Deployment and architecture

Following is the deployment and architecture diagram of VMware hardware snapshot-based solution.

Note:

This solution supports only the VMware datastores which are created on the NAS storage. It does not support the VMware datastores created on the SAN storage.

For all the supported NAS storage arrays, refer to the NetBackup Snapshot Manager section, under Snapshot Solutions in the NetBackup Hardware and Cloud Storage Compatibility List (HCL).
