v6 ok to run on same server as veeam monitor 5?

Post by ssrjazz »

I -just- got veeam monitor v5 and veeam backup & replication v5 installed and running on a server. Just wanting to make sure I can upgrade backup & replication to v6 w/o stomping on anything veeam monitor may need.

This have not been tested, so I cannot guarantee 100% nothing bad happens. Generally, we do not recommend installing Backup and Monitor on the same server, because both are very resource consuming in regards to CPU and memory. Unless it is a monster server, I would not do that. Thanks.

I have them both installed to a single VM with 8 vCPU and 4GB of RAM. It was 'monster' enough for veeam support when I asked them on my initial v5 installs. ;)

Guess I'll be one of the first to try it. They use separate databases, so I can't see what -should- go wrong. Good thing it's a VM and I can snapshot it. LOL

Sounds good - I would recommend increasing RAM to at least 6-8 GB though.

*nod*.... I've been keeping an eye on RAM usage. So far it's been more than fine with 4GB. Will continue to monitor and give it some more if it needs it.

Upgrade went smoothly w/o any hitches. Running a small backup job to make sure everything is good. Doesn't seem to have affected Veeam Monitor at all.
