This cookbook installs and configures Veeam Backup and Replication based on documented Veeam best practices. The cookbook includes recipes to deploy all components of the solution as well as the optional Explorers.

Note: Veeam prerequisites requires that Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 be installed on the host. As part of the installation, a reboot is required and will automatically be handled by the resource

The installation of SQL Express requires that a temporary Scheduled Task be created within Windows to perform the installation. The reason for this workaround is due to a known limitation with Microsoft SQL installations via remote powershell executions. This enhancement has been added to allow for the ability to perform the installation via Terraform, Knife Bootstrap, or any other remote powershell based execution process.

• Chef 16.2+

The attribute node['veeam']['version'] is used to evaluate the ISO download path and checksum for the installation media. When provided, the version selected will be downloaded based on the value found in libraries/helper.rb. This media path can be overridden by providing the appropriate installation media attributes - node['veeam']['installer']['package_url'] and node['veeam']['installer']['package_checksum']. By default, these attributes are nil and the system will download the ISO every time.

The attribute node['veeam']['build'] is used to evaluate the Zip download path and checksum for the installation media. When provided, the build selected will be downloaded based on the value found in libraries/helper.rb. This media path can be overridden by providing the appropriate installation media attributes - node['veeam']['installer']['update_url'] and node['veeam']['installer']['update_checksum']. By default, these attributes are matching their corresponding node['veeam']['installer']['package_url'] and node['veeam']['installer']['package_checksum'] values and the system will download the Zip every time.

Note: As of 9.5 Update 4, ISO based upgrades must be done using the package_url method and not using the update_url process to ensure that prerequisites are installed completely.

The server must be licensed to unlock the full potential of the application. The attribute node['veeam']['server']['evaluation'] should be configured as false. To license, choose one of the below options.

1. Save the license file on a web server to which the Veeam Backup and Replication server can access. Set the node['veeam']['license_url'] attribute to include the full path to the license file.
2. Encode the license file as a Base64 string and create a new DataBag veeam with an Item license. Add the key license with the value as the Base64 encoded string.

{
  "id": "license",
  "license": "base64_encoded_license"
}

The process to perform upgrades requires that the appropriate installation media is provided which contains the updates from Veeam. This cookbook will initiate an upgrade if the currently installed versions are less than the desired Build version as defined by the attribute node['veeam']['build']. When the installed version does not match the requested build version, the process will mount the ISO or extract the ZIP that contains the update and then perform an automatic upgrade of each service installed on the host.

As of Update 4, the upgrade process has changed. The update to version 9.5.4+ will be automatically applied if the installer media leverages Update4. Due to the nature of the process, a reboot is required. The Automatic Reboot will occur at the end of the convergance unless the attribute nde['veeam']['reboot_on_upgrade'] equals false

Note: As of 9.5 Update 4, ISO based upgrades must be done using the package_url method and not using the update_url process to ensure that prerequisites are installed completely.

Updates are identified by passing one of the following to the attributes for the server:

1. node['veeam']['installer']['update_url'] attribute should contain either the full installation ISO or the update ZIP link. The file name must include the full build name like such:
   • VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1536.Update3.iso
   • VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1536.Update3.zip
2. node['veeam']['installer']['package_url'] attribute should contain either the full installation ISO. The file name must include the full build name like such:
   • VeeamBackup&Replication_9.5.0.1536.Update3.iso
3. node['veeam']['build'] attribute must be a valid and cookbook supported build version like such:
   • 9.5 (defaults to GA)
   • 9.5.0.711 (GA)
   • 9.5.0.1038 (Update2)
   • 9.5.0.1536 (Update3)
   • 9.5.0.1922 (Update3a)
   • 9.5.4.2615 (Update4)
   • 9.5.4.2866 (Update4b)
   • 10.0 (defaults to GA)
   • 10.0.0.4461 (GA)

Warning When the upgrade is performed, the installation will upgrade all components included in the server to which the update is applied. If the upgrade requires a reboot, this process will be automatic and initiate a reboot of the server upon completion of the work.

NOTE: If the automatic upgrade should be skipped then set the following attribute on the server prior to running the upgrade:

• node['veeam']['reboot_on_upgrade'] = false

As of Update 4, the upgrade process has changed. The update to version 9.5.4+ will be automatically applied if the installer media leverages Update4. Due to the nature of the process, a reboot is required. The Automatic Reboot will occur at the end of the convergance unless the attribute nde['veeam']['reboot_on_upgrade'] equals false

Ongoing updates are automatically handled by the following included recipes:

• catalog
• console
• server_with_catalog
• server_with_console
• standalone_complete
• proxy_server
• host_mgmt
• upgrade

Testing with ChefSpec on Linux or Mac for specific Windows items such as register, Win32, etc can cause failures in the testing. Included in this library is a helper file designed to stub and mock out these calls.

The file is located at spec/windows_helper.rb

Setup your testing and ensure all dependencies are installed. Open a terminal windows and execute:

This cookbook requires the use of a data_bag for setting certain values. Local JSON version need to be stored in the directory structure as indicated below:

├── chef-repo/
│   ├── cookbooks
│   │   ├── veeam
│   │   │   ├── .kitchen.yml
│   ├── data_bags
│   │   ├── data_bag_name
│   │   │   ├── data_bag_item.json

Note: Storing local testing versions of the data_bags at the root of your repo is considered best practice. This ensures that you only need to maintain a single copy while protecting the cookbook from being accientally committed with the data_bag. However, if you must change this location, then update the following key in the .kitchen.yml file.

data_bags_path: "../../data_bags/"

This repo includes a Rakefile for common tasks

1. bundle install: Installs and pulls all ruby gems dependencies from the Gemfile.

2. berks install: Installs all cookbook dependencies based on the Berksfile and the metadata.rb

3. rake: This will run all of the local tests - syntax, lint, unit, and maintainers file.

4. rake integration: This will run all of the kitchen tests

Included in this cookbook is a set of Inspec profile tests used for the Windows 2012 and greater Test-Kitchen. These profiles can also be loaded into Chef Compliance to ensure on-going validation. The Control files are located at test/inspec/suite_name
