57 Dell Virtual Storage Manager: Installation Considerations and Local Data Protection | 2079-BP-V-VSM
Additionally, there is an option to include iSCSI within the guest mounted iSCSI volumes. This requires the
virtual machine to be powered on and the VMware Tools installed. VSM will analyze the virtual machines for
iSCSI attached volumes, and snapshot them at the same time as the virtual machine.
Note: A virtual machine folder may consist of VMFS based virtual machines, and vVol-based virtual machines.
However, a snapshot of a virtual machine that is spread across a traditional VMFS datastore and a vVol datastore
cannot be completed using either the VMware or VMS tools and is not recommended.
3. Click OK to start the snapshot creation.
4. The status of the snapshot creation can be observed by clicking on the VSM Job Status popup in the bottom
right corner of the vSphere Web Client.
