Davy,
I am attempting to use Veeam to backup Hyper-V VMs that live on Nutanix SMB shares. Traditionally Veeam would have a Windows SMB3 server snap the server. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how this can be accomplished.
Thank you and I appreciate the guidance in your posts
Hi Peter,
I recently configured Veeam v7 patch 4 to backup my hyper-v nutanix cluster. Do note that you must be running at least NOS 3.5.4 and you joined your nutanix storage to the domain before attempting to configure any backup jobs. One your nutanix nodes are added into the Veeam server it’s pretty straight forward.
If there is anything else, please let me know.
Thank you for your reply. I am also running 3.5.4 and Veeam v7 patch4 with storage added to the domain. Unfortunately when Veeam Queries WMI on the host for the responsible VSS provider it returns ID (00000000-0000-0000-0000-0000000000000).
I will review your posts and work with Nutanix to maybe determine where we went wrong with the setup. Thanks again for your help. At least i know i am on the right track.
