Find-VBRViEntity not returning any vm

Post by esir »

I am new to Veeam backup and I have a small issue. Get-VBRServer -Name "maryland" returns a host. Running Find-VBRViEntity on this, however, no vm is returned. Any ideas why??

Can you provide the exact script, so we can double check the code? By the way, are those hosts for which you're trying to get VMs are added to backup console? Thanks!

Thanks for the response.
Find-VBRViEntity is the script that I have but it returns nothing. I am not sure about the backup console part.

You need to get ESXi host or vCenter server VMs (you want to query) reside on. Then, pass it Find-VBRViEntity cmdlet.

Code: Select all

Asnp VeeamPSSnapin
$Server = Get-VBRServer -name "Name of your host/vCenter"
Find-VBRViEntity -Server $Server
Host or vCenter server needs to be added to the backup server first.

Thanks!
