Managing physical machine licensing

Before you start this process, make sure that you have imported the license file and confirmed that it is adequate for managing the number of physical machines you want to protect. The Currently Installed Licenses section includes the total number of physical machine licenses available, and the number being used currently. These numbers increment and decrement based on the selections you make in this dialog box.

To manage physical machine licensing:
1
2
Under the Licensing node, click Physical Machine.
3
In the Currently Installed Licenses section, view the Machines Allowed value to confirm the total number of physical machines licenses available.

The number of licenses currently allocated is shown in the Machines Used column.

The Licensed Physical Machine section lists the physical machines in the vRanger inventory, and indicates whether each machine is licensed for backup.

4
In the Physical Backup column, select or clear machines until you have used all the available licenses, or until all your machines are protected.

The maximum number of tasks are defined in the following table.

Table 1. Maximum number of tasks

On vRanger

The maximum number of backup, restore, and replication tasks running on this instance of vRanger at any one time.

off a LUN

The maximum number of tasks allowed on any particular logical storage device.

on a host

The maximum number of tasks running on a host at any given time.

per repository

The maximum number of tasks allowed on any specific repository at any specific time.

About catalog filtering

About catalog filtering

While there are thousands — or hundreds of thousands — of files in a typical VM, most are not relevant to FLR operations. To streamline cataloging operations, and reduce impact to the catalog database, vRanger filters files to be indexed in two ways:

Path: By default, vRanger does not catalog any files in the following directories. Path filtering is determined by entries in the PathFilterTokens.txt file, at C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\Configuration.

 

Program Files

Windows

$Extend

$TxfLog

$Txf

RECYCLER

System Volume Information

I386

File: By default, vRanger does not catalog files of the following type. File filtering is determined by entries in the FilesFilterTokens.txt file, at C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\CatalogManager\Config\Files.

 

.lnk

$MFT

$Volume

$AttrDef

$BitMap

$Boot

$BadClus

$Secure

$UpCase

$Quota

$ObjID

$Reparse

$RmMetadata

$Repair

$Tops

$TxfLog

For most situations, the default filtering options are sufficient. If you want to filter out additional paths or files, simply add the path or file to the appropriate text file.
