VCB+VIM2.5 for backup of ESX2 vm's?

Hi all,

 

I already searched the forum and asked google but couldn't find a clear answer if I am able to backup vm's residing on ESX 2.5.2 servers with a VCB 1.5 proxy. All ESX servers are connected to a VIM 2.5U5.

 

Background:

 

All vm's are sitting on a MSA1000. The SAN will be replaced by a newer and faster one and the ESX2.x servers will be replaced with new ESX3.5 servers. Everything is already in place but not talking to each other. I already tested to move a vm from the ESX2 server to a ESX3.5 server and it's new storage. Worked perfectly. But I would feel better if I could do a VCB backup of all ESX2 vm's before. The VIM2.5 server has 2 fc hba's but none of them will be connected to a SAN before I know that I am not going to crash something.

 

1x VCB 1.5 Proxy + VIM2.5U5 with 2 FC HBA's, OS=W2k8 Std.

6x ESX 2.5.2 hosts connected to MSA1000

6x ESX 3.5U4 hosts connceted to 2x DataCore SANMelody storage servers via FC

 

Thanks,

Bernd
