6. Specify the IP address or name of the vCenter Server for the resource group. Provide credentials

of the vCenter Server administrator.

Details. The management server will use this account when deploying agents. The agents will use

this account to connect to the vCenter Server. Therefore, the account must have the necessary

privileges for creating, backup, and recovery of virtual machines.

7. If a DHCP server is present on the network, you may want to leave the Automatically deploy

Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) check box selected. When a backup is about to start, the

management server will automatically deploy Agent for VMware to every cluster that has virtual

machines to be backed up but does not have the agent yet.

If the network uses static IP addresses, or if you prefer to deploy the agents manually, or if the

automatic deployment fails, clear the Automatically deploy... check box. You will need to

perform a few additional steps described in "Deploying Agent for VMware" (p. 12).

8. Click OK to confirm the changes.

The virtual machines managed by the vCenter Server appear in the Virtual machines section of the

Navigation tree. The virtual machines are shown as grayed out because Agent for VMware has not

been deployed yet.

5.2.4 Deploying Agent for VMware

Agent for VMware (Virtual Appliance) will be deployed automatically as necessary, if this option was
