SC Series infrastructure setup and configuration
10 Dell EMC SC Series: Veeam Backup & Replication Integration | 4061-SC-SG
6. Choose the protocol which will be used between the backup proxy server and SC Series storage. In
the following example, iSCSI is used. A backup proxy can be automatically selected or specifically
named here.
Note: In smaller environments, the backup server and the proxy server often are the same server sharing
both roles. In larger environments, there may be separate proxy servers. In addition, Volumes to scan may
be filtered now or later to speed up the scan process and reduce the number of storage objects visible in
Veeam Backup & Replication. Live Volumes will automatically be filtered out because they are not supported.
7. As part of the prior steps and in iSCSI environments, Veeam will automatically create the necessary
proxy server object(s) on the SC Series storage with the appropriate iSCSI initiator information. In
Fibre Channel environments, the proxy server object(s) must be created manually as well as zoned to
the SC Series storage. Proxy server LUN mappings are not required as Veeam handles this
automatically.
