SC Series infrastructure setup and configuration
13 Dell EMC SC Series: Veeam Backup & Replication Integration | 4061-SC-SG
3. After the next storage discovery, the volume list should reflect the volume filtering preferences. The
SC Series arrays and corresponding volumes will be the only volumes available to Veeam storage
snapshot integrated data protection and recovery jobs. Storage discoveries and rescans will complete
quicker with a lower number of volumes and snapshots to work with.
Note: Up to this point, a Veeam data protection job has not yet been created or run. However, the SC Series
volumes and corresponding snapshots found in the discovery process can already be leveraged by Veeam
for Instant VM Recovery. Almost any SC Series snapshot, regardless of how it was created, can be used by
Veeam to recover VM data as long as the volume is tied to a vSphere infrastructure managed by Veeam.
3.2.2 Proxy server object in Dell Storage Manager
The proxy server initiator is activated on-demand and as needed by Veeam. During periods of downtime, the
server object initiator in Dell Storage Manager (DSM) may flag as paths being down along with a red error
status. This may generate unnecessary alerts in DSM. This red alert condition can be eliminated by editing
the server object and unselecting the two boxes which alert on lost or partial connectivity as shown below.
Note: Veeam recommends multipath I/O (MPIO) for proxy servers.
