Scratch disk location

When creating the second disk, make sure that you place the disk on a datastore with block sizes large enough to support the expected VMDK. The following list shows the maximum file size available for each block size:

•
1 MB block size: 256 GB maximum file size
•
2 MB block size: 512 GB maximum file size
•
4 MB block size: 1024 GB maximum file size
•
8 MB block size: 2048 GB maximum file size
 
* 
NOTE: This limitation does not apply to VMFS 5.

Deploying the VA by using the Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard

vRanger uses a virtual appliance (VA) for replication to and from VMware® ESXi™ hosts, for FLR from Linux® machines, and optionally for backups and restores. The VA Deployment Wizard offers a simple method to deploy VAs one at a time. You can run the wizard for each VA that you need to deploy, or alternatively deploy multiple VAs at once as described in About deploying multiple VAs.

 
* 
NOTE: The automated deployment process requires DHCP. To deploy a VA through the Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard, you must have a DHCP server accessible to the VA during deployment.

To deploy the VA using the wizard, complete the following tasks:

•
Starting the Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard
•
Selecting a VA host
•
Selecting VA deployment options
•
Configuring the VA IP address
•
Confirming VA deployment selections

Starting the Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard

Complete the steps in the following procedure to start the wizard.

To start the wizard:
1
Do one of the following:
•
In the Tools menu, click Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard.
•
In the My Inventory view, right-click the host to which the VA should be deployed, and click Deploy Virtual Appliance.
•
In the Virtual Appliance Configuration node of the Configuration Options dialog box, click Deploy Virtual Appliance.
2
When the Virtual Appliance Deployment Wizard appears, click Next.

Selecting a VA host

You may deploy a VA to a single host or to a cluster. When performing a backup, restore, or replication task, vRanger first checks for a VA on the host. If no VA is associated with the host, and if the host is part of a cluster, vRanger checks for a VA on the cluster.

To select a VA host:
1
In the vCenter view in the center of the Host Selection dialog, select the host to which the VA should be deployed.
2
If you select a single host (a host that is not part of a cluster), select Associate VA with specific host.
OR
If you select a host on a cluster, select either:
•
Associate VA with specific host - this option results in the VA being used only for VMs on the specified host.
•
Associate VA with cluster - this option designates the VA as being shared among all of the hosts on the cluster. If a host in the cluster does not have a VA associated locally, then a shared VA will be used.
