Before installing vRanger on Windows Server 2012 R2, the updates listed in Additional required software must be installed.

Additional required software

In addition to a supported version of Windows® and a supported VMware® Infrastructure, you may need some additional software components, depending on your configuration.

•
Microsoft® .NET Framework: vRanger requires the .NET Framework 4.5. The vRanger installer installs it if not detected.
•
SQL Server: [Optional] vRanger utilizes two SQL Server® databases for application functionality. vRanger can install a local version of SQL Express 2014 SP3 or you can choose to install the vRanger databases on your own SQL instance.
•
Windows PowerShell 3 or above.If you are installing vRanger on Windows 2008 R2 SP1, you will need to install Windows PowerShell 3 or above before installing vRanger
•
vRanger virtual appliance (VA): The vRanger VA is a small, pre-packaged Linux® distribution that serves as a platform for vRanger operations away from the vRanger server. vRanger uses the VA for the following functions:
•
Replication to and from VMware® ESXi™ hosts.
•
File-level restore (FLR) from Linux machines.
•
Optionally for backups and restores.
•
Updates for Windows Server 2012 R2: Before installing vRanger on Windows Server 2012 R2, ensure that the Windows updates listed below are installed:

Installing vRanger

The following topic describes the high-level steps for installing vRanger. For more information, see the Quest vRanger Installation/Upgrade Guide.

 
* 
NOTE: NetVault SmartDisk and vRanger cannot be installed on the same machine.

The installation of vRanger has several options. Unless you have a valid reason not to, accept the defaults wherever possible. The installation follows this sequence:

1
Launch the installer, and accept the vRanger license.
The install process does not continue until the license is accepted.
2
Enter the credentials under which the vRanger services should run.
The credentials used need to have local administrator privileges on the vRanger machine.
3
Choose an installation directory.
4
Select the vRanger database.
You may choose to install vRanger with a new instance of SQL Server® Express or on an existing SQL Server.
5
Configure the runtime credentials for the vRanger Database.
6
[Optional] Install the vRanger Catalog Service.
The installation completes.

Configuring vRanger

vRanger requires some basic configuration before data protection can begin. The bulk of this configuration is driven by the Startup Wizard which starts the first time the application is opened. For more information on configuring vRanger, see the Quest vRanger Installation/Upgrade Guide.

The following topics describe the primary configurations you need to make.

•
Add source servers: Before you can begin backups, you must add one or more source objects to the vRanger inventory. Source objects can include VMware® vCenter® or VMware® ESXi™ hosts, Hyper-V® Clusters or hosts, or physical machines.
•
Add repositories: Repositories are where vRanger stores the savepoints created by each backup job. For the purposes of this integration, a NetVault SmartDisk repository should be used.
The NetVault SmartDisk server must be fully configured and running before adding it as a vRanger Repository. For procedures on how to add a NetVault SmartDisk server as a repository, see Adding a NetVault SmartDisk repository.
