The good news is that our developers have already created a patch for the latest MP version (which is 8.0U6), and it's currently in testing. Veeam Management Pack v8: this one is pretty much completely broken by some changes introduced between RC and GA builds of vSphere 7. Veeam Service Provider Console v4 (formerly Veeam Availability Console): also no issues with vSphere 7, fully compatible out of the box.
Veeam ONE v10: no issues with vSphere 7, fully compatible out of the box. good thing we started this work over a year in advance, and also big thanks to VMware for being proactive with communicating these changes to us. Because of that, vSphere 7 support was a huge undertaking for us, and it really did require a major release (v10) to deliver. As I already shared here earlier, vSphere 7 dropped a bunch of very old APIs that we've been relying upon since early days of vSphere backup.
#Veeam backup vcenter how to
We also have an idea how to fix this with minimal performance impact, but it will require a significant rewrite and full retest of related functionality, so this change will likely go into the next major Veeam Backup & Replication release only.įinally, I received a few questions whether the vSphere 7 support will ever be backported to Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 Update 4? The short answer is no - it's largely impossible this time. And at that point, we'll be able to declare full vSphere 7 support officially.
This fix is not going to be "ideal", as it will reduce performance of impacted operations somewhat – but because it reuses the existing already tested code, we can ship this fix right in the next hotfix rollup aka Cumulative Patch 2, which we're planning for around mid-May.
#Veeam backup vcenter code
This is what fails now, but there's a workaround: select a backup proxy that is set to use the network transport mode aka NBD (this can be controlled in the backup proxy settings).īased on our research, we should be able to address this issue with hot add transport relatively quickly by re-using the code we already have in the product for VMware vSAN support. Previous vSphere versions did not lock read-only delta files exclusively, which allowed us to read their content directly, thus accelerating some operations significantly. The issue is caused by a change in vSphere 7: it now locks ALL delta files in the snapshot chain for exclusive access. The issue is specific to using the hot add transport mode in Replica Failback and Quick Migration, and causes these operations to fail with the "The file is locked or in use" error for VMs residing on vSphere 7 hosts. But luckily, it's not "in the way" and has a simple workaround too. Veeam Backup & Replication v10: we have finished the regression testing of vSphere 7 GA code against v10, and found only one major issue/incompatibility. Today's digest has nothing but a comprehensive VMware vSphere 7.0 support update for all Veeam products, so you can stop reading now if you don't use vSphere. I'm just going to copy and paste the other weeks Word from Gostev, which I recommend you sign up for Regarding Veeam support for vSphere 7.0, they are in the final testing of this. There is no official support for vSphere 7.0 from Veeam yet.įor vSphere 6.7 and below yes that article still stands.
