Managing job configuration settings

Through the Configuration Options dialog box, you can set limits for the number of tasks running, the time frame for task execution, and the space allowed on a datastore to accommodate snapshot growth.

The maximum number of tasks are defined in the following table.

Table 1. Maximum number of tasks

On vRanger

The maximum number of backup, restore, and replication tasks running on this instance of vRanger at any one time.

off a LUN

The maximum number of tasks allowed on any particular logical storage device.

on a host

The maximum number of tasks running on a host at any given time.

per repository

The maximum number of tasks allowed on any specific repository at any specific time.

locally

The number of backup and restore tasks that are physically running on the local vRanger machine.

per VA

The number of replication tasks running on a vRanger virtual appliance (VA).

To manage job configuration settings:

In the Resource Management section, set a maximum for the number of tasks that can be run:
4
In the Timeout section, populate the Task Timeout (1 - 999 hours) field — the default is 24.
5
In the Minimum space needed on host (GB) field, enter a number — the default is 6.

About catalog filtering

About catalog filtering

While there are thousands — or hundreds of thousands — of files in a typical VM, most are not relevant to FLR operations. To streamline cataloging operations, and reduce impact to the catalog database, vRanger filters files to be indexed in two ways:

Path: By default, vRanger does not catalog any files in the following directories. Path filtering is determined by entries in the PathFilterTokens.txt file, at C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\Configuration.

 

Program Files

Windows

$Extend

$TxfLog

$Txf

RECYCLER

System Volume Information

I386

File: By default, vRanger does not catalog files of the following type. File filtering is determined by entries in the FilesFilterTokens.txt file, at C:\Program Files\Quest\vRanger\CatalogManager\Config\Files.

 

.lnk

$MFT

$Volume

$AttrDef

$BitMap

$Boot

$BadClus

$Secure

$UpCase

$Quota

$ObjID

$Reparse

$RmMetadata

$Repair

$Tops

$TxfLog

For most situations, the default filtering options are sufficient. If you want to filter out additional paths or files, simply add the path or file to the appropriate text file.

Managing Transport Failover options

Previous Next


Configuring vRanger > Configuring vRanger manually > Managing Transport Failover options

Managing Transport Failover options

Replication transport actions occur through HotAdd — LAN-free or network. If one transport method is not available, vRanger attempts to perform the replication task using one of the other transport methods. The order in which you should sort the transport options depends on what type of host you have. The VA-based Network option is the slowest of the three, and should be configured last. For VMware® ESXi™ hosts, configure the transport order to VA-based HotAdd > VA-based Network.

To manage transport failover settings:

Under the My Jobs node, click Transport Failover.
