Installing Veeam MP for VMware

You can install Veeam MP for VMware components using various installation scenarios. Three of the back-end components (VE Service, Veeam UI and Collector) can be installed on separate servers, or you can install all three components on one Management Server, and deploy additional Collector-only servers if required.

This section describes installation steps required for the most common scenarios:

• Auto-deployment installation scenario is suitable for large environments with several Management Servers. It allows you to install Veeam MP for VMware back-end components on one Management Server and automatically distribute Collectors to other Management Servers.

For details, see Veeam MP for VMware Auto-Deployment.

• Single-server installation scenario is the most suitable scenario for evaluation and proof of concept for Veeam MP for VMware. It allows you to install all Veeam MP for VMware back-end components on a single Management Server. This scenario offers a simplified installation procedure using the unified installer, and is suitable for environments of up to approximately 100 vSphere hosts.

For details, see Single-Server Installation.

• Collector-only installation scenario implies that the VE Service and Veeam UI have been already installed on another server. This scenario allows you to install the Veeam VMware Collector service only.
