1 OverviewThis document provides instructions for installing and configuring Veeam ® on ETERNUSCS800 S6

The Veeam feature on the ETERNUS CS800 allows the system to perform backup andreplication with Veeam software on VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualenvironments.

The Veeam Agent (VAE) runs in the ETERNUS CS800 process space with direct access toETERNUS CS800 resources.

The simplified block diagram below shows the data flow in a typical VAE installation.Management communication is omitted for simplicity. The VMs on the customer networkare identified by the Veeam backup server. The VM backups can be full or incrementalusing the Veeam Agent changed block tracking. At the scheduled backup, the Veeam Agentworks with the Veeam Backup Server to facilitate the data movement from the backupsources to the ETERNUS CS800. The backup data is sent by the Veeam Agent to the NFSShare for deduplication and storage in the blockpool.

2 System RequirementsThe following items are required to successfully install and configure Veeam on anETERNUS CS800 system.

CS800 Model Only the following ETERNUS CS800 models are supporting VAE:

l ETERNUS CS800 S6 Scale

l ETERNUS CS800 S6 Entry Extendable (aka Entry2).

The ETERNUS CS800Entry (aka. Entry1) model does not supportVAE.

CS800 Software ETERNUS CS800 software version V3.4.2 or newer is required torun VAE.

System Status The system has to be in a healthy state prior to enabling Veeam.All hardware and software issues must be fixed and outstandingadministration alerts and service tickets must be closed.

As a reboot of the ETERNUS CS800 is required, a downtime ofapprox. 15 minutes has to be scheduled.

Admin User You need an ETERNUS CS800 remote management console (GUI)or CLI login with the Admin role.
