Adding Nutanix AHV Server

To add a Nutanix AHV cluster or Prism Central to the backup infrastructure, do the following:

  1. Launch the New Nutanix AHV Server wizard.
  2. Specify the Nutanix AHV server domain name or IP address.
  3. Enter credentials to access the Nutanix AHV cluster.
  4. Configure helper appliance settings.
  5. Choose a backup appliance.
  6. Apply Nutanix AHV server settings.
  7. Finish working with the wizard.

Considerations and Limitations

After you add a Prism Central to the backup infrastructure, consider the following:

  • If you register a new cluster with the Prism Central, Veeam Backup for Nutanix AHV will automatically add it to the backup infrastructure and you will be able to protect resources in this cluster. For more information, see sections Performing Backup and Performing Restore.
  • If you unregister an existing cluster from the Prism Central, you will not be able to protect resources in this cluster anymore. To protect these resources, you can add the cluster to the backup infrastructure as a standalone cluster. For more information, see Solution Architecture.

Important

If you unregister the cluster where the backup appliance resides from the Prism Central, you will not be able to protect resources in all clusters managed by the Prism Central. If you still want to unregister this cluster, you must first back up the appliance configuration, then remove the appliance from the backup infrastructure, deploy a new appliance in another cluster registered with the Prism Central — and restore the backed-up configuration to the new appliance.
