Virtual Lab - Multiple VLAN's

[LinkeLoe]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a virtual lab and SureBackup, but I'm running into a problem with mapping the production networks to isolated networks.

We have a Hyper-V cluster along with System Center VMM running and on this cluster I have defined one Hyper-V Logical Switch for several different VLANs. For each of these VLANs I have created a VM network in SCVMM, connected to the logical switch. I have mapped the production network for one VLAN and this is working fine. When starting a SureBackup job with VM's in this VLAN, I can reach all of them. Now, I'm trying to map another VLAN in the production network to another isolated network, but I get the message that the production network is already specified in an existing mapping rule. This seems logical to me, because Veeam specifies the logical switch, rather than the VM network I created in System Center VMM.

How should I set this up correctly in a way that Veeam can map all of the VLANs instead of just one?

Leo, currently network mapping in virtual lab is performed by the network name only, so there's no easy way to implement lab with multiple VLANs. In Veeam B&R v8, however, we've implemented the ability to specify different VLAN IDs.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the reply.

Do I understand that in v8 it will be possible to map a Hyper-V logical switch multiple times for different VLANs on the production network? Then I guess I have to wait for v8 to be released...

Yes, you're understanding it right.
