[Veritas-bu] VMWare Consolidated Backup w/ Snapshot in different LUN

Hi List,

We are considering using the “working.Dir” parameter to have VMWare place snapshots on a different LUN (on the SAN). We do not have space available on our guests’ LUNs for snapshots. We will also use the “sched.swap.dir” parameter to keep the vswp files on the same LUN that guests’ vmdk files are on.

Will the LUN containing the snapshot have to be visible to the VCB Proxy host? Will VCB handle this correctly? Anyone doing this today? We are at NetBackup 6.0MP4 and VMWare 3.5 (VCB Framework and VNIM have been upgraded to the correct version), and will soon be upgrading to NBU 6.5.

Thanks.

--Jeff
