Hyper-V SMB UNC LocalIP/name avoiding loopback
Hello,
I have the following scenario:
Two standalone servers joined to a domain
(I can't set up a failover cluster at the moment)
What I want to achieve is:
Access the storage resources via UNC SMB paths in order to perform a storage migration from both nodes
\\svhpv1\VMs
\\svhpv2\VMs
But when I try to have svhpv1 access \\svhpv1\VMs, I get an "Access Denied" error.
I believe this error occurs because the access is being attempted through the loopback adapter.
I’m experiencing the same issue with svhpv2 when trying to access \\svhpv2\VMs.
How can I avoid the loopback so I can properly configure my scenario?
Any help is appreciated.
