Adding a Hyper-V cluster

Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a Hyper-V® cluster.

To add a Hyper-V cluster:
1
In the My Inventory view, click the Hyper-V tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click Hyper-V Failover Cluster.
3
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the Hyper-V cluster.
4
In the User Name field, enter the name of an account with domain administrator privileges on the cluster.
5
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
6
If this cluster is new, or if you have removed the vRanger Hyper-V agent, select Install agent on host.
7
In the Port Number field, enter the preferred port you want vRanger to use to communicate with the Hyper-V cluster on the source server.
This port must be open between vRanger and each Hyper-V server — the default is 8081.
8
Click Connect, and then click Next.
The Hyper-V cluster appears in the Hyper-V Clusters section. The hosts managed by that cluster appear in the Hosts section.

Adding hosts

If you have hosts that are not part of a cluster, you can add them individually.

To add hosts:
1
In the Hosts section, click Add.
2
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the Host.
3
In the User Name field, enter an account for the host.
4
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
5
If this host is new, or if you have removed the vRanger Hyper-V® agent, select Install agent on host.
6
In the Port Number field, enter the preferred port you want vRanger to use to communicate with the Hyper-V host on the source server.
This port must be open between vRanger and each Hyper-V server — the default is 8081.
7
Click Connect.
The host appears in the Hosts section.

Adding a physical server

Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a physical server to vRanger protection.

To add a physical server:
1
In the My Inventory view, click the Physical tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click Physical Machine.
The Add Physical Machine Credentials dialog box appears.
3
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the server.
4
In the User Name field, enter an account for the server.
5
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
6
If this server is new, or if you have removed the vRanger agent, select Install agent on machine.
In the Agent Location field, enter the preferred directory — on the physical machine — to which the physical client should be installed. The default is C:\Program Files\Quest\vRangerPhysicalClient.
7
In the Port Number field, enter the preferred port for vRanger to use to communicate with the physical client on the source server.
This port must be open between vRanger and each physical server — the default is 51000.
8
Click Connect.
The server appears in the My Inventory pane. You may also create a backup group to combine multiple physical servers into one backup job. For more information, see Adding a custom backup group.

Installing the physical client manually

vRanger requires a physical backup client to be installed on the source physical server. This process is normally done when the source server is added to the vRanger inventory, but in some circumstances it might be necessary to install the client manually.

To install the physical client manually:
1
On the vRanger server, find the physical client installation file — vRangerPhysicalClient.exe.
The file is located in the Service subdirectory of the vRanger installation folder. The default is C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\Service.
2
Copy the client to the preferred location on the source server.
3
From the source server’s command line, run the vRangerPhysicalClient.exe command modified by the following parameters:
•
USERNAME: Enter the name for an account with administrative Log on as a service rights on the source server.
•
PASSWORD: Enter the password for the preceding account.
•
DOMAIN: [Optional] If no value is entered, the preceding account is considered a local account. If you use a network account, enter the domain for the account here.
•
INSTALL_DIR: [Optional] The default is C:\Program Files\Quest\vRangerPhysicalClient.
•
PORT: [Optional] The default is 51000
Command examples

The following examples show the proper syntax for using the installer.

•
To accept the defaults, you must only provide credentials for the source server:
vRangerPhysicalClient.exe /USERNAME="administrator" /PASSWORD="Password"
•
You may also use a network account:
vRangerPhysicalClient.exe /DOMAIN="development "/USERNAME="user1"
/PASSWORD="Password"
•
To change the install location or port number, add that parameter with the preferred value:
vRangerPhysicalClient.exe /USERNAME="administrator" /PASSWORD="Password"
/INSTALL_DIR="c:\vRangerPhysicalClient"
vRangerPhysicalClient.exe /USERNAME="administrator" /PASSWORD="Password"
/PORT=52000
