[BETA] [HPE] HPE-VME Single Worker per Backup Job?

Post by phil_nz » 1 person likes this post

We have a Veeam Worker for every node in the VME cluster.

However, if we have a backup job that includes multiple instances across multiple hosts then it appears the job only selects a single worker for the whole job.

This means that VMs on the same host as the worker get backed up 'hot-add' style and the rest are 'NBD'. This generates the 'Performance may be affected' warning.

Is it possible to use multiple workers per job, to get the best performance and possibly run the streams in parallel?

Hello phil_nz

Thank you for your insightful question. You have identified a bug in our worker selection logic.
Unfortunately, there is currently no feasible workaround without rebuilding the plugin. However, we will address and resolve this behavior in the upcoming 1.0 release, ensuring it works as expected.
