4.2.4 Configuring ESX(i) host connection settings
For detailed information on setting and configuring your ESX(i) host connection credentials, please
refer to Managing ESX hosts (p. 75) section.
4.2.5 Using a locally attached storage
You can attach an additional disk to an Agent for ESX(i) (Virtual Appliance) so the agent can back up
to this locally attached storage. Such backup is normally faster than backup via LAN and it does not
consume the network bandwidth. We recommend using this method when a single virtual appliance
manages the entire virtual environment residing in a SAN attached storage.
You can add the storage to an already working agent or when importing the agent from an OVF
template.
To attach a storage to an already working agent
1. In VMware vSphere inventory, right click the Agent for ESX(i) (Virtual Appliance).
2. Add the disk by editing the settings of the virtual machine. The disk size must be at least 10 GB.
Be careful when adding an already existing disk. Once the storage is created, all data previously
contained on this disk will be lost.
3. Go to the virtual appliance console. The Create storage link is available at the bottom of the
screen. If it is not, click Refresh.
4. Click the Create storage link, select the disk and specify a label for it.
Details. The label length is limited to 16 characters due to file system restrictions.
To select a locally attached storage as a backup destination
When creating a backup task, in Where to back up->Browse dialog expand the Local Folders item
and choose the locally attached storage drive, for example D:\.
The same procedure applies to File recovery and other operations with the backups.
