QuestionQ47

Troubleshoot common storage failures in typical workload environments

A customer currently uses a VMware-based Veeam backup proxy. They want to perform a direct backup from their FC-connected HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 array.

What might cause the backup to fall back to network mode?

Explanation

For an FC SAN, Veeam Direct SAN access requires a VMware backup proxy on a physical server with direct FC access to the SAN. A VMware-based proxy does not meet that deployment requirement, leaving network mode as the available fallback when direct storage access cannot be used.
