thanks Oleg

What a pity !

With other, is possible to automate the installation and the configuration of Veeam Linux Agent in the machine ?
Powershell console , veemconfig, protection group with preinstalled Agent ?

My goal is to automate the installation and the configuration and manage the agent by the veeam server .

What is the best solution?

Hi,

Yes, Powershell would be the best way to automate it. Have a look at Veeam Agent Management section of VBR Powershell reference. You are after cmdlets to manage protection groups and individual computers.

Let me know if you have any further questions on particular cmdlets or features.

Thanks,
Oleg

but It's possible to remove with powershell the last individual computers of a protection groups.
I have test add and remove but the last i can not remove-it

for remove it, i used:
Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $group -Container
the command require a "Container" it can not be empty

existing a solution ?

but i have not found the PowerShell command for that

In Powershell it works a bit differently. You need to get a protection group, its container and custom creds, filter out computers you want to remove, create a new array of custom creds without these computers, create a new container and pass it to the existing protection group. For example:

Code: Select all

$pg = Get-VBRProtectionGroup -Name 'ProtectionGroupName'
$container = $pg.Container
$customCreds = $container.CustomCredentials
$newCustomCreds = @()
foreach ($creds in $customCreds) {

    if ($creds.HostName -ne 'hostName') {
     $newCustomCreds += $creds
    }

}

$newContainer = New-VBRIndividualComputerContainer -CustomCredentials $newCustomCreds
Set-VBRProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $pg -Container $newContainer
Rescan-VBREntity -Entity $pg

And don't forget to rescan a protection group as the last step.

Best regards,
Oleg
