Veeam Health Check Data Domain
In addition to the integration with the emc vnx and vnxe storage families veeam availability suite delivers enhanced integration with emc data domain storage devices.
Veeam health check data domain. Everything looks fine the agent is able to store the data on the data domain so all aut. Health check reads all data from the last restore point and across the backup chain. Well the short answer is because of the cifs implementation on the data domain.
When used with deduplication storages this data is rehydrated from the storage which may cause slow process. You can instruct veeam backup replication to periodically perform a health check for the latest restore point in the backup chain. This white paper highlights the features setup and best practices for using veeam with emc vnx vnxe hybrid flash storage and data domain secondary storage including how to.
The procedure was really straightforward and the purpose of this article is to continue with the rest of the deployment by integrating veeam backup and replication platform to use dell emc deduplication appliance as data domain repository. Upgrade to get unlimited domain health checks and a free domain health monitor. During the health check veeam backup replication performs a crc check for metadata and a hash check for data blocks in backup files to verify their integrity.
It is recommended to enable health check on the primary backup job before data is transported by backup copy job to a deduplication storage. We configured the veeam agent on a windows server to store its backup to the data domain ddboost repository via veeam server integration. Since windows and veeam don t natively support nfs the solution is to deploy a linux proxy server to act as the go between.
You can manually perform a health check for the latest restore point in the backup chain. Keep tabs on your dns configuration. In the previous posts we have seen the steps on how to deploy and run the initial configuration setup for the emc data domain virtual edition 3 0.
Our domain health monitor performs over 30 different tests on your domain every few minutes and immediately alerts you to issues. Free users are allowed only one 1 domain health check every 24 hours. During the health check veeam backup replication performs a crc check for metadata and a hash check for vm data blocks in the backup file to verify their integrity.
