VEEAM and changing IP of HyperV host

[Bruce123]

Hi all,

 

We're using VEEAM BR 11.01 to backup the VM(s) on a standalone not domain-joined HyperV host.

 

Does anyone know if it's possible modify the IP of a standalone HyperV host without having to create a new backup job and start again (with it having to do a full backup - separate from the existing backups)?

 

The HyperV host was added to VEEAM (under managed servers) using it's IP and this isn't modifiable from the GUI.

 

There is some guidance on modifying the IP of a managed server using the VEEAM PowerShell, but this seems to only apply to VMWare (and when I tried using the same command for the HyperV host it refused).

 

Re-doing the backup isn't feasible due to the time and storage required (7B of data).

 

Any thoughts appreciated?

 

Kind Regards, Bruce.

If you change the IP on the VM, then in the backup job when you edit it and go to the VM part - that VM will slow as blank / size 0GB but if you then re-add the server by it's name you should be able to remove the old server and it will show the the new server with it's correct file size instead automatically (As they have the same name).

 

Now this works with domain-joined VMs as I've done it but not sure about non domain joined VMS which may possibly be referencing the IP address directly rather than the DNS name?

 

Can't guarantee it will work for you.
