2.7. Installation of Agent for ESX/ESXi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for ESX/ESXi is delivered as a virtual appliance. This component
enables you to back up and recover virtual machines hosted on a VMware ESX Server without
installing agents on the virtual machines.
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server provides an easy way to deploy Agent for ESX/ESXi to
multiple ESX or ESXi servers. You might generally prefer that method to the procedure described later in this
section.
Connect the console to the management server. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines, then click
Deploy ESX agent. Refer to the context help for further instructions.
2.7.1.

Installing ESX/ESXi Virtual Appliance

Step 1: Extracting the virtual appliance's files
1. On a machine running Windows, start the Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files. Then, in the list of installation packages, select the ESX/ESXi Virtual
Appliance (AcronisVirtualAppliance.msi) check box.
Tip: Alternatively, you can click Install Acronis Backup & Recovery 10, and then select the ESX/ESXi Virtual
Appliance check box in the list of components.
3. In Extract to, specify the folder to which you want to extract the virtual appliance's installation
package, and then click Extract.
4. Run the installation package.
After the installation is complete, the virtual appliance's files will be located in the folder
%CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\ESXAppliance.
Step 2: Importing the virtual appliance
Importing the agent is similar in VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and VMware vSphere. This section
describes both procedures because GUI controls are named differently in those products.
Importing the agent virtual appliance into VMware Infrastructure 3.5
1. Start the VMware Infrastructure client and log on to the VMware ESX server.
2. On the File menu, point to Virtual Appliance, and then click Import. Follow the Import Virtual
Appliance wizard.
3. In Import Location, select Import from file, and then specify the path to the virtual appliance's
OVF package—normally: C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Acronis\ESXAppliance\AcronisESXAppliance.ovf
