I was trying to configure a VBR location profile for my OpenShift cluster, but it says ‘Repository not found’.
When I run
curl -v -k -u Administrator:<password> https://<vbr-ip>:9419/api/v1/repositories, it doesn’t return any value.

Hi geto, 

More details will be needed to answer.

You mention OpenShift, are you using Kasten to do the backups or you created some storage repository on OpenShift and are trying to add it to Veeam Backup and Replication?

The API endpoint you reference will list any added repositories in Veeam Backup and Replication, and if the response is empty means that nothing has been added yet.

Perhaps you can detail (with screenshots) what you’re trying to do and what you configured, we’ll be better able to comment.

I am trying to add a Veeam Backup & Replication (VBR) location profile for my OpenShift backup.

I already have an existing VBR repository that is currently being used to store other backups.

When I attempt to configure the same repository as the target for my OpenShift backups, I receive the following error: “Repository not found”

Attached the error screenshot for reference.

Make sure 9419 is reachable from the cluster.

yes, but can you confirm this is about Kasten?

 

https://docs.kasten.io/latest/usage/configuration#vbr-location-profile

 

So you’re trying to configure a VBR repository for Kasten backup?

I’m trying to configure a VBR Location Profile in K10 so it can use an existing Veeam Backup & Replication repository.

Port 9419 is already reachable, and the connection from the cluster to the VBR server works.

The API does not return any repository information, which is why K10 shows “Repository not found.”

The VBR server is working normally for other backup jobs, but the VBR REST API is not listing any repositories for Kasten to consume.

Check the note regarding repository permissions in the link I provided earlier:

 

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/kasten_integration/req_permissions.html?ver=120

Please ensure that’s set.

Also, regarding the API, please confirm the type of repository and how it’s added to VBR (Windows / Linux local, Object Storage, etc)

Unfortunately cannot tell much with the curl screenshot there -- does the repository show if you test from the Swagger UI?

I’m using a Linux hardened repository. Ill verify the configuration once again.

Thanks for the response.
