HP Data Protector A.06.11 Support for VMware vStorage

Importing VMware clients into the Data Protector cell

With the Data Protector VMware vStorage integration, it is not necessary to install any Data

Protector components on VMware clients (vCenter Server systems, ESX(i) Server systems), but to

make them Data Protector clients, they must be imported into the Data Protector cell.

Note

If you want to install a Data Protector component on a VMware client (for example, you want to be

able to perform a filesystem backup on the client), install the Data Protector component first and

then import the client as a VMware vCenter or VMware ESX client. Otherwise, you will have to re-

import the client after the component has been installed.

Using the Data Protector GUI

To import a client into the Data Protector cell:

1. In the Context List, click Clients.

2. In the Scoping Pane, expand Data Protector cell, right-click Clients, and click Import

client.

3. In the Import client dialog box, enter the client name in the Name box, select the appropriate

client type (VMware ESX(i) or VMware vCenter) from the Type drop-down list and click

Next.
