6.3.2.7 Deploy Avamar vSphere Proxies (ESXi only)
This menu item is always displayed but only applies to ESXi clusters.
This menu item deploys Avamar vSphere proxies according to the Avamar Server recommendation. Proxy
VMs facilitate backup activities for Avamar on ESXi clusters and are required for backing up VMs. A proxy
deployment recommendation may be performed at any time, but DPMC prompts the user to run the proxy
deployment recommendation when a new ESXi cluster is discovered. DPMC deploys these proxy VMs with
minimal effort. This action must be completed during the initial configuration.
Deploy Avamar vSphere Proxies
Proxy VM creation is described in detail in the vSphere Proxies for ESXi section of this document. This step
may take 10 minutes or more based on number of clusters to be configured.
NOTE: Proxy VMs are created using vCenter and must remain with the host (i.e. cannot be migrated). An
Avamar or DPMC VM deletion will not delete the proxy VMs.
6.3.2.8 Launch Avamar Administrator
You can manage Avamar by using the Avamar Administrator applet.
DPMC provides a download option. You can select the Launch Avamar Administrator item and DPMC will
install the administrator application on the management console.
You can also download the Avamar Administrator applet, directly from the Avamar web server located at
https://xx.xx.xx.xx/dtlt/home.html, where xx.xx.xx.xx is the AVE web address.
