3PAR integration with VBR
I ask you a question. I have my Veeam Backup server that is backing up datastore hosted VMs coming from a 3PAR storage. The connection between the ESXi servers and the 3PAR is by a SAN switch through Fiber Channel.
I want to integrate the 3PAR to Veeam to be able to see the snapshots that the storage takes and have the option to restore from the snapshots.
The question I am asking you is how is the physical and logical connection between 3PAR and Veeam Server has to be.
Thank you.

Re: 3PAR integration with VBR
The main backup server need access to the 3par webservice interface. The Proxies (data transport) need access to iSCSI and/or FibreChannel interfaces.

Re: 3PAR integration with VBR
What I am understanding is that all the LUNs that are connected to all the ESXi servers that end up being the datastore of the port virtual infrastructure have to be connected to the Proxy server?

Re: 3PAR integration with VBR
When you use the storage integration, you do not need to present the datastore volumes to the Proxy server. The storage integration presents automatically only the snapshots to the Proxy on demand.

However for FibreChannel usage you have to create a hosts entry with the WWNs of the Proxy server.

Re: 3PAR integration with VBR
this is what you would do with "Direct SAN" mode. but in your case you ask about Storage Integration and Backup from Storage Snapshots so what Andreas wrote applies.
