#VEEAM BACKUP VCENTER SOFTWARE#
Before performing an upgrade, doublecheck the documentation ( Best practices for vSphere 5.5 upgrade) and take care of the HCLs (Hardware Compatibility List).Īnd last but not least do not forget to check if your backup software is ready for vSphere 5.5! However, please do not forget to take care about software compatibility despite all your joy. Backup VMware environment with Veeam 9.Everybody is talking about vSphere 5.5 and some people have already upgraded their environments.To finish, I remove the Default Backup Repository. Once the repository is added, Veeam asks you if you want to change the location of the Veeam configuration backup files. This means tools like Veeam or Commvault cannot be used. Figure 3 illustrates how Veeam interacts. I need to say first that in vSphere 7 you cannot do image backups of the VCSA. Once the repository is added, you can click on finish. Figure 2 Veeam on VMware vCenter Server High Level Components. If you check Import existing backups automatically, all Veeam backups that exist in the repository will be imported in Veeam. To finish, review the settings and click on Apply to add the backup repository.
Next, choose the mount server and choose if you want to active vPower NFS service. You can also limit the concurrent tasks and the read-write bandwidth. Next, specify the location of the backup. I select the backup server itself but you can also choose a remote server.
#VEEAM BACKUP VCENTER WINDOWS#
Because I will store the backup on a local volume, I select Microsoft Windows Server. Next, choose the type of backup repository. In the first screen, specify a name for the backup repository. Next, I come back to Veeam and I navigate to Backup infrastructure. I choose the ReFS file system and I map the volume to R. In the virtual machine, I initialize the disk and I create a new volume. Then I add a RDM diskto the backup VM and I select the LUN. First I create an LUN in the Synology NAS and I map this LUN to right iSCSI target. But we need a backup repository to store the backup. Now that vCenter is connected to Veeam, we can backup VM. Hyperconverged Appliance from StarWind HCA Datasheet Add a backup repository If you navigate in Virtual Machines, you can see all the VMs hosted in the cluster or ESXi host managed by vCenter. Once the vCenter is added, you can navigate in managed servers to show all ESXi managed by the vCenter. If all the settings are fine, just click on finish to connect the vCenter to Veeam.
Then select the credentials and click on next. To do so, click on Manage accounts and add. In the next window, specify the credentials of the user that you have added in vCenter previously. For this example, I specify the vCenter FQDN. Next, specify the vCenter or ESXi IP address or DNS Name. In Veeam, navigate to Backup Infrastructure and Managed Servers. Next, add this user to Administrators group. The VCSA FQDN is .įirst, you need an administrator user to connect to vCenter from Veeam. In my lab environment, I have deployed a vCenter Server Appliance 6.5 (VCSA). We will connect to vCenter to be able to backup virtual machines and we will add a backup repository. In this topic, we will prepare the environment.
