Configuring the VA IP address
To configure the VA IP address:
▪ Use DHCP for IP assignment automatically assigns IP settings to the VA if a DHCP server is available.
▪ Use Static IP lets you deploy the VA with a manual IP configuration.
▪ Obtain the DNS server address automatically uses the DNS settings provided by your DHCP server.
▪ Use the following DNS server address lets you specify DNS settings manually.

About deploying multiple VAs
The VA must be deployed to any VMware® ESXi™ host that you want to configure for replication — either as a source or a destination. For hosts in a cluster, you may deploy the VA to just one host in the cluster; the VA is shared among the cluster’s hosts.
For a few VAs, using the vRanger UI to deploy the VAs is sufficient. To streamline the process of deploying a high number of VAs, Quest recommends that you deploy and configure the VA once, and save it as a template to be used for additional deployments using the VMware vSphere® PowerCLI™. The Creating a template procedures include an optional step for creating a template from the configured VA.
Changing the VA configuration
After a VA is deployed, you may change its configuration from the vRanger UI.
To change the VA configuration:
▪ In the My Inventory view, right-click the VA you want to change, and then click Virtual Appliance Configuration.
a
b
cThe Modify Virtual Appliance Configuration dialog box appears.
2 In the Virtual Appliance Properties section, do the following:
a Next to VA Name, confirm the name of the VA.
b Next to IP Address, confirm the IP vRanger uses to connect to the VA.By default, vRanger connects to the vRanger VA using the first IP address reported by the VMware vSphere® API. This IP is displayed under Virtual Appliance Properties in the IP Address field. If you have only one NIC configured on the VA, continue to the next step.
If you have more than one NIC configured on the VA, you may not want vRanger to connect to the first NIC. Select Override IP Address to configure vRanger with the IP address for the NIC to which vRanger should connect.
For example, if you have two NICs configured on the VA, and want vRanger to connect to the second NIC, select Override IP Address to enable the IP Address field, and then enter the IP for the second NIC in the IP Address field.
3 In the Virtual Appliance Options section, use the Select an option drop-down list to change the resources allocated to the VA as needed.You may select from one of the following options:
▪ Minimum Requirement: This setting allocates one CPU and 512 MB of RAM. This entry is sufficient for two concurrent tasks per VA.
▪ Quest Recommended: This setting allocates two CPUs and 1 GB of RAM. This entry is sufficient for four concurrent tasks per VA.
▪ Custom Setting: Select this value to configure the VA with your own preferred settings; for example, higher resources for more concurrent tasks per VA.
4 To change the datastore for the VA’s primary disk, select the new datastore from the VA Datastore drop-down list.
NOTE: If you are using a VMware® vCenter™ version lower than 5.0, the ability to change the datastore of the VA scratch disk used for replication is not available.
5Select Use this virtual appliance for replication and configure the scratch disk size using the up-and-down arrows and the drop-down list. For more information about sizing a scratch disk, see Strategies for sizing the scratch disk.
6 [Optional] Enter a new password for the VA in the VA Password field, and then re-enter it in the Confirm password field.
7 If you want to perform FLR from backups of Linux® VMs, select Use virtual appliance for Linux File Level Restore to configure a VA to use for Linux FLR.If you select this option for a different VA in the future, that VA is used for Linux FLR.
