Step 3. Import Veeam Management Packs

After you install the VE Service and web UI, you must import Veeam Management Packs (Veeam MPs) — a set of discovery, monitoring and reporting management packs, natively integrated with OpsMgr.

Veeam MPs include the following management packs:

• Veeam.Report.Library.mp, Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.BaseDiscovery.mpb, Veeam.Virt.Extensions.Reports.DataSet.mpb, Veeam.Visualisation.Library.mpb — common management packs on which other packs are dependent.
• Backup MP — a set of management packs that integrates Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, services and jobs into Microsoft System Center Operations Manager.
• Hyper-V MP — a set of management packs that integrates Microsoft Hyper-V virtual infrastructure and services into Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. For details on VMware MP, see Veeam MP for Microsoft Hyper-V User Guide.
• VMware MP — a set of management packs that integrates VMware virtual infrastructure performance, event and configuration data into tnto Microsoft System Center Operations Manager. For details on VMware MP, see MP for VMware User Guides.

  Note

  For detailed instructions on how to import a management pack, see this Microsoft article.

To import the Veeam management packs:

1. Open the OpsMgr console using the account with the local Administrator rights.
2. Go to the Administration pane.
3. In the Administration section, right-click the Management Packs node and select Import Management Packs.
4. In the Import Management Packs window, do the following:
   1. Click Add > Add from disk. OpsMgr will offer you to search the online catalog for dependencies. As Veeam MP already includes all necessary dependencies, click No.
   2. Browse to the SCOM MPs folder on the mounted installation image.
   3. Select the following management packs: Veeam.Report.Library.mp, Veeam.Virt.Extensions.VMware.BaseDiscovery.mpb, Veeam.Virt.Extensions.Reports.DataSet.mpb, Veeam.Visualisation.Library.mpb.
   4. Repeat steps 1-2, navigate to the Backup MP folder and select all the management packs from this folder.

   Note

   Version 13.1 includes a list of management packs for monitoring Veeam Backup & Replication infrastructure, services and jobs data in System Center Operations Manager. The Veeam.Virt.Extensions.RequiredBackupOverrides.xml file includes a set of overrides for monitoring of the Veeam Backup infrastructure and preventing false positives during data protection operations performed by Veeam Backup & Replication. It is highly recommended that you deploy both MP for Veeam Backup & Replication and Veeam MP for VMware together. However, when both MPs are present, there are interactions that require tuning. For more information, see the MP for Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.

   OpsMgr will show the following security warning regarding the Veeam Virtualization Extensions VMware Integration management pack:

   

   The Veeam Virtualization Extensions VMware Integration management pack contains rules with write actions that run on the OpsMgr Management Server. The actions include PowerShell scripts used for creating associations between objects and maintenance mode synchronization. Click OK to acknowledge the warning.

5. Click Import. Operations Manager imports the management packs in the correct order. Check the Import Management Packs dialog for errors.

After you import Veeam management packs, Veeam MP for Veeam Backup & Replication will check registry values for the OpsMgr Health Service. If the values do not match the recommended configuration, the Veeam Collector: Health Service recommended configuration monitor will fire an alert that triggers the Configure Health Service task. The task automatically adjusts registry configuration settings for the Health Service on Collectors to maximize efficiency when processing large data volumes.

When imported, Veeam management packs appear in the list of all available management packs in the right pane. For detailed instructions on how to import a management pack, see this Microsoft article.
