Hi guys,
I have an infrastructure like this :
IBM Blade HS 20-21-22 blade servers on a Bladecenter s Chassis. Qlogic Sas switch and a IBM TS 3200 Library ( 3580 TL series). All of my blade servers are ESX 4, and of course vcenter 4 server installed.
The Ts 3200 library connected to chassis through SAS interface ( Addtionaly, library has a Fibre Channel controller, bladecenter has no fc switch Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
)
One of my VMs as installed as a backup server. Added a large vmdk ( 1 TB ). and formatted into VMs windows as a ntfs volume.. I use veeam to backup other vms. It works perfectly.
But veeam cannot backup to library. Veeam backup other VMs to large vmdk.
Problem is here : I want to use ts3200 for backup Veeam's backup files to cartridge. I was add a scsi device to vm as IBM Tape device. Windows can see Library, but cannot use it.
Problem is here !! I cant use ibm library. Either device freezes and vm stops responding ( into windows ), or can see and install driver but doesnt work.
I tried to symantec backup exec to write data to cardtridge. Symantec drivers are ok but, in symantec backup exec, i cant see library.. Screenshot is below.
I know, this may very complex question.But i need to backup to tape..
There are 3 screen shot :
1. normal physical server.
2. virtual machine
3. vm scsi conf
Guys, any suggestions ?
