Devices name of LUN are /dev/dm-0 and /dev/dm-1, respectively. Mount 2 LUN from 2 different SAN (1 TB LUN from SAN-1 and 1 TB LUN from SAN-2) on a Linux server. Scenario 1: Backup and recovery of data (using mount point while taking backup) which is replicated using IBM spectrum scale
VEEAM BACKUP AND RECOVERY SOFTWARE
you so much for your reply on my query.Īs much I have tested veeam b&r software for backup and recovery of linux systems using IBM spectrum scale (GPFS), the backup process of volume (using either mount point or device) is successful but it's recovery fails and makes the volume unreadable, even dismount the volume.
VEEAM BACKUP AND RECOVERY INSTALL
Veeam can install on the OS and as a result create backups, but really we don’t care about taking backups we care about the recoverability of data, we’ll need more information to assist further! In summary, as much as I hate the phrase “it depends”.
So you could either look to IBM to find out what scenarios they support backups being taken of their nodes (you can run scripts pre and post processing which may be sufficient to “stun” a node whilst being processed) or you could carry out a crash consistent backup and see how IBM Spectrum Scale would handle bringing this node back on line. If it was deployed on Windows (as one scenario I saw showed this), Veeam would look to leverage VSS where possible for application consistency, of which I can’t see IBM Spectrum Scale supports this.
So this raises the questions around how IBM Spectrum Scale handles being processed. However from what I can see Veeam have no specific support for this. So I’m essence, Veeam would allow you to create a backup job targeting one or more nodes within this solution. From what I can see however the operating systems it can run on are supported.
Does Veeam Backup and Recovery software V.11 support backup and recovery of IBM Spectrum Scale (GPFS 5.1.1.0)?ĭisclaimer here: I’ve never used IBM Spectrum Scale.
