System Center Data Protection Manager 2010 tested hardware VSS provider for backup of Virtual machines deployed on Clustered Shared Volumes

The table below contains the list of VSS hardware provider tested to be compatible with DPM for protecting virtual machines deployed on clustered shared volumes (CSV).

The fact that a VSS hardware provider for a certain SAN is not listed below does not mean that it is not compatible, but that it has not been tested. If you have questions regarding VSS hardware provider for certain SAN not listed in the tables below, please post it in the DPM newsgroup ( http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.dat... ) or send an email to dpmsanhs@microsoft.com .

Note: The product group will continue to work with our existing and new partners to keep the information on this page updated.
