Using Hardware VSS Provider from inside VM

[goppi]

Hi.

Does anybody has experiences if it is possible to use a hardware vss provider

for a san storage from inside a VM for a physical RDM?

What we want to do is to create a san based snapshot of a RDM LUN

from inside a VM and after that present that snapshot to a different

server.

Any suggestions are most appreciated.

Thank

goppi.

To answer my own question:

After some testing I can confirm that this is possible with some workarounds and limitations.

To clarify: Subject was VSS/VDS for HPE MSA 1040/2040.
