Configuring a virtualization server
A virtualization server is the target destination where the backed up virtual machine is restored. You must have at least one virtualization server configured and running for the DS-System to perform a Remote DS-VDR restore. You can configure the DS-System to use multiple virtualization servers.
IMPORTANT: The target virtualization server must be the same type as the backup (Hyper-V to Hyper-V or VMware to VMware).
To configure a virtualization server:
1. On the DS-VDR menu, click Virtualization Servers, and then do one of the following:
• To add a virtualization server, click Add.
• To modify a virtualization server, select the server, and then click Modify.
NOTE: To delete a virtualization server, select the server, and then click Remove.
2. In the Add / Modify Virtualization Server dialog box, do the following:
a) In the IP address box, type the IP address of the virtualization server.
b) In the User name box, type the name of a user with administrator level permissions on the target virtualization server. The DS- System uses these credentials to access the virtualization server.
c) In the Password box, type the password of the user.
d) In the Type box, select whether the virtualization server is a VMware vCenter Server or Microsoft Hyper-V Server.
e) Click OK.
3. Click OK.
