HP Data Protector A.06.11 Support for VMware vStorage

vCenter Server system in a cluster
Data Protector also supports environments with a vCenter Server system in a Microsoft Cluster
Service cluster. After a failover in such a cluster, you do not need to change the backup
specification. However, if the failover occurs during a backup or restore session, the session fails
and has to be restarted.
Standalone ESX/ESXi Server environment
In a standalone ESX/ESXi Server environment, Data Protector communicates with vSphere through
the backup host. All backup and restore requests are sent there.
In one session, you can back up virtual machines from only one ESX/ESXi Server system.
Figure 4 : Standalone ESX/ESXi Server environment
In vCenter environments, Data Protector communicates with the VMware vSphere through a
vCenter Server system and, in standalone ESX/EXSi Server environments, through an ESX/ESXi
Server system. For the purposes of this documentation, this server system will be called the
VMware management client.
