System Requirements
Before you start deploying Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV, make sure the virtual environment and the backup infrastructure components meet the following requirements.
Specification | Requirement |
|---|---|
Hypervisor | Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) must be installed on x86 hardware that supports virtualization capabilities. |
Virtualization Platform | Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV supports the following virtual environments:
|
Veeam Software | Veeam Backup & Replication version 12.1 with oVirt KVM Plug-in version 12.4.1.45 (or later) must be deployed on the backup server. |
The backup appliance performs management operations and handles backup and restore tasks (if the embedded worker is enabled). If you deploy Veeam Backup for OLVM and RHV using the default configuration, the following compute resources will be allocated to the backup appliance:
With the default configuration, the backup appliance can perform management operations in a cluster with less than 1000 VMs and process less than 100 jobs, and handle up to 4 concurrent backup and restore tasks. While deploying a new backup appliance or editing settings of an existing one, you can adjust compute resources allocated to it according to the recommendations described in section Sizing Guidelines. | |
Workers | VMs running as dedicated workers must be allocated the following compute resources for each concurrent task:
