Before You Begin

Before you create a virtual lab, check the following prerequisites:

A valid license for Enterprise Edition of Veeam Backup & Replication must be installed on the backup server.
The ESXi host on which you plan to deploy a virtual lab must have a VMkernel interface. Otherwise the vPower NFS datastore will not be mounted on the ESXi host. For more information, see Veeam vPower NFS Service.
If you plan to use the advanced multi-host networking mode for VM replicas verification, you must configure a DVS beforehand. For more information, see Advanced Multi-Host Virtual Labs.
