Hey All,
did you any inforamtions regarding vSphere Replication and commvault vsa backups ?
Is this supported from commvault end ?
The vSphere Replication is going dow after commvault backuped the vm.
We do not use HotAdd at all for backup and we use NBD transport for these backups. We also tried not to use CBT file for CommVault subclients (some of them as a test), and we got some successful backups without replication failures, but at the very end even on these subclient I was told that replication broke.
We also tested "Crash Consistent" backup type (pure snapshot), but without success.
We do not know if the problem connected with storage performance.
VMWare support told us that the root of the problem is connected with the locks (that came because of CV snapshot operations), and VMWare can do nothing with this locks and stops/breaks replication. At the same time we know 100% that CV uses only VMWare API for snapshot operation, - no hidden functions.
