vRanger 7.8 - Installation/Upgrade Guide

Introduction Before you install System requirements and compatibility Installing vRanger Upgrading vRanger

Optimizing your network for backups

NOTE: This approach requires that each VMware® ESXi™ host and the vRanger machine have two NICs installed.

Using the first (primary) network interface card (NIC), connect the vRanger server, the vRanger VAs, the VMware® vCenter™ Server, and Management Network of each ESXi server host to the production network.
NIC teaming is a feature of VMware® Infrastructure that allows you to connect a single virtual switch to multiple physical Ethernet adapters. To utilize NIC teaming, two or more network adapters must be up-linked to a virtual switch. The main advantage of NIC teaming is increased network capacity for the virtual switch hosting the team.

Before you install > Installing the vRanger database

vRanger utilizes a SQL Server® database to store application and task configuration data. The database can be either the embedded SQL Server Express instance — the default — or a SQL Server database running on your own SQL Server or SQL Server Express instance.

Database options

The database deployment occurs during the initial installation of vRanger. The default installs a SQL Server® Express database on the vRanger server. You can also install vRanger using a separate SQL Server instance. If you intend to use your own SQL Server instance and want to use the vRanger cataloging feature, the SQL Server instance must be installed on the vRanger server. For more information, see Installing the databases.
Default: By default, the Installation Wizard uses the selection to install vRanger with the embedded SQL Server® 2014 SP3 Express database. The SQL Server Express database can only be installed on the vRanger server.
External SQL Server Instance: The Installation Wizard guides you through configuring vRanger with an external SQL Server® database. There is also an option in the Install Wizard to configure the database connection manually, but the guided approach is recommended.
IMPORTANT: For a list of supported SQL Server database versions, see System requirements and compatibility.

Installing the databases

When installing vRanger, consider the database selection carefully as migrating from a SQL Server® Express installation to an external SQL Server database carries a risk of corrupting application data.
If you do not intend to use cataloging, to provide the most flexibility, Quest recommends that you install vRanger using an external SQL Server database server. This step allows you to relocate the vRanger installation simply by installing the application in another location, and pointing the Install Wizard to the existing database.
With default filtering, the full catalog of a generic Windows Server® 2008 VM is approximately 500 files, or approximately 0.2 MB.
NOTE: Many Windows® files are not cataloged due to filtering; for more information about catalog filtering, see the Quest vRanger User’s Guide. An amount of data equal to a standard Windows Server® 2008 installation results in a larger catalog footprint.
