Chat now with support

Prerequisites

Before installing the plug-in, verify that the following requirements are met:

•

Create a Windows VM: Create a Windows VM on the cluster that you want to protect. Note the name of the VM from the RHV-M.

•

Install NetVault Client: Install the NetVault Client software on the VM on which you want to install the Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization. Make sure that this machine uses Windows Server 2016 or later. Complete this requirement for each machine that functions as a backup proxy for each cluster.

•

Configure DNS entries on the NetVault Client: On each NetVault Client that functions as a backup proxy, configure Domain Name System (DNS) entries for RHV-M. RHV requires this information and that the RHV-M be accessible by host name rather than its IP address.

•

Add the NetVault Client: Add the designated client to the NetVault Server.

•

Define an RHV-M for each cluster and storage domain: Make sure that RHV-M is defined for each RHV cluster and storage domain that you want to protect, and make note of the RHV-M credentials. This information is required to configure the Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization.


	NOTE: Configuring the Plug‑in for Red Hat Virtualization requires user credentials with administrator rights.

For more information about installing or adding the NetVault Client, see the Quest NetVault Installation Guide.
