Deployment

To deploy Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV, do the following:

  1. Deploy the backup server as described in the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide, section Installing Veeam Backup & Replication.

Alternatively, you can use a backup server that already exists in your backup infrastructure if it meets the Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV system requirements.

  1. Install oVirt KVM Plug-in on the backup server.
  2. Perform initial configuration of Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV:
  1. Configure backup repositories where Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV will store backups of oVirt VMs.
  2. Add to the backup infrastructure the Virtualization manager that administers oVirt resources you want to protect.
  3. Deploy a backup appliance that will process backup and restore operations.
  4. Deploy dedicated workers that will transfer backup traffic.
