System Requirements

Before you start using Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV, make sure the Nutanix AHV cluster or Prism Central and the backup infrastructure components meet the following requirements.

Specification	Requirement
Virtualization Platform	Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV is compatible with Nutanix AOS versions 6.8.1.6 – 7.3 and Prism Central version pc.2022.6 (or later). An IP address of the cluster and the iSCSI Data Service must be configured in Nutanix AHV cluster settings. For more information, see Nutanix documentation. UEFI boot must be supported in the Nutanix AHV environment. For more information, see Nutanix documentation. Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV supports Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) used for hybrid multi-cloud deployment.

Workers	Workers process backup workload and distribute backup traffic when transferring data to and from backup repositories. If you deploy a worker using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated to the worker VM: CPU: 6 vCPU Memory: 6 GB RAM Disk Space: 100 GB for product installation and logs With the default configuration, the worker can handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks in parallel. While deploying a new worker or editing settings of an existing one, you can change the maximum number of concurrent tasks. To do that, adjust compute resources allocated to the worker VM according to the recommendations described in section Sizing Guidelines.

Virtualization Platform

Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV is compatible with Nutanix AOS versions 6.8.1.6 – 7.3 and Prism Central version pc.2022.6 (or later).
An IP address of the cluster and the iSCSI Data Service must be configured in Nutanix AHV cluster settings. For more information, see Nutanix documentation.
UEFI boot must be supported in the Nutanix AHV environment. For more information, see Nutanix documentation.
Veeam Plug-in for Nutanix AHV supports Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) used for hybrid multi-cloud deployment.

Veeam Software

Veeam Backup & Replication version 13.0.0.4967 (or later) with Nutanix AHV Plug-in version 13.8.0.582 (or later) must be deployed on the backup server.

Workers

Workers process backup workload and distribute backup traffic when transferring data to and from backup repositories. If you deploy a worker using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated to the worker VM:

CPU: 6 vCPU
Memory: 6 GB RAM

Disk Space: 100 GB for product installation and logs

With the default configuration, the worker can handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks in parallel. While deploying a new worker or editing settings of an existing one, you can change the maximum number of concurrent tasks. To do that, adjust compute resources allocated to the worker VM according to the recommendations described in section Sizing Guidelines.

Important

Workers are deployed as backup infrastructure components preconfigured for optimal performance. That is why you must not install any software on VMs running as workers or make any configuration changes to them unless you are requested by Veeam Customer Support.
