Add Hyper-V Cluster

Step 1: Log in to your backup server machine and click on VMware/Hyper-V/Windows in the menu. 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 2: Click Add Hyper-V Clusters to add your Hyper-V Clusters to the production infrastructure of your BDRSuite Backup Server.

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

Step 4: Select the administrator credential of the entered Hyper-V Clusters from the list. If you have not added the credentials earlier, you can add new credentials by clicking on the Add Credential button. 

Step 5: Provide a Credential Name to identify the credential entry and then specify the username & password of the Hyper-V cluster in the Username, Password & Retype Password fields.

Step 6: Specify the maximum number of concurrent backups to be processed by a BDRSuite Integration Service. You can select up to 5 jobs to be processed by a BDRSuite Integration Service agent.

By default, the port ‘42005’ is used for the communication between the BDRSuite Backup Server and the Hyper-V cluster. 

Step 7: Click on the Save button to add the Hyper-V Clusters to the production infrastructure.
