Axians Global All Rights Reserved

Executive Summary

Axians Global (“Axians”) assessed the interoperability of Huawei Plugin for Veeam Backup & Replication with Huawei OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage/OceanStor Capacity Flash Storage/OceanStor Hybrid Flash Storage. The goal of the assessment is to validate that Huawei Plugin for Veeam Backup & Replication is interoperable with Huawei OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage/OceanStor Capacity Flash Storage/OceanStor Hybrid Flash Storage.

In the assessment, Axians has determined that Veeam Backup and Replication software backup and restore jobs will function with Huawei Plugin for the following scenarios:

Network description:

  • Production site deployment:

1) The management network and service network are connected to the VMware server, Veeam backup server and Huawei OceanStor flash storage through switches.

2) Deploy the physical host and install the VMware software. Configure the File System or LUN of Huawei OceanStor flash storage as VMware Datastore. Create VMs in the production datastore and preconfigure production data for VM backup.

  • Backup Server deployment: Deploy the windows physical host and install the Veeam backup software. In this test network, the backup server, backup proxy, and backup gateway server are the same physical host.
  • Backup storage deployment: In this test network, Huawei OceanStor flash storage is used as the backup storage.
