Prepping VBR/VEM
Much like Veeam ONE, 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
Initial Configuration
We can now access the VRO WebUI from
https://fqdn:9898
And login with the Windows administrator account
Fill in the server details on the initial configuration wizard, you can add what you like here, then click Next
We then need to add administrators for VRO, click Add
We can add users or groups from the local server, I am going to add the local administrators group, and click Add
Then click Apply
We then need to add our VBR instance, on the Connect Veeam Backup And Replication Servers, click Deploy
Click Deploy Agent/Linux
If you have VEM, select that, if not use VBR, if you have HA without VEM, ensure you add the cluster FQDN in
Then by Credentials, click Add
Enter the username/password for the account you are trying to add, in my case, its the VEM server, and click Add
Select the credential below and click Apply
Click Apply again
For any certificate pop ups, click Remember And Continue
Then click Apply
Click Next here
And click Finish
You may see VBR with the install failed error when adding VEM
To fix this, click the VBR instance and click Repair Agent
You may need to specify additional credentials if they are different to VEM
And accept the certificate, this is what caused the failed install error
When its done it should look like this, and for HA clusters, you’ll see both nodes
