Read-Only mode access via iSCSI from Veeam proxies
I have an HPE LeftHand (p4xxx) infrastructure used to host the datastores managed by a VMware vSphere infrastructure.
LUNs are accessed via iSCSI from the ESXi hosts configured as a cluster.
I use Veeam Backup and replication to manage backup of VMs.
To speed up the backup I configured the physical Veeam server and the virtual Veeam proxies (all Windows Server 2008 R2) to access the same LUNs via iSCSI in Read only mode.
I have some trouble about the right configuration.
Is it correct setting the VMware cluster access the LUNs in read/write mode and the Veeam proxies in read only mode?
What additional settings should i implement to avoid possible damages to the datastores hosted by the LUNs?
Should I configure the Veeam proxies as single nodes or as a cluster?
Is there any further setting I should consider and/or apply?
Regards
M.N.

Re: Read-Only mode access via iSCSI from Veeam proxies
Hi M.N.,
The VMware hosts need read/write access. It would be safest to configure volume access to the Microsoft Veeam host as read-only, if that does not interfere with the normal operation of the backup application. I would recommend starting with a single Microsoft host before undertaking a cluster configuration.
You can find additional information in these Veeam docs,
https://www.veeam.com/wp-veeam-configuration-guide-best-practices-hp-storage.html
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/backup/70/bp_vsphere/index.html
The Veeam Backup & Replication forum has much more information about this application than we can offer here.

Re: Read-Only mode access via iSCSI from Veeam proxies
I have Veeam and HP StoreVirtual setup in the same way you do and yes you have it setup correctly. My Veeam repositories are LUN's in a dedicated StoreVirtual cluster since I use older hardware as the backup destinations, but there is no reason why those LUN's couldn't be part of a cluster that other LUN's used for other purposes related to VMware VM's.
