The matrix confirmed the firmware and driver version requirement (click to enlarge).įun fact: None of the listed HBAs (except the Synergy HBAs) is supported with the latest StoreOnce G2 products. I found the HPE StoreOnce Support Matrix on the SPOCK website from HPE. And with this firmware and driver version, the backup was running fine (~ 750 MB/s hroughput). The customer has got a SN1100Q (P9D93A & P9D94A) HBA in his backup server, and I was requested to downgrade the firmware to version 8.05.61, as well as the driver to 9.2.5.20. I told them the version number and a day later I was requested to downgrade (!) drivers and firmware.

I filed a case at HPE, uploaded gigabytes of memory dumps and heard pretty less during the next week.Īfter a week, I got an email from the HPE support with a question about the installed HBA driver and firmware.

So the error must be caused by the usage of Catalyst over Fibre-Channel. backup without 3PAR Storage Snapshots to default repository – works fine.backup from 3PAR Storage Snapshots to default repository – works fine.backup without 3PAR Storage Snapshots to Catalyst over LAN repository – works fine.backup from 3PAR Storage Snapshots to Catalyst over LAN repository – works fine.backup without 3PAR Storage Snapshots to Catalyst over FC repository – BSoD.backup from 3PAR Storage Snapshots to Catalyst over FC repository – BSoD.I configured a test backup… and the server failed with a Blue Screen of Death… which is pretty rare since Server 2008 R2. So all drivers and firmware were also up-to-date.Īfter doing zoning and some other configuration tasks, I installed Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 U3, configured my Catalyst over Fibre-Channel repository. Afterwards, a drivers and firmware were updated using the latest SPP 2018.11 was installed. The OS on the StoreOnce was up-to-date (3.16.7), Windows Server 2016 was installed using HPE Intelligent Provisioning. I wrote about a similar setup some month ago: Backup from a secondary HPE 3PAR StoreServ array with Veeam Backup & Replication. This setup allows the usage of Catalyst over Fibre-Channel together with Veeam Storage Snapshots, and this was intended to use. Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 U3a is already in use, as well as VMware vSphere 6.5 Enterprise Plus. StoreOnce and backup server will be connected with 8 Gb Fibre-Channel and 10 GbE to the existing network and SAN. and a new HPE ProLiant D元80 Gen10 with Windows Server 2016Īs new backup server.HPE StoreOnce 5100 with ~ 144 TB usable capacity,.One of my customers bought a very nice new backup solution, which consists of a
