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, and configure a user account to log on 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, click Create Backup Job.
— or —
In the Navigation pane, click Guided Configuration, and then on the NetVault Configuration Wizard page, click Create Backup Jobs.
2
Click Create New next to the Selections list to open the NetVault Backup Selections page.
3
Open the NetVault Backup Client on which the plug-in is installed, and select VMware Plugin.
4
In the Actions list, click Add Server.

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.

You cannot change the server name once 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.

User

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

Password

Type the password for the user account.

To close the dialog box, click OK.
The plug-in tries to log on to the server, and if successful, adds the server to the backup selection tree.
 
* 
NOTE: If a non-default port is configured on the vCenter Server to listen for connections from the vSphere Client, the plug-in cannot communicate with the server.
