Using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator To Connect to VMware Datastores

As discussed previously, Microsoft iSCSI Initiator is used on the host where Veeam is installed to allow

Veeam to:

• Connect but NOT mount the ESX/ESXi datastores on which the VMs reside

• Connect but NOT mount the ESX/ESXi datastores to which VMs can be backed up

NOTE: This step is very similar to the previous section, in which Microsoft iSCSI Initiator was used to

connect to iSCSI volumes. However, because these volumes are formatted as VMFS, Windows does not

show them in My Computer. They do, however, appear as volumes in Disk Management.

There is a potential risk that the VMFS volumes are re-signatured by Windows if you attempt to initialize

one of these volumes and or assign it a drive letter. To prevent this from happening, Veeam recommends

that the diskpart automount be disabled. This is not applicable if you are using Veeam Backup & Replication

version 5, since it will automatically disable automount.
