Table 112. Remote Linux machine settings
Option Description
VirtualBox Host
Name
Enter an IP address or host name for the VirtualBox server. This field represents the IP address or
host name of the remote VirtualBox server.
Port Enter a port number for the machine. This number represents the port through which the Core
communicates with this machine.
Virtual Machine
Name
Enter a name for the virtual machine being created.
NOTE: The default name is the name of the source machine.
Target Path Specify a target path to create the virtual machine.
NOTE: It is recommended that you create a root folder from root so that the virtual machine runs
from root. If you do not use root, you will need to create the destination folder manually on the
target machine prior to setting up the export. You will also need to manually attach or load the
virtual machine after the export.
User Name User name of the account on the target machine, for example, root.
Password Password for the user account on the target machine.
Memory Specify the memory usage for the virtual machine by clicking one of the following:
● Use the same amount of RAM as source machine
● Use a specific amount of RAM, and then specify the amount in MB
The minimum amount is 1024 MB and the maximum allowed by the application is 65536 MB. The
maximum amount of memory usage is limited by the amount of RAM available to the host machine.
9. Select Perform initial one-time export to perform the virtual export immediately instead of after the next scheduled
snapshot.
10. Click Next.
11. On the Volumes page, select the volumes of data to export, and then click Next.
12. On the Summary page, click Finish to complete the wizard and to start the export.
NOTE: You can monitor the status and progress of the export by viewing the Virtual Standby or Events pages.
Managing exports
If your Core has virtual export established, the configuration parameters for each virtual export appear as a row on the Virtual
Standby page. From here you can view the status of exports that you currently have set up, and manage your virtual standby
machines. You can add a virtual standby, force export, pause or resume virtual standby, or remove the requirements for
continual export.
When a one-time export takes place, the job is listed in the export queue on the Virtual Standby page. During this time, you
can pause, resume, or cancel the export operation.
NOTE: Rapid Recovery supports Hyper-V export to Window 8, Window 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2.
Virtual export to a virtual standby VM does not occur if the VM is powered on.
Complete the steps in this procedure to manage virtual exports.
1. On the Core Console, in the icon bar, click
(Virtual Standby).
The Virtual Standby page appears. Here you can view two tables of saved export settings. They include the information
described in the following table.
