Is this example, this is a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager. In the next screen, specify the IP or the DNS of the VMM instance (or the standalone Hyper-V or the Hyper-V cluster). To add either standalone Hyper-V, cluster or VMM server, navigate to Virtual Machines and right click on Microsoft Hyper-V. In large infrastructure, it is recommended to connect Veeam directly to the Hyper-V clusters. VMM can slow down the Veeam interface when they are hundred hosts and thousand VM. This configuration is not recommended in large environment. Once the VMM console is installed, we can discover Hyper-V hosts across VMM.
So I run the VMM wizard to install the VMM console as below. Add Hyper-V hosts to Veeam Install VMM agentīecause I will discover Hyper-V hosts across VMM, I have to install the VMM console on the Veeam server. In this topic, I’ll will create a backup job for Domain Controllers. My Hyper-V cluster hosts several VM such as Domain Controllers, SQL Servers (AlwaysOn Availability Group), System Center, PKI and so on. 2x Hyper-V hosts in hyperconverged cluster (Storage Spaces Direct).To make this topic, I have deployed the following infrastructure: Even if there is no agent in the VM, Veeam is able to backup Active Directory or SQL Server workloads.įor this topic, I’ll backup the workloads on a Synology NAS (RS815). That means that an agent must be installed in each hypervisor but no agent is installed inside the VM. Veeam works at the host level to backup VM.
In this topic, I’ll focus on Hyper-V (and VMM). Veeam Backup & Replication is mainly a backup solution for virtual machines hosted on VMware or Hyper-V infrastructure. Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5 has been released last month and supports Windows Server 2016.
