Sharing SCSI Bus in VMware means you can't snapshot VM - is there a workaround?
Hi All
We use "LSI Logic SAS" SCSI Controllers (SCSI Bus Sharing = Virtual) when deploying Windows MSCS/Failover Cluster.
Page 36 of the following document:
SCSI bus sharing mode must be set to virtual.
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-651-setup-mscs.pdf
However, this looks to mean that we cannot create a snapshot of the VM.
Unable to use Snapshots or perform a backup on virtual machines configured with bus-sharing (1006392)
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1006392
This is a problem for us as we wish to create snapshots for server level backups (we use Veeam).
Does anybody know a work around for this?
Thank you very much.
