EMC Unity and Veeam Direct SAN Access
Dear all,
To be able to use the snapshot access type for LUNs on EMC Unity do we need a special license? We want to present a LUN in read only mode to a Veeam Backup Server in Direct SAN mode (based on the documentation “Snapshot” mode on VNX Unity means read only”).

Dont think you need a special license.
look at "snapshot attached operation"

Actually i think you can't do that. Here are the supported Dell EMC storages for Veeam 9.5 for backup based on storage snapshots.
Backup from Storage Snapshots —Veeam Availability Suite
Supported storage:
For Dell EMC:
You will need to do this only with direct SAN, but Veeam will create the snapshot in VMware and read the data directly from the storage. It is not necessary put the LUNs in read only mode, just present it to the veeam backup server after the veeam application is installed, Veeam will mark as read only automatically.
I hope this information helps you.

Hi Francisco,
Thank-you for the detailed explanation for VEEAM, but in the link I can see Unity EMC storage is also supported with VEEAM.
May I know how can we Unity integrated with VEEAM to have snapshot backup?
