Dell DL1000 Deployment Manual page 36

NOTE: All virtual machines must have VMware Tools installed; otherwise, Rapid Recovery cannot
detect the host name of the virtual machine to which to deploy. In lieu of the host name, Rapid
Recovery uses the virtual machine name, which may cause issues if the host name is different from
the virtual machine name.
1. On the Rapid Recovery Core Console, click the Protect drop-down menu, and then click Deploy
Agent Software.
The Deploy Agent Software Wizard opens.
2. On the Connection page of the wizard, from the Source drop-down list, select vCenter / ESX(i).
3. Enter the host information and logon credentials as described in the following table.
Table 5. vCenter/ESX(i) connection settings
Text Box Description
Host The name or IP address of the VMware vCenter Server/ESX(i) virtual host.
Port The port used to connect to the virtual host.
The default setting is 443.
User name The user name used to connect to the virtual host; for example, Administrator or, if
the machine is in a domain, [domain name]\Administrator.
Password The secure password used to connect to this virtual host.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Machines page of the wizard, select one of the following options from the drop-down menu:
• Hosts and Clusters
• VMs and Templates
6. Expand the list of machines, and then select the VMs to which you want to deploy the software.
A notification appears if Rapid Recovery detects that a machine is offline or that VMware Tools are
not installed.
7. If you want to restart the machines automatically after deployment, select After Agent installation,
restart the machines automatically (Recommended).
8. Click Next.
Rapid Recovery automatically verifies each machine you selected.
9. On the Adjustments page of the wizard, enter the credentials for each machine in the following
format: hostname::username::password.
NOTE: Enter one machine on each line.
10. Click Finish.
The system automatically verifies each machine that you selected.
If Rapid Recovery detects any concerns during automatic verification, the wizard progresses to a
Warnings page, where you can clear machines from selection and manually verify the selected
machines. If the machines you added pass the automatic verification, they appear on the Deploy
Agent to Machines pane.
11. If the Warning page appeared and you are still satisfied with your selections, click Finish again.
The Rapid Recovery Agent software deploys to the specified machines.
