I’m trying to create a backup for Microsoft failover cluster. In protection group process i add cluster object from active directory and received the following error when testing credential which has to be connected to nodes of the cluster.
Error message:
Failed Unable to install backup agent: failed to connect to NSI-SQL-WIN-CL: Failed to connect to failover cluster or Failed to connect to NSI-APP-WIN-CL Details: Failed to resolve host name or IP address

This message to me points to either DNS or is there a VIP that you point to for the cluster and not directly to one of the cluster nodes? Never had to back one of these up so just a guess.

+20Agree with Chris here re: DNS, based off your error. Start with the basics from the VBR server - ping the VIP of the Cluster & all Hosts in the Cluster to see if they're resolvable then go from there.
+20I just add dns server of cluster nodes cluster as dns server of my veeam backup server and i’m able to create my protection group and scan it successfully.
+20Great. Glad to hear you're working now.
