Quantum DXi V5000 integration with Veeam - Veeam Data Mover service is not enabled

Hi @GreenHenry - you need to enable the VDMS setting in the DXi V5000 here but it does require more RAM for the appliance though FYI.

Once you do this it will work with Veeam.  I have it running at home in my lab.  This is the setting for the Data Mover piece for Veeam.

My DXi V5000 unit I set up with - 4 vCPU and 24GB RAM by the way.

Wow, why so many RAM?

That option you need to turn on for Veeam requires 16GB or something like that.  😂

Nice to know! I definitely need more RAM for my homelab. 😅

Hi @Chris.Childerhose, thank you so much for an useful piece of advice!

However, I was googling quite a lot, I didnt realised I have to enable VDMS. Unfortunately, after enabling VDMS I am still strugling with an error - Installing Veeam Data Mover service Error: mkdir: cannot create directory '/opt/veeam/': Permission denied .

Indeed, I used the user, that I have created under VDMS settings. Moreover, I have added him to sudoers file. Althoug, for some reason ssh access is failing. On the other hand, I was trying to use other users as well, that were in sudoers file and ssh was possible, but still there is error regarding permissions

Were you facing the same issue when trying to use Quantum as Deduplication storage appliance withing Veeam?

Now, I see something even stranger. I have choosen right IP address of the appliance and I am sure VDMS is enabled, but Veeam thinks something different:

Be sure to also set up a share for NFS as well. It seems Veeam uses that when adding the appliance.

Hi @Chris.Childerhose, unfortunately, there is no option how to make my share being Veeam Data Mover enabled :-(

Have you joined Dxi V5000 to the workgroup or domain?

Nope, I have created NFS share because it is much easier in LAB environment

This should then connect to Veeam without issue. I can post back Friday with my configuration as I am at VeeamON this week.

@GreenHenry  do you have joined Dxi to workgroup.

In quantum's guide has it create a cifs share. 

Now, it seems, that Veeam transport services have been installed. Simply, I have changed rights on the folder /opt. There is only an issue with the certificate, but I think it is nothing relevant for adding deduplication appliance..  However, still I am facing the error message "Specified share is not Veeam Data Mover enabled"

Once you do this it will work with Veeam.  I have it running at home in my lab.  This is the setting for the Data Mover piece for Veeam.

Hi all

when I try to enable VDMS the issue is: “Failed to create VeeamGroup”

I’d like to know Where am I failing or what am I missing to configure?

Diego

This is not a support community so putting your appliance details is not necessary.  Did you read over the thread and the solution?

​@dfidalgo - we don’t need or require this information from you.  Like I said this is not a support forum but rather a community website.  Did you read the thread over and what the solution was?  Pelase do this first.

Hi Chris,  Actually, I don’t have root password in order to change /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Then you may need to contact Quantum Support to get this or see if they can assist.  That is the way to fix the issue based on this thread.

Hi, you need to remove the veeam user:    sudo userdel veeam.

and then try to go throught the VDMS configuration.
