Add Hyper-V Cluster

In the sub-menu navigate to Data Sources > Add Microsoft Hyper-V > Hyper-V Clusters, you will be taken to a page where you can see all the previously added Hyper-V Clusters. If no host is added, you can see a message “No host added for backup”.

Step 3: Select the server type as Hyper-V Clusters and specify the Cluster Name/IP address of your Hyper-V Clusters.
