Which attribute can be modified after adding a VM Direct Engine in PowerProtect Data Manager?

After a VM Direct Engine is deployed and added to PowerProtect Data Manager, certain attributes can be modified. The transport mode, which dictates how data is moved (e.g., HotAdd, NBD, NBDSSL), is an editable property. This allows administrators to optimize backup performance or troubleshoot connectivity issues without needing to redeploy the entire engine. Core deployment attributes like the ESXi host, network, and datastore are fixed upon initial setup and cannot be changed.

A. The network configuration is set during the VM Direct Engine deployment and cannot be modified later through the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

B. The datastore is selected when the VM Direct Engine OVA is deployed and is not an attribute that can be changed post-deployment.

D. The ESXi Host on which the VM Direct Engine resides is fundamental to its identity and location; it cannot be changed after registration.
