Overview:

The goal of the VMware/NetApp solution is to provide a crash-consistent process that takes advantage of snapshot-based backups. The decision to use RDMs instead of vmdk (VM file system) was based on the desire for file-level restore capability. With either topology, it is possible to mount the backup copy as a second disk on a helper VM. However, with RDMs, it is also possible to use SnapDrive to mount the backup copy on a physical server. Also, VMware recommends RDM for situations where SAN snapshots are desired. This paper discusses how Network Appliance and VMware ESX Server 3.0 work together to provide an effective backup solution in the Loyola Marymount University (LMU) environment.
