Issue

  • When a Veeam Backup request comes in to restore a file or a virtual machine(VM), Veeam Backup mounts its associated datastore and in addition, tries to mount the already mounted Veeam Backup datastore as a new NFS 3 datastore.
  • Afterward, OTV discovery eventually detects the Veeam Backup datastore servers as an Unknown “ Phantom” Storage System.
  • Once removed, the datastore returns on every new restore operation.
