Use MSA 2060 as backup repository in Veeam Backup

[David1402]

Hi

We have a DL380 G10 with a HPE SN1100Q 16Gb Dual Port Fibre Channel, also we have a MSA 2060. MSA directly connected to server by FC to SN1100Q. ESXi 6.7 Installed on server and a veeam backup installed as a VM, also we have other VMs on server. we want to backing up or VMs to storage and SN1100Q Passed through to Veeam Backup. but we cant introduct MSA in veeam not as backup infrastructure or repository. Are we in true Way? 

thanks

Hi,

should work, as you planed.

Create a Volume on the MSA and present it to the ESX.
Then create a new Datastore in ESX.
Now add a new Disk from this Datastore to the Veeam VM.
Inside the VM there is now a new Windows Disk, which you can format with ReFS.
Add this Disk as a Veeam Repository.
