Connect IBM Flash System 5015 to hyper-v VBR

[Hiroyuki Uemura]

Hi Experts,

I have a customer who planning connect IBM Flash System 5015 to hyper-v VBR.


https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backu ... ml?ver=110
In this Hyper-v userguide, describes below

The Block or file storage for VMware vSphere option is not available for Microsoft Hyper-V integration.

If you do not select any check box, Veeam Backup & Replication displays an error. To proceed with the wizard, select at least one check box.

Can we connect IBM Flash System 5015?


Regards,

Hi,

no, there is not such a storage integration you know from VMware for hyper-v.
That said, you can connect it and use a hardware vss provider if available, but you won’t be able to run our storage integrations such as bfss.
There is an important note in the very beginning of the storage integration page:
“ You cannot back up Hyper-V VMs with the help of the integration. Instead, you can add storage systems to the backup infrastructure and use the capabilities of NAS or Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows to create snapshots of the storage volumes.”
So for NAS and agent based it will work but not if you compare with VMware storage integration.

Thanks
