Hello,
I am looking for best method/practices to perform the backup & restore of the infrastructure as detailed below.
VMWare environment with Datastores coming from NetApp storage.
NetApp LUNs are also presented to ESXi servers and mapped to multiple Linux VMs (generally 4 VMs) as RDM LUNs in the physical compatibility mode. OS can see the LUNs as Direct Access LUNs.
4 x VMs are in Clustered environment running Veritas Cluster. The clustered file system are on either of the node at a time and application run from that node.
We are not using IntelliSnap, even if I configure IntelliSnap (NetApp) I think taking image level backup of the VM including RDM LUNs would not be sufficient.
Thanks in advance for your response.
Regards,
Jaspreet
