Amend Host file on AHV Proxy

[FLS_Nick]

If you use Veeam B&R off the domain with no DNS servers then the Veeam Help Guide for AHV Version 2 is to amend the host file on your Veeam B&R Server so it will resolve the AHV Proxy...this is not an issue.

But the guide says the AHV Proxy on Nutanix also needs to resolve the Veeam B&R Server and to do that without a DNS Server you need to amend its host file on /etc/hosts on the Linux AHV Proxy Appliance.

My confusion is though that in a new deployment when you deploy a new AHV Proxy from the Wizard in the B&R Console it deletes the AHV Proxy appliance as it fails to resolve the Veeam B&R Server.

How am I supposed to follow the guide to amend the host file under etc/hosts on the AHV Proxy appliance if the Wizard to deploy it deletes it after a failed deployment where the failure is DNS resolution?

The guide is here: https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/van/u ... tml?ver=20

Hi Nick,
1. Under "C:\Program Files\Veeam\Plugins\Nutanix AHV\Service\appsettings.json" change "RemoveVmOnFailedDeploy" to false. That will keep Proxy VM.
2. Logon to Proxy VM locally and check DNS resolution for VBR (/etc/hosts)
3. Run New Nutanix Proxy wizard again in VBR and register existing proxy.
/Cheers!

Configure primary dns suffix for your Veeam vbr server.
Had todo the same. Without this configuration, proxy deployment doesn‘t work because of no existing fqdn.
