Step 3: Configuring the virtual appliance
1. Starting the virtual appliance
In the VMware Infrastructure client, display the Inventory, right-click the virtual appliance's
name, and then click Power On.
Select the Console tab. The virtual appliance welcome screen tells you what to do next. Click
Close. You will be able to access this screen at any time by clicking the help button in the virtual
appliance GUI.
You are taken to the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi screen where you
continue the agent configuration.
2. Time zone
Under Virtual machine, in Time zone, click Change and select the time zone for the location
where the management console is installed.
An ESX server always works in the GMT time zone. When being imported, a virtual appliance
inherits the GMT time zone from the server. If the console works in another time zone, you need
to synchronize the virtual appliance with the console to ensure that the tasks scheduled using
the console run in the appropriate time.
3. ESX(i)/vCenter
Under Agent options, in ESX(i)/vCenter, click Change and specify the name or IP address of a
VMware ESX/ESXi server whose virtual machines you want to back up and recover, and the user
name and password for logging on to that server. You can click Check connection to ensure the
access credentials are correct.
