ONEbelievable tricks: Veeam ONE and Automation Services

[Vitaliy S.]

Good! We are planning to add more automation to these "automation tips and tricks", so It would be good to know what scripts you use and what would like to see as a pre-defined post alarm actions in Veeam ONE.

the link to "these script examples" leads to a Dropbox "file not found" page. Is there an updated location for the script examples?

thank you.

[Vitaliy S.]

Yes, Dropbox link is no longer available, since we have a dedicated KB for that: https://www.veeam.com/kb2270

Thanks finally I was able to fix the errors by adding the Veeam cmd applet and installing PowerCLi from VMware.
But I still have the following error for the script:

Can not validate the argument on the "Job" parameter. The argument is null. Specify a valid value for the argument and try again.
     + CategoryInfo: InvalidData: (:) [Stop-VBRJob], ParameterBindingValidationException
     + FullyQualifiedErrorId: ParameterArgumentValidationError, Veeam.Backup.PowerShell.Cmdlets.StopVBRJob
     + PSComputerName: localhost

I too had the same problem "Can not validate the argument on the parameter" Job "

Did you pass the job name? How does your modified script look like?

Hello

Sorry I can't seem to follow the instructions.

Powershell scripts are mentioned. Do these need to be created or are the scripts available to download or copy?

Regards

All script samples are available in the KB at the bottom of the list when you click Download. Thanks!

A new trick has been added for Microsoft Teams. Please review it on the first page of this thread. Thanks!

Hi Team,

is there a blogpost or a tutorial on how to use the automatic fail over? Is there even a youtube tutorial and can I get support for that PowerShell script we are a Veeam ProPartner.

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

There is no tutorial on this specific trick. You may follow the instructions mentioned on the first page of this thread as well as download the scripts directly from the KB article. The scripts are not officially supported and may require manual modifications, but if you face an issue you may ask for advice on the forums.

Thanks

And if you need more automation and options during the failover operation, then maybe Veeam Availability Orchestrator can help too.
