Veeam 6 - how to disable default proxy
Gostev,
I am unable to disable the default proxy as you suggested in your "Before you upgrade" post through the obvious methods. I am curious on how to do this.
When I right click on it, the option is greyed out. I can set the number of concurrent jobs to 1, but not zero.

How many proxies do you have altogether? You cannot disable the last remaining proxy.

Re: Veeam 6 - disable default proxy
Currently 2 proxies and 1 backup server. We will be scaling it out to around 25 proxies though.
I just want to disable backups on the 1 backup (make it a managment only) server.

Re: Veeam 6 - disable default proxy
Hmm, I cannot disable it too. This was something another customer had posted he did, I assumed this works and thought this is a good idea. But looks like this does not work, so I will remove this tip until this capability is added.

Re: Veeam 6 - disable default proxy
While you cannot directly disable it, you can effectively disable it by forcing the transport mode to a mode that cannot access any datastores. My current suggested method is to configure the Transport mode to Direct SAN access, being sure to disable failover to network mode. Then, just to be 100% sure, set the Connected datastores to Manual and then don't actually pick any datastores at all.
It's just a workaround, but quite effective.

Preventing the Backup master to run jobs itself
[merged]
I have 1 Backupserver and 3 proxies. I cannot remove the Backupserver itself from the Proxy or repository lists. It has no large storage and i don't want it to do the dirty work
(in should just be the controlling entity)
How can i prevent it from trying to assign jobs to itself, outside from manually not selecting it each time during job-creation? (like a global setting so to speak)

Tried it. Works fine.
Thank you for the tip.

Re: Veeam 6 - how to disable default proxy
Strange why you can't do it in the GUI, works fine in PS
Code: Select all
#Disable the default proxy
$proxy = Get-VBRViProxy -Name "VMware Backup Proxy"
Disable-VBRViProxy -Proxy $proxy
#Switch it back on
#Enable-VBRViProxy -Proxy $proxy

Weird, the -Confirm $false is not working on mine. It is complaining about positional parameters. But very nice

Tbh I didn't use the confirm when I ran it but thought I could use it and didn't have a repo that I could delete anymore to test could try -Confirm:$false and see if that works

Ah right makes sense, if not, it treats the $false as a positional parameter.

Re: Veeam 6 - how to disable default proxy
Please note that removing default repository via PowerShell or SQL script, albeit is possible technically, may cause some parts of UI to go mad. This capability is disabled in the UI on purpose.
On the other hand, disabling default proxy via the script is safe to do. You only cannot disable it via shortcut menu in the user interface because it is a UI bug.
