Overview of the iSCSI topology
The appliance can operate as the VMware backup host and take VMware backups by using iSCSI. In this topology, the appliance functions as an initiator and is connected to a storage array (target) on a TCP/IP network. The storage array can be connected to an ESX host over FC/LAN etc.
The following illustration shows a NetBackup 5240 topology as an example.
The virtual machines are backed up on the appliance over iSCSI.
