v8 and Instant VM Recovery from Netapp

Post by ikiris »

I noticed that the Instant VM Recovery form Netapp uses a FlexClone, resulting in a two step process (restore mounts a flexclone, then migrate/svmotion the VM to the production datastore).
Is there any thoughts on using snaprestore/SISClone to do in-place Vm restore? This would change the process to a single step.

The ability of Veeam Backup to restore from any snapshot is a good advantage over the Netapp VSC (which can only restore from VSC created snapshots), but the VSC does do snaprestore/SISClone for the in place restore.

Yes, we were considering this during the design stage. However, SnapRestore requires NFS volumes, while we needed a universal approach that will work with block storage as well (FC and iSCSI). Thanks!
