temporarily add a nutanix cluster for restore purposes

[theresawhitney]

I am hoping I can get a quick answer here instead of having to open a support ticket for what seems to be a fairly simple question.

I have 2 VBR Servers that provide backup and recovery services for 2 separate datacenters.
Each VBR backups up a Nutanix cluster hosted at that datacenter.
VBR #1 and Nutanix Cluster #1 are in Datacenter A.
VBR #2 and Nutanix Cluster #2 are in Datacenter B.

I have a 2 node cluster (on UCS blades) that I backup using the Veeam Agent for Windows (SQL dbs in the cluster).
Node #1 is hosted in Datacenter A.
Node #2 is hosted in Datacenter B.
I use VBR #1 to backup both nodes in a single backup job.

We are moving these physical nodes to VMs and we are using Instant Recovery to restore their latest backups to Nutanix AHV VMs.
Node #1 will be restored to a VM in Nutanix Cluster #1.
Node #2 will be restored to a VM in Nutanix Cluster #2.

Since each VBR only sees the Nutanix cluster hosted in the same datacenter I am trying to figure out how to get Node #2 restored to Nutanix Cluster #2 when I do not currently see that cluster from VBR#1.

Can I temporarily add Nutanix Cluster #2 to the inventory on VBR #1? I would assume that would allow me to select the #2 cluster when I am configuring the Instant Recovery settings.

Can I also then delete that cluster from VBR#1 inventory when I am done? I don't need both VBRs to see both Nutanix clusters all the time.

If you have a connection between VBR 1 and cluster 2, you can do it. There is nothing preventing adding 1 cluster to multiple VBRs.

If you want to remove cluster after instant recovery, please double-check first the migration is finished (otherwise VM will not be working since part of its data is missing on the cluster)

That worked perfectly ... did not add the proxy ... only added the cluster as a Managed Server ... and that did the trick. Thanks so much for the guidance.
