E-Series SANtricity Management Plug-ins for SANtricity Plug-in for VMware vCenter

Hello,

I'm going to implement a two controllers E2800 dedicated for VEEAM backup repository via ISCSI and i've a few questions :

- The plug-in for vCenter is stilll recommended ? Can't download anything from the support website. All articles / videos/ KB that i've found seems not recent at all

- Each controller are accessible from a web based interface which is santricity system manager, is there a way as ONTAP to manage it as a cluster ?

- If you have any best practices for VEEAM for backup repository ? DDP or volume group ? How many volumes per controller ?

Thanks in advance for all your answers.

I found this article online. It is a blog post and seems to be relevant.

https://www.veeam.com/blog/tips-and-tricks-on-leveraging-netapp-e-series-arrays-in-veeam-availability-suite-designs.html

To answer the questions as best i can.

1. I don't know if that is needed sorry.

2. E-series uses SANtricity not OnTap so no.

3. that sounds like a question best asked of VEEAM since they are the ones that would need things set up.

I found TR-4471 which discusses the best settings for Veeam and E-Series controllers including the E2800 controller.
