vRanger 7.8.5 - Installation/Upgrade Guide

Introduction Before you install System requirements and compatibility Installing vRanger Upgrading vRanger

Configuration requirements

HotAdd disk requirements

When using the HotAdd transport, the following disk restrictions and requirements apply.

•
HotAdd only works on SCSI and SATA disks. IDE disks and vRDMs are not supported.
•
HotAdd cannot be used if the VMFS block size of the datastore containing the VM folder for the target VM does not match the VMFS block size of the datastore containing the vRanger VM. For example, if you back up a virtual disk on a datastore with 1 MB blocks, the proxy must also be on a datastore with 1 MB blocks.

Password security setting policy

Weak passwords compromise system security. When you create and update passwords in vRanger, follow as many of these guidelines as your environment allows:

•
A password should not include a significant portion of a user or account name. A password should be at least six characters long and should contain several characters from these categories:
•
Uppercase letters in English — A to Z
•
Lowercase letters in English — a to z
•
Digits — 0 to 9
•
Non-alphabetic characters — for example, $, !, #, %
