Hi all, my existing customer wishes to onboard  their Tanzu workload on to their their existing Commvault platform . Currently they are using Velero to backup their Tanzu workload. Two key considerations

 

1) Can we backup Tanzu Management plane ?

2) Can we backup their PVC volumes that resides on the vsan files services ? 

In terms of backup ,since Tanzu CSI is not being exposed to us and we will be doing streaming of the volumes. Are there any considerations in terms of architecture?

Hi @lawysy

Yes, Tanzu is supported, but some restrictions apply see: https://documentation.commvault.com/2022e/expert/151800_restrictions_and_known_issues_for_kubernetes.html


As for the CSI this is not a specific Tanzu CSI but I think this is the regular vSphere CSI. In case this cannot be leveraged than it should use a regular (streaming) backup.

@Onno van den Berg ,

 

Thanks, Yes i do come across that Tanzu can be supported and there are restrictions. Hence now i wish to receive confirmations that protecting Tanzu vsan PVCs are good to go.
