Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots

[stones1234]

We have installed new 3PAR Storage. In Veeam Backup and Replication 7.0 I can integrate the storage
under HP StoreServ. The only thing I can create Snapshots, bur Instant recovery from Vmware or Hyper V machines
is not possible.

Still I need another plugin or product from Veeam or HP to restore Files or complete VM from our SAN Storage ?

What about HP Storevirtual ? Under SAN Infrastructure I can only add my HP 3PAR to HP Store Serv, but I cannot integrate storage
to HP StoreVirtual ?

Thanks

Hello Guenter,

The only thing I can create Snapshots, bur Instant recovery from Vmware or Hyper V machines is not possible.

Could you explain in details what goes wrong? Are you able to see the snapshots you made in the Explorer?
If yes, when you double-click on a snapshot you see a list of VMs on the volume. Then right-click on one of VMs and you will see a list of restore options.

Also you can try to restore a VM from the SAN snapshot manually.

Still I need another plugin or product from Veeam or HP to restore Files or complete VM from our SAN Storage?

Veeam Explorer lets you restore VMware VM data directly from SAN snapshots on HP LeftHand, HP StoreVirtual VSA and HP 3PAR StoreServ.
For HP VirtualStorage you need to install HP VirtualStorage VSA Software.

What about HP Storevirtual ? Under SAN Infrastructure I can only add my HP 3PAR to HP Store Serv, but I cannot integrate storage to HP StoreVirtual ?

As has been mentioned above, Veeam Explorer works with HP Storevirtual.
Could you please clarify what you are trying to do and what type of issue you are having?

Thank you.

I can't do nothing with the SAN Snapshots . I see under HP StoreServ our LUNS , but only what I can do is create Snapshots or delete Snapshots.

Must I have any other producat as Veeam Backup and Replication ? Ist the Veeam Explorer integrated ?

Must we install VSA appliance to restore VMs from SAN Snapshots ?

Many thanks

Guenter,

Yes, you need Veeam Backup and Replication to be installed. Veeam Explorer is a part of Veeam B&R.

I can't do nothing with the SAN Snapshots . I see under HP StoreServ our LUNS , but only what I can do is create Snapshots or delete Snapshots.

Have you tried to restore a VM from the SAN snapshot manually?
Process of working with HP SAN storage snapshots is described step-by-step in the user guide. Please review.

If you still have problems, please contact Veeam support team for it for verifying your configuration.

Thank you.

So long as you're running B&R Enterprise Plus, you should have the features you're looking for. You will have to be running Fibre Channel however unless that's changed recently.

I just took this screenshot, Trinity is my VBR server. You can see the snapshots Veeam made and attached to Trinity for backing up. It uses the same process for restoring as far as I've seen.

Thank you for participation, Brandon!

Just a short remark that Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots is available for all editions of Backup & Replication product.

Guenter, a quick video about Veeam Explorer for Storage Snapshots can also be helpful for you.
