Hey guys,
I’m installing a VM on our Synology NAS to act as a Veeam Hardened Repo. I already had it before but now doing it trough Infrastructure Appliance.
When I start the installation I get’s stuck in this process:
Any recommendations for it?

Veeam Infrastructure Appliance - Hardened Repository Stuck
+1Best answer by NemanjaJanicic
Hello everybody,
I found what was the issue:
`Video Card` was set to `vmvga`, and that was the reason why it got stuck before loading GUI for installation fruther. When I changed that to `vga` the issue is not there anymore.
Thank’s for getting me some usefull informations.
+21Try rebooting and see if that kicks it to go. If not, then not sure what to suggest other than opening a support case. I know it worked previously on the NAS, but that is not a typical setup usually, but hopefully, you get it working.
+8Could it be the bios mode? It has to be on uefi. I have a similar thing when installing the cream appliance on Hyper-V it wouldn't start without changing the bios boot-mode

It’s already in UEFI, did check that at the beginning.
Are there any articles about installing it manually on a Ubuntu Server?
+21I cannot seem to find the article that shows this but it is on the Veeam site somwhere. This is from CoPilot.
In Veeam Backup & Replication v13, a Hardened Repository on Linux can be configured with immutability to protect backups from deletion or modification, even by administrators, for a defined retention period. This is a critical defense against ransomware and accidental deletions.
Preparation
Deploy a supported Linux server (Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, etc.).
Create a dedicated non-root account for Veeam Data Mover.
Prepare storage (XFS with reflink=1 and crc=1 is recommended for fast clone support).
Example:
# Create immutable backup folder
mkdir /mnt/immutable_backup
chown -R veeamuser:veeamgroup /mnt/immutable_backup
chmod 700 /mnt/immutable_backup
# Optional: format XFS with fast clone support
mkfs.xfs -b size=4096 -m reflink=1,crc=1 /dev/sdb
+8I always used this article back in the time. 🙂
