Hi Todd,

We are also using DPM 2010 which works best with a VSS hardware provider! It is possible to use a workaround but this slows backups down a lot!

To use DSS with Hyper-V and DPM a VSS hardware provider will be a required option. Today we would not have bought DSS if it did not have a VSS hardware provider!

Also - is it still nessesary to reboot the DSS after deleting Volume groups or adding extra discs to a raid group? This should be done ONLINE!

What are the roadmaps for changing this functionality?

Thanks,
Martin
