Adding a server

Before you can use the plug-in for backups and restores, you must add the applicable VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter Servers to the plug-in. You must then configure a user account to log in to the server.

•
Standalone ESXi Server setup: In a VMware environment that consists of one or more ESXi Servers, add the individual hosts to the plug-in, and configure a user account for each server.
•
Cluster setup: In a cluster setup managed by a vCenter Server, add the vCenter Server to the plug-in, and configure a user account for this server.
 
* 
NOTE: The Plug‑in for VMware supports an ESXi Server that is in Lockdown mode if the host is managed by a vCenter Server.
To add a server:
1
In the Navigation pane, do one of the following:
•
Click Create Backup Job.
•
Click Guided Configuration. On the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create Backup Jobs.
2
To open the NetVault Selections page, click next to the Selections list.
3
Open the NetVault Client on which the plug-in is installed.
4
Click VMware Plugin, and select Add Server from the context menu.

Description

Server Name

In a standalone server setup, type a name for the ESXi Server.

In a cluster setup, type a name for the vCenter Server.

The server name must be unique. If you do not provide a name, the plug-in uses the Server Address as the server name. For a cluster setup, Quest strongly recommends that you use a generic name for the cluster instead of using a name associated with the machine on which the cluster resides. This generic name improves portability and policy management across all affected clients.

You cannot change the server name after it is configured.

NOTE: When adding an ESXi Server or a vCenter Server to the plug-in installed on different clients, specify the same server name on all clients. If you use different names, the plug-in reports an error, “Server not found,” when you try to restore a virtual machine backed up from one server to the same server with a different name. This issue occurs because the restore path is different.

Server Address

In a standalone server setup, type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the ESXi Server.

In a cluster setup, type the FQDN of the vCenter Server.

You can also specify the IP address of the server, but using FQDN is the preferred method.

Port Number

If you want to use a custom port number, type it here. Otherwise, the plug-in uses 443 as the default port.

User

Specify a user account that can be used to log in to the configured server. The user account must have privileges to register or create virtual machines.

Password

Type the password for the user account.
