Using The Data Protector Cli - HP Data Protector A.06.11 Integration Manual

• Port: Optionally, change the TCP port number of the Virtual Infrastructure web
service server.
Default: 443 (SSL–encrypted HTTP), 80 (unencrypted HTTP).
By default, the HTTP/S (SSL–encrypted HTTP) is used. To switch to unencrypted
HTTP, configure the VMware management client to allow HTTP connections and
set the Data Protector omnirc variable OB2_VMWARE_HTTP to 1. On how to set
the omnirc variable, see the online Help index: "omnirc options".
If you leave the Port option empty, the value is read from the following file,
depending on your VMware management client:
VirtualCenter Server system: Windows registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMware
VirtualCenter\
ESX Server system: /etc/vmware/hostd/config.xml
If you select Integrated security, ensure that the backuptools.conf file on the
VMware management client contains the required data. The file location depends
on your VMware management client:
VirtualCenter Server system: C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware
VirtualCenter\backuptools.conf.
Standalone ESX Server system: /etc/vmware/backuptools.conf.
On the VirtualCenter Server system, the file does not exist by default. It has to be
created manually at the specified location. The file content should be similar to the
following:
USERNAME="Administrator"
PASSWORD="vnmx46578"

Using the Data Protector CLI

1. Log in to the VMware management client under a user account that is configured
as described in
2. Go to the following directory:
VirtualCenter Server system: Data_Protector_home\bin
Standalone ESX Server system: /opt/omni/lbin
