Issue with install CDP

What if you click Properties and click through the wizard - does the cluster show up then?  What version is the cluster - maybe unsupported?

Click properties where?

The cluster is running VMware 8.03

Hi ​@kciolek 

• Do you have  alredy check vCenter Hierarchy & Permissions?

Continuous Data Protection (CDP) - Veeam Backup & Replication Permissions for VMware vSphere

• Try Rescan the vCenter: Go to Backup Infrastructure > Managed Server ight-click your vCenter, and select Rescan

• Try to check Permissions: Ensure the account Veeam uses to connect to vCenter has the Host.Config.Storage and Host.Config.AdvancedConfig privileges at the cluster level

• Enable DRS on the vSphere cluster?

• Check Firewall/DNSOpen Port 33035; Verify Forward/Reverse DNS.

• VAIO enabled on all host? check  esxcli software vib list | grep vaio

Maybe you need collect the logs and open case in veeam support.

Where you have the screenshot of the Manage I/O Filter - that dialogue there is Properties.  That will bring up the edit wizard to click through.

A question for you ​@kciolek is your cluster managed by image or baseline?

it looks like image

tried that ...it scans the disks without issue

everything is good. For the last one and VAIO Enabled ..doesn’t Veeam have to install CDP first for that?

humm, I think you need to follow the following procedure.

Lifecycle Manager

• Image Depot
• Actions
• Add Components
• Check Compliance
• Remediate All

the hosts will

• Enter Maintenance Mode

• Install the VIB

• Reboot

• Exit Maintenance Mode

after reboot, check:

esxcli software vib list | grep -i veeam

Do NOT:

• Install manually with esxcli software vib install

• Use legacy baselines

• Mix image-managed cluster with manual VIB installs

That will break compliance and future remediation.

I don’t have a lab environment at the moment, but I hope to have it back next week. I wish I had it now so I could test this for you.

I wonder if you can have more than one instance of the I/O filters themselves?  More than one cluster I mean within the console.  Not sure about that but might seem that way and of course I could be completely wrong.  😂

It seems you can have it installed on more than one cluster.  So ignore that suggestion from me.

Glad to hear you figured it out.

Great! now you can enjoy the weekend with CDP replication :-)

I changed the best answer to this thread as it is the OPs reply above.  Not sure why another answer was marked unless by mistake.
