The vRanger VA is a small, pre-packaged Linux® distribution that serves as a platform for vRanger operations away from the vRanger server. With VAs, the workload can be spread across the other CPUs available to a host. This feature provides increased reliability and scalability over operations.
vRanger uses the VA for the following VMware® functions:
• |
Replication to and from VMware® ESXi™ hosts. |
When configuring the VA, consider the amount of resources — CPU and RAM — allocated to the VA as the number of simultaneous tasks the VA can process is directly tied to available resources. In addition, if you want to perform replication tasks using a VA, carefully consider an appropriate size for the VA scratch disk. For more information, see The VA scratch disk.
