Hyper V Setup

Post by Andy_Morgan »

Hi All

Just going through the Veeam Install, I have a Hper-V setup with 4 Physical Server in a cluster hosting around 15 VM's, the 4 Physical serves are on there own domain seperate to the production client domain, When attempting to add the cluster using the IP address its unable to resolve the other 3 Hosts are it reverts to using the FQDN.

Do i need to add each server physical server individually, or do i just to the VM's or is there away the Veeam to resolve the Physical servers by IP and not FQDN??

any help would be great :D

Hi Andrew and welcome to the community!
Veeam B&R can resolve IP addresses as well as FQDN. Check if you`ve chosen type of server correctly (Cluster, not Standalone host). Also check if you have enough licensed sockets for all the hosts in the cluster.
Thanks!

Also make sure that your VBR can correctly resolve shortname of your hosts. It is a requirement to work with them via WMI.

No, you should be able to add the cluster.
Have you tried to contact Veeam support?

You can also try to edit your host file at veeam back server to add there you ip address of you cluster, hyper-v hosts with there coresponding host name. But be sure I thing its important that your dns infrastructure should work well not especially for veeam but for you whole infrastructure.
