Configuring the Plug-in
18
Server Name – Enter the name of the ESX/ESXi Server (in a standalone
server setup) or the vCenter Server (in a cluster setup). The server name
must be unique. If you do not specify a name, the plug-in will assign the
Server Address of the ESX or vCenter Server as the server name.
You cannot change the server name once it is configured.
Server Address – Enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the
ESX/ESXi Server (in a standalone server setup) or the vCenter Server (in
a cluster setup). You can also specify the IP address of the server, but
using the FQDN is the preferred method.
User – Enter a user account that can be used to log on to the vCenter or
ESX Server. The user account must have permissions to register or
create virtual machines.
Password – Enter the password for the user account.
5. Click OK to close the window. The plug-in will try to log on to the server, and if
successful, add the server to the backup selections tree.
