•
automatically register virtual machines created by Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 in the vCenter
inventory
•
automatically deploy and configure Agent for ESX/ESXi to any ESX/ESXi server, that is not
necessarily managed by the vCenter.
The vCenter integration functionality is delivered as an add-on to Acronis Backup & Recovery 10
Management Server. The add-on is installed by default during the management server installation or
update. Even if you do not use VMware vSphere, you might want to install vCenter Integration to be
able to easily deploy, configure and update Agent for ESX/ESXi.
No software installation is required on the vCenter Server.
Three ESX hosts are managed by the vCenter Server. Backup of all virtual machines is managed by the
AMS through the agents. The agents can be deployed, updated and removed using the AMS GUI. The
AMS and the vCenter provide each other with the information related to virtual machines backup.
The following schemes illustrate the integration details for advanced users.
