Hello Community,
I would like to check if anyone has practical experience or official guidance regarding the following scenario.
Has anyone successfully presented a LUN from a Dell Unity array via Fibre Channel to either:
-
Veeam Backup Appliance v13, or
-
Veeam Hardened Repository (JeOS)
with the intention of using that LUN as:
-
a backup repository, or
-
an additional backup disk for the repository?
My main concern is related to the fact that both the Veeam Software Appliance and VHR (JeOS) are locked down by default for security and immutability purposes. I could not find clear documentation or a community thread that explicitly discusses:
-
Whether FC-based block storage is supported in this scenario
-
Any limitations or restrictions when attaching external SAN LUNs
-
Potential security or immutability implications
-
Required configuration steps (if supported) or reasons why it may not be recommended
Most available documentation and examples focus on local disks or direct-attached storage, which makes this use case a bit unclear.
Any real-world experience, best practices, or official references would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
