Error: "Virtual lab supports maximum of 9 networks by default."
Challenge
When configuring a SureBackup Virtual Lab, attempting to configure more than 9 Isolated vNIC adapters, the following error is shown:
Virtual lab supports maximum of 9 networks by default. If you need to add more networks, please contact support.
Cause
The Virtual Lab Appliance is a Virtual Machine, and Virtual Machines can only have a maximum of 10 Virtual NICs.
One of the ten possible Virtual NICs is assigned to the production network to allow the Virtual Lab Appliance to communicate with the Veeam Backup & Replication server, leaving nine vNICs available for assignment to the isolated environment.
Solution
Contrary to the pop-up error message wording, there is no way to bypass this limit.
If your environment necessitates creating a Virtual Lab with more than 9 Isolated Networks, instead create multiple Virtual Labs and appropriately assign SureBackup jobs to those Virtual Labs.
