Configure devices and media <strong>for</strong> use with <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong>.<br />
Configuring VMware users<br />
1. Identify an operating system user that should be used by <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> to connect to the<br />
backup host.<br />
2. Add this to the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> admin or operator user group. For details on adding users,<br />
see the online Help index: ”adding users”.<br />
Configuring a backup host<br />
The backup host is a <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> client with the Virtual Environment Integration<br />
component installed. No special configuration is required after installation.<br />
Configuring VMware management clients<br />
To connect to a VMware management client, <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> requires the following in<strong>for</strong>mation:<br />
Port<br />
Username<br />
Password<br />
Web root<br />
This in<strong>for</strong>mation was already provided when you imported the VMware management client into<br />
the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> cell. The credentials were saved to the cell_info file on the Cell Manager.<br />
When the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> uses the credentials from the file, we call it Standard security. Note<br />
that you can update the values using the following procedures.<br />
Alternatively, you can instruct <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> to use Integrated security, in which case <strong>Data</strong><br />
<strong>Protector</strong> takes the user account under which the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> Inet service on the Cell<br />
Manager is running. Integrated security is based on Security <strong>Support</strong> Provider Interface (SSPI).<br />
Note that the port and web root are still taken from the cell_info file.<br />
You can specify Standard security or Integrated security using the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> GUI or<br />
CLI.<br />
Using the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> GUI<br />
Open any backup specification <strong>for</strong> the VMware management client, go to the Source page, rightclick<br />
the client at the top, and click Configure.<br />
To change or check the parameters at a later time, use the same procedure.<br />
Using the <strong>Data</strong> <strong>Protector</strong> CLI<br />
1. Log in to the backup host and go to the following directory:<br />
<strong>Data</strong>_<strong>Protector</strong>_home\bin<br />
2. Run:<br />
1. For Integrated security:
