A Server Virtualization Environments
VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V Environments
VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V environments are supported under specific conditions in an FC
configuration. For VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V support in a virtualization environment, the
setup must meet the following requirements in an FC configuration:
•
The disks presented to the SQL servers must be physical devices.
•
The backup server must be connected directly to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System. The
backup server cannot be connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System through VMware
or Microsoft Hyper-V in an FC configuration.
•
You cannot run the HpRmCli Sql mount command against a VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V
server in an FC configuration.
NOTE: New volumes presented to VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V servers are not surfaced
automatically. You must use the backup host to mount the servers with the HpRmCli Sql mount
command. Therefore, you cannot use either File Copy Restore or Volume Restore to directly restore
an SQL server that resides in a virtualized FC configuration environment.
NOTE: An iSCSI setup is supported in a backup server operating in a Microsoft Hyper-V and
VMware ESX(i) Virtual Machine.
Figure 14 (page 97) shows the relationships between the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System and
VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V servers in a virtualization environment.
