Disabling Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) for the vRanger VA

If the vRanger appliance is configured on hosts that are part of a DRS-enabled cluster, the VAs might be migrated to a different host due to DRS and high-availability (HA) activity. This change causes replication failures as the VA is no longer in the expected location — as configured in vRanger. To prevent this disruption, it is important to disable DRS for the vRanger VAs.

To disable DRS for the vRanger VA:
1
In your VI client, find the cluster or clusters that contain the vRanger VAs.
2
Right-click the cluster, and select Edit Settings.
3
In the Cluster Settings dialog box, select Virtual Machine Options.
4
Search for or find the vRanger VAs. Right-click each VA, and select manual.

Using vRanger

vRanger user interface (UI) overview

The vRanger UI consists of four views: My Inventory, My Repositories, My Jobs, and My Reports. Each view features the Main toolbar and each pane’s toolbar.

In the left pane within these views, data appears nested in a tree structure. In general, the information that appears in the right pane depends on the node that you select in the left pane. Each node has a distinct icon, making navigation easy and hierarchy clear.

For instructions on using the Startup Wizard to configure the software for your environment, see Configuring vRanger through the Startup Wizard.
