Create an Azure Stack HCI hypervisor to support data protection operations for all virtual machines hosted or managed by the hypervisor. The hypervisor can be an Azure Stack HCI cluster or an Azure Stack HCI server in a cluster.
Before You Begin
-
Identify the access nodes that you want to install the VSA on to create proxies for backups and restores.
-
Verify that the access nodes can communicate with the CommServe computer. If the access nodes reside behind a firewall, register the access nodes to the CommServe computer by installing the VSA package with the required firewall settings.
Procedure
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Virtualization.
The Overview page appears.
-
On the Hypervisors tab, in the upper-right corner of the page, click Add hypervisor.
The Add hypervisor dialog box appears.
-
For Select vendor, select Microsoft Azure Stack HCI.
-
For Hostname/IP address, enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address for the hypervisor.
-
For Hypervisor name, enter a descriptive name for the hypervisor.
-
To provide access to the hypervisor, select one of the following:
-
Enter credentials: For Username and Password, enter the user credentials to provide administrative access to the hypervisor.
-
Use saved credentials: For Credentials, select a credential from the list of those available.
The credentials listed are applicable to this hypervisor.
Note
