Enable VSS Snapshots of Pass-Through Disks or Physical RDM LUNs

You can enable a VSS requester and provider running in a Hyper-V or VMware VM environment to support snapshots of pass-through disks or physical RDM LUNs in an iSCSI environment.

  1. Install HPE Storage Toolkit for Windows in the VM.
    This step requires a reboot.
  2. Log in to the VM.
  3. Using the MPIO control panel applet (mpiocpl.exe), remove the server Device ID string from the MPIO'd devices.
    This step requires a reboot.
  4. After rebooting the VM, run the Set-Configuration PowerShell cmdlet to configure the array group management IP.

    This is the IP address of array group where the volumes for pass-through disks or physical RDM LUNs reside.

    For cmdlet details, see PowerShell Cmdlets

Discovery IP of the group is configured on the host.
