Cisco HyperFlex

If you plan to use VMware integration and perform backup and replication from Cisco HyperFlex storage snapshots, consider the following:

• License for Veeam Backup & Replication Enterprise Plus edition must be installed on the backup server.

• Cisco HyperFlex system must be added to the backup infrastructure. For more information, see Adding Cisco HyperFlex Storage System.

• VMs must be hosted on the supported Cisco HyperFlex system. For more information, see the System Requirements section in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

• Only infrastructure rescan is supported. For more information on rescan, see Rescanning Storage Systems.
• Proxy must be properly configured in the backup infrastructure. For more information, see Configuring Proxies.

• VMs must not have VMware vSphere snapshots created using traditional ESXi snapshot technology. Snapshots created using the NFS native snapshot technology may be present.

During backup or replication, Veeam Backup & Replication fails to trigger Cisco HyperFlex snapshots on VMs that already have VMware vSphere snapshots created using traditional ESXi snapshot technology. You can instruct Veeam Backup & Replication to process these VMs in the regular data processing mode. To do this, enable the Failover to standard backup option in job settings.

• The Limit processed VM count per storage snapshots to N option is not applicable to Cisco HyperFlex since snapshots for VMs hosted on Cisco HyperFlex are created at the VM level, not volume level.
• For working with REST API, use default route and default port: https://{hostname}:443.
