Prepping VBR/VEM
Before we can add anything we need to allow data collection in the host management page
For a VBR HA cluster, repeat this on both individual nodes, starting with the primary
Log into the host management portal on
https://fqdn:10443
And click Backup Infrastructure, then under Data Collection, click Submit Request
And the same on VEM
Manually Installing The Analytics Agent
There is a known limitation that prevents the automated install by Veeam ONE to Linux server managed by VEM, which we have, Veeams documentation can be found here
But the limitation is
[For Linux servers] Veeam Analytics service cannot be automatically installed on Veeam Backup & Replication servers managed by Enterprise Manager
You must install Veeam Analytics service on such servers in Veeam ONE Web Client or manually
So, we will be installing this manually on both VBR HA nodes and VEM first
Open the Veeam ONE WebUI on
https://fqdn:1239
Login with the local Administrator account
The format for the username should be servername\username
Eg
Click ok here
Optionally skip the Welcome walk through, if you are new you should have a look though this
The default screen will be blank, click the Settings Cog in the top right
Click Data Collection/Overview/Veeam Analytics Service/Download Package/Linux
Save the .bndl file
We will need to repeat this all the nodes, both VBR and the VEM server
Log into the admin portal on
https://fqdn:10443
My server is throwing an error connecting to updates but it seems intermittent so I am not 100% what is causing this, if yours is contact Veeam support
Click Updates and at the bottom click Upload A HotFix
Click Browse
Double click the bundle file
Then click Upload
Then click Install Now
For VBR, click Next here, this warning is to say this needs doing on both nodes in the HA cluster
When its done it will look like this, click Finish
