VMCE2020 Exam - Question 6


A customer has a physical proxy configured for Direct Storage Access without failover to network mode. The backup fails. What could be the issue?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

The backup might fail if the storage is not added into the storage infrastructure within the backup and replication console. When using Direct Storage Access, the storage must be properly configured and recognized within the backup console to ensure that the proxy can access and process the necessary data. If the storage is not added, the proxy server will not be able to see and back up the VMs on that storage, leading to a failure.

What do you thing about it? Textual under limitations: Veeam Backup & Replication uses the Direct SAN access transport mode to read and write VM data only during the first session of the replication job. https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/direct_san_access.html?ver=100

that refers to the write part (target side) . the read part (source side) always uses direct san acces mode even during the subsequent sessions of replica job

Based on the question, assume this is the first time job and it failed . So the read and write access must be provided to start the job.

IDE and sata are supported. It is in the link you provided "IDE and SATA disks can be processed in the Direct SAN access transport mode."

Sorry, that's the correct "E", I put the "D" wrong. If the question referred to recovery, it would be "D", but in this case the configuration limitation would apply, which would be "E"
