Does anyone use HPE SimpliVity

Hi Team,

I am wondering if anyone here uses Commvault to integrate with HPE’s SimpliVity in order to drive backups.

Asking because I’m not seeing any advantages. My preference would be to allow for discovery using a service-account which can make use of the VSA agent.

If I’m missing something, please shout-up. Otherwise my understanding will be that SimpliVity is just an ESX plugin and it’s something Commvault doesn’t necessarily need to use.

My specific config (and preference) would be for a Media Agent to exist on one of the Hosts, we install the VSA agent, config a library and away we go.  The fact that SimpliVity exists in the environment … I’m not sure why we would consider engaging it for backup use.

So … it would be interesting to hear your feedback (if anyone has it).

Thanks
