Preparing for vRanger sweep-to-tape using NetVault Backup
Scenario 1: vRanger and NetVault Backup are on the same server:
• Windows PowerShell® — PowerShell and vRanger must always be installed on the same server.
NOTE: When installing vRanger and NetVault Backup on the same server, do not install the Quest NetVault Backup Plug-in for VMware®.Scenario 2: vRanger and NetVault Backup are running on different servers:
NetVault Backup is installed on its own server. All other components reside on the vRanger server.
Enabling execution of PowerShell scripts
Windows PowerShell® contains an execution policy that determines whether scripts are allowed to run, and whether they must be digitally signed before they can run. While the default policy is set to block the execution of such scripts, the following topic details the process for enabling this option.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to enable execution of PowerShell scripts.
To enable execution of PowerShell scripts:
1 Click Start > All Programs > Quest > vRanger Backup & Replication > vRanger Console.
