I use SnapVault and it works very well, however I’m using NFS instead of iSCSI/FC LUNs. If you’re running ESX on NetApp I highly recommend trying it, although NFS is not cheap if that’s all you use it for.

Subject: Any luck with SnapMirror & ESX LUN's ?

Hi,

Anyone used SnapMirror successfully with ESX LUN's ?

I realise it will only be a crash-consistent copy and I have to enable LUN re-signaturing for ESX to pick it up but this seems like a handy way for me to backup a few DMZ VM's on a LUN (on a seperate secured iSCSI vlan) to another LUN on the same SAN.

Cheers,
Raj.
