Configuring VSS/VDS for iSCSI Disks
GuardianOS provides VSS and VDS hardware providers to support Microsoft
Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) and Virtual Disk Service (VDS) for iSCSI
disks.
Note
VSS/VDS operations are supported on iSCSI disks created using GuardianOS
v5.2 and later.
• The VSS hardware provider provides a mechanism for taking application-
consistent native snapshots of iSCSI disks without performing full application (or
system) shutdown. A snapshot of an iSCSI disk can be automatically created by a
backup job run by a VSS-compatible backup application, so that the job backs up
the snapshot volume rather than the main production volume.
Note
VSS iSCSI snapshots are managed by the Windows client and represent the
iSCSI disk, not the Snap volume the iSCSI disk resides on. They are not related to
GuardianOS snapshots as described in Snapshots.
Note
VSS iSCSI snapshot rollback is not currently supported.
• The VDS hardware provider allows administrators to natively manage
SnapServer iSCSI disks, using any VDS compliant management console
application.
SnapServers support VSS and VDS on the following platforms:
For more information on using VSS and VDS, see the Online Help.
Note
RAID types listed in
Storage Manager for SANs
when creating an iSCSI disk
reflect the types of RAIDs already configured on the SnapServer. Once a RAID
type is selected, the SnapServer automatically chooses a SnapServer RAID of the
selected type and volume to create the iSCSI disk on.
