Hi, With VMware it is so much easier. You just need to install the equallogic HIT kit on the backup proxy, present the datastore luns to the backup proxy and choose direct SAN access in the VMware proxy settings in veeam.
Veeam do not yet support equallogic for hardware based snapshots. I am planning on doing a blog post on that if it will ever be supported. If you need more assistance on that let me know. Can you please provide information, i am trying to fix backup issues at my work which is taking ages to complete. I have documented the process here. I found it needs about 5 mintues to finish the snapshot creating, how about the speed in your testing?
Hi, thanks for commenting. The snapshot process takes between 2. The advantage of using the hardware VSS provider is that you offload the snapshot creation from the hosts. If you use a Veeam off-host backup proxy; data de-duplication,compression and transfer, is offloaded from the Hyper-V hosts to the backup proxy.
This means that overall backup time should be reduced, as data will be read directly from the SAN, even though the snapshot creation may take longer. Keep in mind that the snapshot creation time includes mounting the snapshot volume to the backup proxy. If your change rate is only a couple of Megabytes, this may result in the backup process taking longer.
Hope this helps. Hi Brian, useful article, thanks. Just one detail: did you used the same Auto-Snapshot Manager Document Directory for the cluster also on the backup proxy? Hi Andrea, Thanks for commenting. Since we are not using auto-snapshot manager to create the snapshot and transport it to the backup server, this need not be setup. ASM is configure so that the VSS HW provider is given the credentials to connect to the array and create application aware hardware snapshots.
From what I learned during a case I had open with Veeam, the Veeam agents will take care to export the snapshot meta data and send it to the backup proxy for it to attach the required snapshot. If you use ASM to create transportable snapshots for other purposes, as suggested in the application, use a file share. For example you have a physical server and you need to take a snapshot of one of the volumes using ASM so that you can attach it to the backup server to backup the data directly.
I set the file share on the backup server itself and configure it as the document directory. Hope I answered your question.
