Veeam support for vSphere 6.0

March 13, 2015 1 By Allan Kjaer

Veeam don't have support for vSphere 6.0 at the moment but they are working on it here is what they are saying on there forum.

Veeam Backup & replication:

Not yet, as currently available code does not support it.

We will estimate and communicate final support timelines once we deploy the RTM build of vSphere 6 in our lab, and evaluate the amount of changes since the latest vSphere RC code. Historically, it was taking us between 2 to 3 months since the RTM code availability to release support for the new vSphere releases. And with that, we have been consistently one of the first data protection ISVs to support new vSphere releases.

On a side note, vSphere 6.0 has certainly been the most complex release in the history of vSphere releases for us to support due to a brand new storage technology introduced (VMware VVOLs). For all the past years, we've only had to deal with VMFS, which did not change much from release to release…

If you're planning to upgrade your infrastructure to vSphere 6, please be aware that currently Veeam ONE v8 does not support it. We will estimate and communicate final support timelines once we deploy the RTM build of vSphere 6 in our lab.
