Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV
You can install the Nutanix AHV Plug-in in the unattended mode. Note that if you want to manage AHV VM backup in the Veeam Backup & Replication console, you must install all the components: the Nutanix AHV Plug-in service (NutanixAHVPlugin.msi), the Nutanix AHV Plug-in appliance VM image files (NutanixAHVPluginProxy.msi) and the UI components of Nutanix AHV Plug-in (NutanixAHVPluginUI.msi).
To install Nutanix AHV Plug-in, use a command with the following syntax:

The command has the following parameters:
