Next Generation StorageThe Power of SPBM and Availability

PART 1



bution

SPBM is the foundation of the SDS Control Panel

• A common policy framework across VMFS, vSAN & VVols

• Abstracts underlying storage

• Intelligent placement of services at VM level



bution

The Storage Policy-Based Management association is critical when it comes to backup and restore.

Otherwise, why use the new frameworks if you can’t ensure their service levels on restore.

VMFS snapshots a lot better in recent versions of vSphere, but Snapshots changed completely with vSAN and VVols.

Sounds great for your production workloads, what about backup?



bution

Rules - HowPolicies in the backend are consumed by JOBS (or tasks, or schedules, or batch…)

Jobs are difficult to maintain at scale if they deal with single VMs or groups

The environment is highly changing, instead of changing jobs frequently, let’s have them adjust automatically



bution

• Why wouldn't you be using these for your Veeam Backup & Replication™ jobs?

• Fast• Manageable• Automated

Automate your Veeam backup with vSphere Tags



bution

• Automate your VMs being added to a backup job by using vSphere Tags

• SPBM policies assigned to a VM will also be recovered

Create Veeam Backup Jobs using vSphere Tags



bution

• Ensure that the restore process correctly matches the Storage Policy-Based Management association

IMPORTANT!

• VVol support came with complete vSphere 6 support in Veeam Availability Suite™ v8

• VVol backups follow much of the same workflows of a regular VM backup except their path is much more VVol aware

• Quick Migration allows you to completely reconstruct a VM on a VVol target without unnecessarily linking vCenterenvironments

• Source VM should be hardware 11

History and Overview

vSAN Aware Backups

• Support for vSAN first in mid 2014 v7 Update 4• 6.5 Support in 9.5 Update 1• 6.6 Support in 9.5 Update 2

• Not an Advanced Feature in Itself• VMware VADP Libraries Commonly Used• Extracts Data from ESXi• Reads VMDK of any VM

• vSAN Aware Backups• Works with lack of vSAN Data Locality• Doesn’t Care about where VM Lives (Host)• Looks at Placement of Disk Objects

Example Workflow

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

Veeam Backup & Replication doesn’t care what Host the VM is registered on.

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

More interested in looking at the placement of the VM Disk Objects.

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

One Veeam Backup & Replication Proxy Server per vSAN Host

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

Use DRS Host Affinity rules to keep them locked to a host

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

There is no special vSAN Enabled Backup Option

vSAN Aware Backups Job Logic

vSAN enabled datastore detected by Backup & Replication and objects enumerated



bution

Once we know were the disk objects are…

Backup & Replication tries to map the data to the proxies that can access them

vSAN Aware Backups Job Logic



bution

Proxies are marked as “hotAddSameHost”

vSAN Aware Backups



bution

The final step is to select which proxy will execute the read from vSAN

• Instant VM Recovery®• Quick Rollback

• There are many other specific options for infrastructure restores (Entire VM, VM hard disks, VM files, etc.)

• Veeam Explorers™ for SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and SharePoint

Next Generation StorageEncrypted VMs Backup 101



bution

Encrypted VMs 101KMS is required• Key Management Server (KMS) is mandatory to use encrypted VMs

Doesn’t KMS add SPOF to my vSphere?• Yes, you need to consider your KMS implementation.

What are my options for KMS?• HyTrust (free, 5K USD for support)• 3rd party KMS offeringsVMworld 2017 Content: N

Lost processing modes• Direct storage access modes are impossible for encrypted

VMs (Direct SAN, Direct SAN+BFSS, Direct NFS)

Supported processing modes• Hot Add proxy itself must be an encrypted VM, otherwise

backup will failover to NBD[SSL]

Security• VDDK fetches unencrypted content of encrypted VMDKs, so

do consider enabling backup file encryption in Veeam

Backup of encrypted VMs



bution

We DO NOT encrypt VMs, vSphere does

To ensure this, select the target datastore with VM Encryption storage policy

Applies to full VM restore, replication and Quick Migration (including Instant VM Recovery)
