How to Increase CDP Proxy Cache | Veeam Community Resource Hub

Not sure if I am missing something obvious but I have been poking around and I can’t find how to increase a CDP Proxy cache, without removing and re-adding. Thats seems a bit drastic and alot more work. Anyone been across this before ?

Thanks

You can increase the CDP Proxy cache size without removing it, using PowerShell.

But if it fails or doesn't apply correctly, you may need to remove and re-add the proxy.

Ah brilliant Matheus - thank you !

I will go and have a play and see where I get. But I guess this is confirmation that it can’t be done by right clicking in the gui. I wonder if that would be a valid feature request or if this is so rare Veeam would not waste good dev resource ?

@Airless -

Good find @matheusgiovanini !

Don’t use CDP personally, but my guess is like what you stated “airless”...probably so rare of a need that it’s not in the UI; but common enough to at least have a PoSH cmd for it.

You of course could go over on the Forums to discuss with the Veeam PMs having it as a feature request, or at least ask how often it’s needed….if they know. Heck, it may be something coming out in v13. Veeam does generally track many features/tasks customers use though. Doesn’t hurt to ask 😊

You're exactly right, as of now, there's no option in the Veeam GUI to change the CDP proxy cache size directly via right-click or settings menus. It has to be done via PowerShell.

And yes, this could be a valid feature request! Even if it's a niche use case, adding the option in the GUI would make it more accessible.

Thanks both - very interesting. Posted over on the Forums so I will see where that goes.

As always - appreciate the input.

No problem @Airless . Let us know what the PMs say if you think of it.

Hi all @Airless I've already done this before, and today I just ran a test. I increased and decreased the CDP size while it was in use, and everything worked fine, without delte, destroy or do anything else :-)
This test was performed on build 12.1.1.56.
I think it's worth opening a support ticket to find out why it didn't work on your installation.
