Vsphere data recovery install

The first screen of the installation is displayed. Click Next. The setup wizard is displayed. The plug-in installation will now begin copying files. The Data Recovery plug-in installation is now complete. Click Close to move onto part two of the installation.

Locate the VMwareDataRecovery. If you see, that everything went smoothly, then you just need to reboot the VDP appliance and you're done. Please note that after the reboot, the first preparation takes up to minutes. If not, just revisit your steps and find a possible error.

Some guidelines: Make sure that your dns is corectly configured and your DNS servers is up. When setting up the appliance, you have the choice for thin or thick disks. If you overprovision your datastore by using thin disks, you might end up in a situation, where there is no more space on the datastore for the think disk to expand. And so you VDB backups will fail. In addition, all your VMs which lives on that datastore will stop.

So I would go thick since the beginning. There is a hint to speed up the deployment a bit. I found that in the VDP admin guide…. Thick provisioning allocates all of the required storage when the disk is created. The best practice for the vSphere Data Protection datastore is to create a thin provisioned disk when the vSphere Data Protection appliance is deployed this allows for rapid deployment and after deployment, convert the disk from thin provisioning to thick provisioning.

Just make sure that there is enough space on the datastore for the disk to inflate, after the deployment. Connect on: Facebook. Feel free to network via Twitter vladan. We have VDP 5. Any help appreciated.

For some bizzare reason the. Once i tried through vSphere Web Client it works! The user you just added should be listed to the right of that role.

I followed the steps given.. Set up completed successfully. Once I restart the VDP it goes through a bunch of configuration min. When I log in to the appliance I get the configuration options again. Run through the configuration again, and be sure to click Finish at the end and then OK on the dialogue box that pops up.

Any other way will cause the configuration to roll back. Given article very conscise and marked error where we are in,nice doing keep it up ……. Glad it helped you. The blog is mostly designed and maintained for it Help users, and myself with troubles when setting up products and technologies. Select the source for the installation. In my case, local file and click Next. Review the source details and click Next. Enter a name and select a destination folder for the VDP appliance.

Next, select a cluster for the VDP appliance. Select the virtual disk format, VM Storage Policy if you are using one and select the datastore where the VDP appliance will be deployed. Next, configure the appropriate network port group and click Next.

Enter the network properties for the VDP appliance and click Next. Select the appropriate time zone and click Next. Change the default password and click Next.

One thing to consider before you install VDP in your environment is the size of the datastore required. There is a nice sample of a sizing chart in the Administration Guide Figure A. Also, once you size your VDP datastore, you cannot go back and change it. You can choose to install using thin or thick provisioning. VMware recommends installing it using thin provisioning and then changing it to thick, as this will minimize your install time.

Once it is installed, you can increase it to the full 8 TB. Now you can create backup jobs by clicking the Backup tab and create restore jobs by clicking the Restore tab.
