Status Bar

In every view, several icons display in the Status Bar at the bottom of the vRanger UI. Regardless of the view displayed, the Status Bar always gives you a glimpse of active job and task count. Using the example from the following table, the Active Jobs Count (4) corresponds to the first number in the My Jobs: Current Jobs node. The Active Tasks Count (2) corresponds to the second number at the same node level. That is, these counts display in this format in My Jobs: Current Jobs (4,2).

 
 

Service Support Logging: Right-click this icon to enable log files to help in troubleshooting Windows® vRanger service.

Client Support Logging: Right-click this icon to enable log files to help in troubleshooting the vRanger UI.

Active Jobs Count: This indicator tells you the total number of active backup, restore, and replication jobs running in real time.

Active Tasks Count: This indicator tells you the total number of active backup, restore, and replication tasks running in real time.

New Failed Jobs: Indicates that there are new failed jobs.

When you click the New Failed Jobs icon, this action resets the data in the Status Bar. In place of the new failed jobs icon, this icon appears and the active job and task counts are reset, populating with zeroes (0) initially.

My Inventory view

The My Inventory view displays the virtual infrastructure, configured jobs, and job details. It consists of the My Inventory pane on the left and the Working Inventory pane on the right. This view is the one from which most backup and replication jobs are added.

My Inventory pane

The My Inventory pane offers four tabs — one to show the infrastructure of VMware® VMs, one to show the inventory of Hyper-V® VMs, one for physical servers, and one to show the inventory of VMware vCloud Director® servers.

From this pane, you can navigate and refresh the tree; add or remove connections to VCs or VMware® ESXi™ servers; and add credentials to virtual servers. You can also add a backup or replication job.

My Inventory pane toolbar and icons

The toolbar is located under the Main toolbar — File, Tools, Help. Options on this toolbar are enabled or disabled based on which object is selected.

Cancel: To cancel a job that is running, click this command.

Edit: Click this icon to open the appropriate wizard and make updates to the configuration for the job.

Disable: When you click this command, the job that is selected in the Working Inventory pane is disabled. A pause icon appears next to the listing.

Remove: When you click to select a job or savepoint in the Working Inventory pane and then click this icon, the job is removed.

Run: Click this command to run the job that is selected. This option reloads the window and displays the job in My Jobs: Current Jobs.

The following icons appear in the My Inventory pane, and are enabled based on which tab you are viewing, and what you select in the My Inventory and Working Inventory panes.
