Adding AHV Backup Proxy
To be able to back up VMs residing on a Nutanix AHV Cluster, you must add an AHV Backup Proxy to the AHV cluster. AHV Backup Proxy is a virtual module that acts as a coordinator between the AHV cluster on one side and the Veeam Backup & Replication server on the other side. For details, see How It Works.
Note |
After the AHV Backup Proxy is successfully deployed, AHV Backup Proxy creates a PD snapshot job and takes a PD snapshot of the AHV Backup Proxy VM. You can use the PD snapshot to restore the VM in case of any problems. For details, see Protecting AHV Backup Proxy VM. |
After you add a Nutanix AHV cluster, you can add an AHV Backup Proxy to the added cluster. To add a new AHV Backup Proxy or register the existing AHV Backup Proxy, take the following steps.
- Launch New Nutanix Proxy Wizard
- Select Deployment Mode
- Specify VM Configuration
- Specify Network Settings
- Specify Credentials
- Grant Permissions
- Finish Working with Wizard
Important |
If the DNS server on the Veeam Backup & Replication server is not configured properly and the deployment finishes with the warning that the proxy hostname is not resolved, see Troubleshooting AHV Backup Proxy Deployment. |
