Configuring DNS

Depending on your environment, you might have to configure the VA with DNS nameserver information. The steps to change an existing configuration are the same.

To configure DNS:
search <domain1> <domain2> <domain3>
nameserver <IP address>
nameserver <IP address>

Restart the VA by typing reboot at the prompt.

Disabling Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) for the vRanger VA

If the vRanger appliance is configured on hosts that are part of a DRS-enabled cluster, the VAs might be migrated to a different host due to DRS and high-availability (HA) activity. This change causes replication failures as the VA is no longer in the expected location — as configured in vRanger. To prevent this disruption, it is important to disable DRS for the vRanger VAs.

To disable DRS for the vRanger VA:

In the Cluster Settings dialog box, select Virtual Machine Options.

vRanger user interface (UI) overview

The vRanger UI consists of four views: My Inventory, My Repositories, My Jobs, and My Reports. Each view features the Main toolbar and each pane’s toolbar.

In the left pane within these views, data appears nested in a tree structure. In general, the information that appears in the right pane depends on the node that you select in the left pane. Each node has a distinct icon, making navigation easy and hierarchy clear.

For instructions on using the Startup Wizard to configure the software for your environment, see Configuring vRanger through the Startup Wizard.
