Configuring ESX Hosts page, Hosts list

Adding an ESX host/vCenter will not bind the licenses to it automatically. It will be bound only when

you execute a backup/restore task with a virtual machine running on this host. After you add an ESX

host/vCenter you will be able to perform backup/recovery tasks with the virtual machines running on

this ESX host/vCenter.

Removing an ESX host/vCenter will result in the disappearance of all tasks applied to virtual machines

running on this ESX host/vCenter. If the task included virtual machines from different ESX hosts, then

removing one of these ESX hosts from configuration will not remove the task.

In order to successfully manage an ESX host/vCenter, the login credentials are required. You can

enter the credentials here, and they will be recorded until you remove the ESX host/vCenter or

change the credentials manually. Changing the credentials operation may be required if your

company policy requires changing passwords due to security restrictions. For that, select the ESX

host/vCenter in the list and click the Edit credentials button on the right.

12.5.2 Adding ESX host

In order to add an ESX host/vCenter you have to provide the IP address/hostname and user

credentials to access the desired ESX host/vCenter. You can check the connection with Test

connection button to ensure that the provided credentials are correct. Click Save to add your ESX

host/vCenter.
