While configuring my lab, I would like to use some local storage inside two of my servers, by installing some VSA. I usually run with great satisfaction the HP VSA, who has been renamed recently StoreVirtual even if it keeps in some places its old name LeftHand (and also in my heart…)
From some time 10.0 binaries are available as a direct downloads rather than as an upgrade only available inside the 9.5 version of the Central Managent Console. So I downloaded the ESXi version and I installed two of them, one per server.

In a previous post, I explained how to install and configure HP Insight Control for VMware vCenter 7.1.1 to monitor and manage an HP LeftHand storage directly inside vCenter Web Client.
The HP software also adds VASA capabilities to vCenter, useful to create Storage Profiles based on effective storage capabilities directly acquired from the storage rather than by creating them by hand. As per VMware website:
VMware vStorage APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) is a new set of APIs that enable vCenter to see the capabilities of storage array LUNs and corresponding datastores. With visibility into capabilities underlying a datastore, it is much More >

I’m here at HP Discover, and as always happens, many vendors take advantage of the spotlight at these kind of conferences to unveil their new products.

Some bloggers already wrote about this news, I’m going to wrap up about these and other news when I’ll be back home, for now you can read this post by Hans De Leenheer to get an overview.
Today, Veeam is announcing a new storage support for their new More >
Veeam VESS series 5: Instant VM recovery via LeftHand snapshots

In the previous posts, I explained how to configure and use Veeam Explorer for SAN Snapshots to create san-based snapshots of your VMs and make them available directly inside Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR).
Now it’s time for the last post: how to use them to do restore operations.
One of the beauties of this tool is the complete integration with the standard backups already available in previous version. If you look at the backup console, you can do the same kind of restores available for usual backups:
From VBR point of view, there is nothing different, and I would finish the post More >
