Dell VNXe, VNX, SC Limitations

If you plan to perform operations with Dell storage snapshots, consider the following limitations:

• Dell VNXe
• Dell VNX Block
• Dell SC

Dell VNXe

The following limitations apply to Dell VNXe storage systems:

• [For Veeam Agent integration] Concurrent operations from the same LUN (such as backup and restore) are not supported due to Dell VNXe limitation.
• [For Veeam Agent integration] In Dell VNXe, you cannot export more than one storage snapshot for a LUN or LUN group concurrently. For this reason, Veeam Backup & Replication can perform only one task that uses storage snapshots at the same time.

  Dell VNX Block

  [For Veeam Agent integration] The following limitations apply to Dell VNX Block storage systems:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication supports LUNs that reside on Storage Pools.
  • To take LUN snapshots, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the VNX snapshot technology. Make sure that you have a license that covers this technology. The SnapView snapshot technology is not supported.

Dell SC

[For Veeam Agent integration] Make sure that multiple proxy servers are not part of a single Server object.
