Proxmox VE workers

[anpa]

Hi,

Just testing out the Proxmox VE integration in 12.2, and I'm a newbie on Proxmox VE, so please bare with me.
I'm about to set up workers, and somehow only network interfaces of the "Linux Bridge" type shows up in the drop down list - my interfaces of the type "OVS Bridge" is not showing up in the drop down menu.

I checked the documentation on prerequisites and limitations, but there is no mention of different bridge types. It also is not possible to enter a VLAN in the dialogue box as well, as it is when creating regular VMs.

Has anyone else encountered these limitations, or am I just doing stuff wrong?

I had some similar issues when testing the beta a few weeks ago. Maybe things have changed between that build and GA, but I found that only Linux bridges and SDN vNets would show in Veeam. For Linux bridges the guidance I received was to select the bridge and during deployment go into Proxmox and manually set a vlan tag.

I'm coming from vSphere over to a fresh 8.2 cluster, so I ended up just creating SDN vNets as they function pretty closely to the dvPortGroups I'm used to.

Hello Andreas,

There is no support for Open vSwitch in V1. But we are assessing it for future releases.

Thank you for feedback.

Hi Rovshan,

Thanks for the information about OVS, this was my guess as well. Is this documented anywhere? If not, could you please update the information about this.
Is this also the case for VLAN support on the network interfaces?

In my LAB I use a VLAN tag on the bridge I use for the worker, this is also not possible to enter from the Veeam wizard.
While the worker was in 'Waiting for IP/connection' (can't remember exact message) I manually changed the VLAN tag on worker VM and rebooted it so it would get the correct IP from DHCP.
Afterwards Veeam happily continued. I assume you can do the same, just create a dummy bridge, select it while creating the worker and switch it over manually to the correct bridge.

Hi all,
We are considering moving to something like ProxMox.
Are we able to back-up the Virtual machines independent to the network, like we are with VMware?
We host many customers on completely independent Vlans, so there is no network connectivity with any of our management environment whatsoever.

Hi,

v1 does not require any connection to VMs (except for the Worker VM).

You only need connections between VBR, worker(s), and PVE:

VBR ----> PVE
VBR ----> Worker
Worker ----> PVE

That's it.

Thanks!

Hi,

We have an environment where we use different subnets/VLAN for different component roles in Veeam.

When we deploy a Proxmox Worker, we can set the IP, DNS and Network (vmbr0) - but not a VLAN tag. (https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbpro ... html?ver=1)
Because of that, we get an error when it tries to reach the Worker and confirm/test that it was successfully deployed.

Right now our workaround is to deploy the worker and as it's deploying and before the timeout is reach, we need to manually set the VLAN on the Worker VM.

It would be really nice to have the possibility to set the VLAN in the Wizard, when deploying a Proxmox Worker.

Thanks
