Hello. I have a problem I need resolved and hoping someone out there has a EMC VNX series SAN who has successfully figured this out.
We recently purchased a 40TB Netbackup 5230 solution and will be backing up our VMware clusters which their data is stored on the VNX SAN. This is fiber channel. I have the Netbackup appliance already zoned through our switch fabric and am successfully backing up one of our VMware ESXi 5.5 clusters.
I added the Netbackup appliance to the storage group of the VM cluster and all is well. My issue is that now I need to backup our other VM cluster which is a different storage group on the VNX. Any of you who know EMC/VNX know that a host can only be assigned to one storage group at a time. So my question is simply this. Given I have a EMC VNX 5300 (fiber channel) and a Netbackup 5230 how can I backup multiple storage groups at once?
Any help is greatly appreciated as I have hit a dead end with both vendors involved.
