Backup of ms cluster vm in ESX servers

[JCKL]

Hi,

I got a problem in backup the ms cluster in VM.

I have a 2 nodes ms cluster run in the ESX. The OS of the cluster are store in HP EVA and the Cluster share disks are store in EMC.

Since mscluster vm do not support the snapshot. Can I use the VCB servers to backup the whole cluster(2OS+cluster disk)? I ask this because VCB will make a snapshot before backup.

Or is there any method to backup?

Thanks

You can do the backup of ms cluster. If you have configured the virtual scsi adaptor, you can also take a snalshot of your ms cluster. Snapshot is not only possible in case of physical adaptor but in that situation you can take snapshot of LUN for backup.
