Veeam Immutable Repository Deployment
To get this head here and click Download on the Veeam Software Appliance 13 section, you will need a valid Veeam login for this
Scroll down to Additional Downloads and click the download Icon by the Veeam Infrastructure Appliance
We then need to boot our immutable repository, a physical server, into this ISO
The easiest option is to boot this via your system IPMI, Eg Dell iDRAC or HPE iLO
Alternatively you can create a bootable USB using Rufus, just ensure you write the ISO in DD Image Mode, else the installer will fail
When booted it will load this splash screen, select Veeam Hardened Repository and press Enter
Press Enter on Install
Click Yes here, and the installer will automatically begin
When that has installed you will be brought back to the installation screen
Veeam Immutable Repository Configuration
Press Tab to scroll down to I accept and press Enter to accept the EULA
Enter a name and press Enter on Accept
We can then see our network adapters, and there should be two, going into two separate redundancy Switches
Mine shows as connecting/disconnected, this is fine, if they are disconnected they will have the state, Unavailable
Note down the names, in my case its ens33 and ens35, we will need those, then press Enter on Advanced on the right
Press Enter on Add
Press Enter on Bond
Give the profile a name, I entered Bond1, then press Enter on Add
Press Enter on Ethernet
Leave the profile name as the default and for the adapter add the first adapter we noted down earlier, in my case its ens33, then press Enter on ok
Repeat for our other adapter, in my case ens35
It should now look like this
