Data Mover 3 Data Mover 2 Marketing Share Sales Share Marketing VM Sales VM Figure 14 Backup Hyper-V VMs on CIFS shares Two Hyper-V CIFS shares are provisioned on VNX: one for the Marketing team and the other for the Sales team. Each member of these teams has an assigned virtual machine and accesses files via their group's respective shares. The Marketing VM stores the virtual machine files on the Marketing share whereas Sales VM stores the virtual machine files on both the Marketing and Sales shares. When the backup application performs a snapshot of Marketing VM, VNX takes a snapshot of the Marketing file system. A snapshot of the Sales file system is not taken since only the Marketing share is used by the Marketing VM. The snapshot data can then be made available to the backup application to perform a backup of the data. When a snapshot of Sales VM is taken, both the Marketing and Sales file systems are included in the snapshot taken by VNX. EMC VNX Series: Introduction to SMB 3.0 Support 22
