Nimble storage support

[chris_ignum]

Hello ,

would VAO support storage replication for HPE Nimble storage like Netapp in the near future ?

Case #05061034 — technical question

Thank you

Hello!

Yes, in the immediate major release next month (v5).

BTW, including support case ID is not required when asking questions about product and features
So don't worry about this in the future unless you want to post about an error or a technical issue.

Thanks!

Correction - the upcoming Orchestrator v5 release does not include Nimble support. It includes Primera + 3PAR.

Thanks for the update

Hi,

I also have the same question and looking for clarification on the Nimble/Alletra support...

All our Nimble arrays are currently being offered the GAC release of Alletra 6000 (formerly NimbleOS) and since support for Alletra 9000 is included in v5 is there any plan's to support the 6000 version of Alletra (previously Nimble)?

Cheers,

Lance

Hello! We are looking at Alletra 6-series (Nimble) storage integration, however I can't guarantee exactly if/when we would release support. However your feedback helps to prioritise our R&D efforts, so your request is noted, thanks!

Hello team,
Do you have any news about the storage integration with Alletra?
Many thanks for your help

[Alec King]

Hello, Alletra 6000 support is in development. It won't be in the upcoming v6 however we will release it in a future version. Thanks!

Hello,

Can Alletra 5000 support storage integration?

[Andreas Neufert]

Alletra 5000 is basically a hybrid Alletra 6000 and it will be supported with the Storage Integration of the Alletra 6000.

Is there any plans to integrate non-alletra Nimble Storage with Veeam Disaster Recovery Orchestrator? I was very saddened to get two replicating Nimble HF20C SANs, then to find out that Nimble storage doesn't integrate with VDRO. Now I have to reconsider my backup solution, because my RPO went from 1 hour to 24 hours.

[Alec King]

When we release Alletra 6000 support it will include some previous Nimble storage too, assuming that storage can run the required updated Nimble OS and APIs. The exact versions and chassis we support will be confirmed closer to release.
Again, I cannot promise specific release dates, however the development of Alletra 6000/Nimble support is well in progress.

Hi all, unfortunately the support information above refers only to Veeam Backup & Replication support for Nimble/Alletra 6000.
Veeam Orchestrator requires a custom integration with storage to add capabilities such as volume failover, mount volume as datastore, scan and re-register VMs on new hosts, and so on.
Nimble/Alletra 6000 are not yet supported by VRO integration. It's currently not in the short-term VRO roadmap as other development tasks have taken precedence.
