Unable to connect via direct SAN te disk in NAS

Post by B_J »

Hello.

I'm using veeam B&R to backup machines residing on a Dell MD3200i enclosure.
The MD is configured with two virtual disks, one disk running RAID 5 and one Running raid 10 with 6 physical disks each.

Until now i only have 2 machines installed, one on each disk.
My problem is this:
Veeam can backup the machine residing on the RAID5 disk whitout any problem using direcs SAN access, but not the one residing on the RAID 10 disk.
The iSCSI initiators on my server and my only proxy sees both disks, i can also browse both datastores inside veeam B&R (under servers-> my vcenterserver name->datastores.

Tried with the manual datastore selection under proxies, but that didn't help.

Any intel on this?

Do you have the direct SAN access patch installed?

No, just the "original" downloaded program, can you provide the patch?

Do you have the corresponging LUN mounted on your backup proxy? Can you see it in the Disk Management snap-in?

It seems you cracked it.

On both the backup server and proxy i had Dells storage driver installed, but for some reason i now had to be reinstalled on the proxy since
disk manager on the proxy complained about "unknown disk".

Thank's for your help.
