3. SAN Functions
Server Linkage Functions
The controller firmware version of the ETERNUS DX must be V10L86 or later.
•
• The Veeam Storage Integration license must be obtained and registered in the ETERNUS DX.
iSCSI and FC host interfaces are supported in Veeam Storage Integration for the connection between backup
•
proxies and the ETERNUS DX.
To connect a Backup Proxy with the ETERNUS DX via an FC, the host affinity settings must be configured for
•
the Backup Proxy using ETERNUS CLI. For more details, refer to "ETERNUS CLI User's Guide".
To enable the ETERNUS DX storage snapshot integration with Veeam Backup & Replication, FUJITSU Plug-In
•
for Veeam Backup & Replication must be installed to the Veeam backup server.
If a volume has several snapshot generations and these snapshots have been created with different resolu-
•
tions, only the oldest snapshot generation can be deleted.
The following volumes cannot be managed or operated by Veeam Backup & Replication:
•
Volumes used for the Storage Cluster function
-
Virtual Volumes (VVOLs)
-
- Volumes with Advanced Copy sessions except SnapOPC+ sessions
Volumes with SnapOPC+ sessions created by ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager
-
Veeam Backup & Replication jobs or operations may fail during a RAID migration, a Thin Provisioning Vol-
•
ume balancing, or a Flexible Tier Pool balancing.
SnapOPC+ is used for Veeam Storage Integration.
•
Thin Provisioning Volumes (TPVs) or Flexible Tier Volumes (FTVs) are used as SnapOPC+ copy destination
volumes.
Configure an appropriate maximum pool capacity for the Thin Provisioning function by taking the total ca-
pacity of volumes used for Veeam Storage Integration and the number of snapshot generations into consid-
eration. For more details about the maximum pool capacity setting, refer to "Thin Provisioning Pool Man-
agement" in "ETERNUS Web GUI User's Guide".
Guidelines for the maximum pool capacity for the Thin Provisioning function:
Maximum pool capacity ³ total capacity of TPVs and FTVs + total capacity of volumes for Veeam Storage
Integration ´ (number of snapshot generations + 1)
It is not recommended to use multiple Veeam Backup & Replication for managing a single ETERNUS DX.
•
In such configuration, an error might occur at the jobs that are in conflict with each other when being exe-
cuted from multiple Veeam Backup & Replication.
