<p>The deployment log files are located at: <code>C:\Users\vmwareUser\AppData\Local\VMware\CIP\vcsaInstaller\sessions\session_0004\logs</code>.  The logs gave no indication of the problem.</p>
<p>This was ultimately due to an incorrect configuration within DNS.  The DNS entry was not setup for the vCSA.  After creating the correct DNS entry and restarting the deployment, it completed successfully.</p>

<p>The actual version installed was <code>8.0.0.817</code>.<br>
<img src="https://pwaldman.com/content/images/2015/11/1-Current-Version.png" alt="Veeam Backup and Replication 8.0.0.817"></p>
<p>Version 8.0.0.817 does not support VMware vCenter and ESXi 6.0, vSphere 6 support was added with Veeam Backup &amp; Replication 8 Update 2.  Update 3 is now available can be be downloaded from the following link: <a href="http://www.veeam.com/kb2068">Veeam Backup &amp; Replication 8.0 Update 3</a>.</p>
<p>After installing the update, I was able to connect Veeam Backup &amp; Replication 8.0 to ESXi 6.0 Update 1 hosts.</p>
<p>Veeam does not modify their download links as updates are released.  As of today, the current downloadable version is still 8.0.0.817.  Note that they do include a link to a Update 3 on the download page.  If installing a new copy of Backup and Recovery for use with vSphere 6.0 products, first install Backup &amp; Replication 8.0.0.817, then install Update 3.<br>
