VBR HA Cluster
To start with, we will need a second VBR server, setup like the first, but dont add any of the other components, like the repository or managed servers, on a different FQDN and IP
On our first VBR server, log in with the veeamadmin account on the management interface on
https://fqdn:10443
Click Backup Infrastructure then under High Availability, click Submit Request
We will need to repeat this for the other, secondary, blank VBR server
This must be approved by the security officer, if you didnt configure one, like me, its auto approved, it should show up like this
We then need to connect to this VBR server with the remote console we setup earlier
Enter the server FQDN and click Connect
Click Yes to trust the server, if you get the popup
Enter the veeamadmin credentials and click Sign In
We first need to remove the local backup repository, on the bottom left, click Backup Infrastructure, then Backup Repositories, select the Default Backup Repository and click Remove Repository
Click Yes
Wait while it is removed
Now Click Managed Servers/Linux, click the VBR server and click Create HA Cluster
Add the cluster DNS name, in FQDN format, and a VIP address, this should be registered in DNS, then click Next
Use the drop down to select the primary node, it should be the only one there, and enter the IP address for the second VBR node, then for credentials, click Add
Then enter the credentials for the veeamadmin user on the second blank VBR server and click ok
Then click Next
Click Continue on the certificate alert
Then click Finish
Then we wait for the configuration database for the HA cluster to be created
When thats done, click Close
To connect to the HA cluster, we can close the console and reconnect to the cluster FQDN instead, same with the UI on port 443
