SCVMM HA with V13

Post by nmdange »

After upgrading to v13, all our Hyper-V backups stopped working. I understand there was a change in the way SCVMM is used in v13. I found out I was unable to deploy the Veeam components to SCVMM because we are using an HA cluster. Trying to deploy the components on the existing SCVMM record didn't work because it's a cluster name, not a server and the admin$ share doesn't exist. I did open a case (08097273) but support didn't seem to understand my issue. I was able to get it working by adding each individual SCVMM cluster node as a general Windows server.

There doesn't appear to be anything in the documentation on how to add an SCVMM cluster to Veeam in v13, so is this the correct way to add an SCVMM cluster?

The only reference I found to an HA SCVMM install is this note about VSA:
[Microsoft Hyper-V only] Linux-based Veeam Software Appliance does not support the SCVMM High Availability feature.
What exactly is the reason for this limitation? Does this mean I can't migrate to VSA in the future?
