AHV proxy on a different cluster

[tedsteenvoorden]

We want to facilitate backup of a Nutanix DMZ cluster. To limit data communication to the DMZ, i like to know if it is possible to run a AHV proxy on a different cluster than the cluster on which the backup is performed?

I think it would be possible via the manual deploy procedure (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/van/u ... tml?ver=30) but I'm not so sure about whether it would be a supported configuration. I'll defer to QA on that topic...

It will not work even in manual deploy configuration, backup appliance should be located on the same cluster it protects

That was my idea to deploy it via the manual procedure and manually configure the connection to the dmz cluster.

@Kochkin: what is the reason this won't work?

[Kochkin]

You will need to add backup appliance to VBR, and that is only possible by selecting a machine on a cluster (you cannot just specify an IP of the appliance)

Ah yes, I see the problem. Thanks for the feedback Kochkin!
