Step 4. Configure Agent Proxy Settings

The OpsMgr agent running on machines that host Veeam Backup & Replication components must be granted the privilege to insert new objects into OpsMgr as the Veeam Backup & Replication topology is discovered. This is known as proxying. Note that proxying must also be applied if any of the Veeam Backup & Replication components is running on the OpsMgr Management server.

To grant this privilege, do the following:

Configuring Proxy Settings for an Agent

To enable proxying for an OpsMgr agent:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using an account with the local Administrator rights.
2. Go to the Administration section.
3. Select the Device Management > Agent Managed node.
4. In the right pane, for each agent server where a Veeam Backup & Replication component runs, double-click to open Agent Properties dialog.
5. Go to the Security tab and make sure the Allow this agent to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers check box is selected.

   

6. Click OK. Wait for several minutes for the setting change to propagate through the system.

Configuring Proxy Settings for a Management Server

Proxying must also be enabled for Management Servers if any Veeam Backup & Replication component is installed there. To enable proxying for a Management Server:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using an account with administrative rights.
2. Go to the Administration section.
3. Select the Device Management > Management Servers node.
4. In the right pane, double-click on the Management Server to open the Management Server Properties dialog.
5. Go to the Security tab and make sure the Allow this server to act as a proxy and discover managed objects on other computers check box is selected:

   

6. Click OK. Wait for several minutes for the setting change to propagate through the system.
