Hello,

This is a good way to kick the tires with Veeam Backup for Nutanix v4 and AHV. The prior version of CE was below AOS 6.x. You could not demo Instant VM Recovery because this feature was available with VBN AHV v3.x and required AOS AHV 6.x. It can be installed on an ESXi server. Please follow the links below. It does require that you register with a Nutanix account😀. 

Caution: It is not recommended to register CE clusters with Prism Central, which is being used for commercial licensed clusters.

Caution: No upgrade path to CE 2.0 will be provided from the older CE or Prism Central for CE.

Thanks Chris!

It takes a while to install so take you can take a nice break in between. Once it is up it is easy to navigate😀.

Yeah, I might wait until I get a new “demo” from Synology that is going to be fully loaded and fast before I do this deployment.  DS923+ they are sending me for testing, blogging, etc.  😁

Yeah, this array I am getting will have max RAM (32GB), NVME for Cache, HDDs/SSDs and will also have PCIe slots which I am going to install some Optane drives into that I got as part of vExpert program.  So will be a great little unit.  Then the DS920+ with DX517 expansion is going to become my backup repository and storage unit.  😋

Perfect timing! I’ve had some empty VMs sitting for a few weeks now in preparation of configuring nested Nutanix CE in my lab. Only reason I hadn’t gotten around to it was because of v12 releases keeping me busy. Guess I can just install 2.0 immediately!

Hi,

 

Can any of you confirm that Nutanix CE still works with Veeam B&R?

 

I want to add Nutanix backup support to AsBuiltReport.Veeam.VBR.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As far as I know it still works fine.  I am downloading the new version now for testing.
