Good day!
I would like to know how the Hyperscale X cluster is selected for the VMware backup VSA access node and how agent-based backup can point to the HSX cluster in the policy/plan.
This is the first time, planning for an HSX deployment. Will there be a virtual name automatically created which can be selected in the Backup Plan/policy?
Hi
When you install the HSX a storage pool is created, this storage pool is configured as a backup target in the SP/Plan which will result in all clients using the SP/Plan to load balance over all nodes automatically.
Regarding the VSA functionality, in the access node list for the hypervisor you can configure a group containing all nodes or assign them individually. The first node in the list (if reachable) will act as a coordinator proxy and assign / load balance jobs to other VSA's in the list. If connection is lost or not available the next VSA access node will act as the coordinator proxy.
Hi Jos Meijer, Thank you for sharing the information! I’m very clear now about how the storage pool load balances the data, and how VSA access node load balancing.
