Adding a vCenter

Previous Next


Configuring vRanger > Configuring vRanger manually > Adding a vCenter
Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a VMware® vCenter™ for vRanger backup.
To add a VirtualCenter:
1
In the My Inventory view, click the VMware tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click Virtual Center.
The Add VirtualCenter Credentials dialog box appears.
3
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the VMware® vCenter Server™.
4
In the User Name field, enter the name of an account with privileges on the vCenter Server.
For the required permissions for a vRanger vCenter account, see the topic on configuring vCenter permissions in the Quest vRanger Installation/Upgrade Guide.
 
 
NOTE: The user name for the vCenter credential should be entered in the username@domain format, rather than domain\username. Sometimes, the domain name might not be required. Avoid special characters in the user name.

If these credentials are changed in the future, you must restart the vRanger Service to recognize the changes.
5
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
 
 
NOTE: Avoid special characters in the password.
6
Click Connect.
vRanger attempts to connect to the vCenter using the current configuration. If it is successful, the vCenter appears in the My Inventory pane.

Adding a vCloud Director

Previous Next


Configuring vRanger > Configuring vRanger manually > Adding a vCloud Director
Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a VMware® vCloud Director® server for vRanger backup.
To add a vCloud Director:
1
In the My Inventory view, click the vCloud tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click vCloud Director.
The Add vCloud Director Credentials dialog box appears.
3
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the vCloud Director server.
4
In the User Name field, enter the name of an account with administrator privileges on the vCloud Director server.
5
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
 
 
NOTE: Avoid special characters in the password.
6
Click Connect.
vRanger attempts to connect to the vCloud Director server using the current configuration. If it is successful, the vCloud Director appears in the My Inventory pane.
You are prompted to add credentials for each VMware® vCenter Server™ attached to the vCloud Director.
7
In the Add vCloud Director Credentials dialog box, identify any vCenter Servers for which credentials are not configured.
The authentication status is indicated by a connection icon in the left-most column. A red disconnected icon indicates that a vCenter needs authentication.
8
Add the user name and password for the vCenter Servers as required, and click Connect to authenticate.
9
Click Done.

Adding an ESXi server

Previous Next


Configuring vRanger > Configuring vRanger manually > Adding an ESXi server
Complete the steps in the following procedure to add a VMware® ESXi™ server to vRanger protection.
To add an ESXi server:
1
In the My Inventory view, click the VMware tab.
2
Click the Add icon, and then click ESX Host.
3
In the DNS Name or IP field, enter the FQDN or IP address of the Host.

In the User Name field, enter an account for the host.
You may use the root account if connections through the root are enabled, or a non-root account. If the account does not yet exist on the host, select Add user if user does not exist.
5
In the User Password field, enter the password for the preceding account.
6
In the Root Password field, enter the password for the root account.
7
Click Connect.
If the ESXi server is already part of a vCenter added to vRanger, the host is added to the tree structure under the vCenter.
 
 
NOTE: If the connection is unsuccessful, confirm that the configuration settings are correct and that the ESXi server is visible to the computer where vRanger is installed.
