM Direct Engine, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like we practiced a similar question about modifying VM settings, but I can't recall the specifics on this one.
