Alright so inch by inch I have been making progress trying to get consolidated backup working to no avail. Currently this is my progress. I have my backup proxy connected to a brocade fiber switch and zoned it in with my SAN. From the FC card utility "Sansurfer" I can see the LUN's. I also added them as an initiator group as well, because that wasn't set up so the LUNs are no longer masked. So my connection from SAN to backup proxy is good. I run vcbmounter -h 192.168.11.50 -u root -p ****** -a ipaddr:192.168.11.162 -r E:\test\fileprint and this is the error I get:
No path to device LVID:47559454-30a6f

Error: Failed to open the disk

It looks like it is seeing the scsi controllers but not the LUN or VMFS. Any help is appreciated.
