Free Open Source Hypervisors that VEEAM supports?

​@SCSIraidGURU - yep..Chris shared a good list there; though not official, it looks like Veeam will also be supporting XCP-NG “soon” as well (Xen-based h/v platform)...based on a Forums post. So keep an eye out for that as well.

Best.

​@SCSIraidGURU How many VMs are you running?

I have my own server at home.   HP DL 360e Gen 8.  6 VMs.  
Web Server: 4 virtual web sites
2 Minecraft Servers for our 7 and 10 year old children.
VCSA 6.7
Dropbox
Family Pictures

The server has VMware6 U3 Essential Kit.   I can’t upgrade to the newer VEEAM community until I replace the Hypervisor.   Broadcom doesn’t support Essential Kit anymore.   I can’t upgrade this server beyond 6 U3.   So I was looking for Open Source Hyper-visor.   
 

​@SCSIraidGURU Nutanix provides the Nutanix CE (ccommunity Edition), I think you can try it and also, you could consider using the veeam agent, loook at this pdf: https://www.veeam.com/veeam_agents_feature_comparison_ds.pdf

You have a few workloads, so the Veeam Agent could be an option.

Hi @SCSIraidGURU,

according to your workloads and since it’s a private environment, I think Proxmox PVE could be a good fit. As you don’t need a support contract or SLAs, and given your hardware, this should work well.

It’s also easy to deploy - plus you could leverage Veeam VBR with it.

Best, Markus

I have a second workstation, HP840 with 64GB RAM, dual 16 core Xeons for 32 vCPUs.   I put a pair of SSD drives in it for vStorage.   I might backup the only virtual machine on it.   Try loading Proxmox PVE

That sounds like a pretty decent systems for Proxmox.  Hopefully it goes well for you and you can upgrade to v12.

​@Dynamic You are right, your suggestion is much more viaseble. :-)

Does anyone use Proxmox PVE?  How does it run?  Can it be added as a Hypervisor to VEEAM?  

Hi ​@SCSIraidGURU I didn’t use it yet, it is in my plans.

CHeck the link https://helpcenter.veeam.com/category/vdp.html, you can use it.
 

There are a few on here that use it and hopefully they can comment but yes you can add Proxmox to Veeam in the latest 12.x and v13 releases.
