HP Data Protector 6.1 software VMware Integration Installation Best Practice

1. On the ESX server, set the omnirc variable OB2PORTRANGE:

OB2PORTRANGE=42000-42100

2. Make the same changes on the Cell Manager

3. Restart the services on the Cell Manager with omnisv –stop and omnisv –start. This

completes the configuration.

You can check the configuration of the ESX server and the ports directly from the command line on

the ESX server. Foe example, to configure the ESX server in Data Protector with standard security:

#/opt/omni/lbin/util_vmware.exe –config –security 0 –user root –

password secret –port 443 \ –webroot /sdk

If the command runs successfully, a file is created on the Cell Manager under

<Data_Protector_home>\config\server\Integ\Config\VMware\hostname%_OB2GLOBAL which contains

the configuration and the encrypted login credential.

Note: The range of 42000–42100 with100 ports in the example above is quite large. This can

be reduced to a smaller number. It is also not necessarily to start at 42000; it can be anywhere in

the range 1024 to 65535. As well as the OB2PORTRANGE variable, there is

OB2PORTRANGSPEC, which can be used to define dedicated port ranges for dedicated Data

Protector agents.
