Veeam ONE install location

[dsilman]

Hi all,

I was looking to find out if there was a best practice for what server to host Veeam ONE on?

Currently I think I will install it on the vCenter server (we only have 1). However if this may cause performance issues there are a number of other servers I could put it on instead.

Thanks,

-Damo.

Hi Damien,

You can use any server to host Veeam ONE, but be aware that installation of Veeam ONE components is not supported for the following servers:
- Domain Controllers
- Windows Server 2008 with enabled Hyper-V role
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with enabled Hyper-V role

As to deploying Veeam ONE on vCenter Server, then it is possible, but I wouldn't recommend to do it either.

See this topic for more info: Vcenter 4.1 Crash with Backup V5, Monitor, Reporter (pretty old thread, but still very useful).

Thanks!

Hi Vitality,

Your post has talked me out of putting it on the same server as vCenter, I'll put it on a different non-DC, non-Hyper V server.

Thanks

Hi Vitaliy,

Rommel here from the Philippines. I am in the process of VEEAM implementation in the largest construction company here. For the VEEAM ONE installation, can I install it on the VEEAM Proxy/Repository Server? Will there be any issues if I install it on any VEEAM Servers?

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Rommel,

Feel free to deploy Veeam ONE server on any Veeam B&R components (proxy/repository), but keep in mind that your backup/replication jobs might experience performance degradation because proxy VM will be used by both Veeam ONE and Veeam B&R.

Thanks!
