Hi,
We are planning to change the setting of our current Commvault Server transport mode from Network to SAN based.
However, when I check the manual, it says the SAN transport mode must a physical Server as the Proxy Server to back VMs
The fact is, we have been using Netbackup environments at somewhere else for years where the master / Media Servers doing VM backups are Virtual Machines but with HBA cards directly presented to them, so that all the datastores are visible to them.
So, I’m just wondering why many backup software vendors (like Commvault) don’t support the configuration of using a Virtual Machine as the backup host for SAN (transport mode) backup VMs ?
Thanks,
Kelvin
