As this is a simple standalone deployment I have not to do so but you may want to experiment with multinode setups. Veeam supports Direct SAN Access for storage systems from EMC (VNXVNXeUnity), NetApp and HPE (StoreVirtual). I understand that Nimble storage systems will soon be added to this list. Ive tried free virtual appliance versions of most of these systems and, after much pain and heartache, finally settled on the HPE StoreVirtual VSA ( V irtual S torage A ppliance) as the easiest to deploy and least resource hungry (important if you have limited resources in your lab). The link below will take you to a simple form that you will need to complete and you will need to create a HPE Passport account if you dont already have one, but there dont seem to be any strings attached to accessing the download. There is a section asking when and from where you purchased the server that you will be running the VSA on. I simply said that I had bought my systems directly from HPE and gave a date about 6 years ago, which worked fine. This section seems to have been included simply to collect usage data. So make sure you have at least 1.4GB of space available on the disk you want to deploy the VSA from. The deployment tool is a Windows-based wizard so youll need to run it from a Windows desktop. The VSA is made up of 8 virtual disks: 1 for the OS and 7 for the SAN volumes. You dont get any opportunity to change this during the deployment so youll need to think about placement. The next 7 disks will make up the usable capacity for our shared volumes. These can be sized during the install, with a minimum size of 5GB. In my case, I have a small server with a HDD and an SSD, so I chose to deploy the OS disk on the HDD and to deploy the capacity disks on the SSD. That way I got as much performance on the capacity disks as possible while maximising the amount of space available on the SSD. I had about 120GB of space available on the SSD so I configured each of the 7 capacity disks at 16GB. Leave the box marked When done open checked and click Unzip. ![]() ![]() In my case I will also be using this port for iSCSI traffic, although best practice would, of course, be to keep these on separate ports and separate VLANs. The VSA is configured with 2 virtual NICs to facilitate this. Here I will be configuring the 7 capacity drives as virtual disks on a preconfigured VMFS datastore so I have chosen Virtual Machine Disk Format (VMDK). First set a default size for the disks (this will simply speed up the process). Once you have set up each disk to have an identical size and location, click Next.
