Configure ESX Server 3i Systems

26 Agent for VMware Guide
This topic describes how to configure the communication protocol on ESX
Server 3i systems.
To configure ESX Server 3i systems
1. Install ESX Server. For more information about ESX Server requirements,
see the VMware ESX Server Installation guide on the VMware website.
Note: To manage your ESX Servers through VMware VirtualCenter, you
must install and configure VirtualCenter Server as part of Virtual
Infrastructure installation.
2. Install VCB on the backup proxy system with the following environmental
conditions:
Windows 2003 Server (32-bit or 64-bit) must be the operating system
■
running on the backup proxy system.
If the VMs that you want to back up reside on a SAN, the backup
■
proxy system must be able to access the SAN storage LUN, and have
the same LUN number assigned. The LUN in the backup proxy system
should not be signed.
Note: For information about VCB installation, setup, and limitations, see
the Virtual Machine Backup Guide on the VMware website.
3. Install the Remote Command-Line Interface (RCLI), which is provided by
VMware, on any Windows or Linux system.
4. Use the vifs command, which is available with RCLI, to get a copy of the
proxy.xml file for editing. The syntax for this command is as follows:
vifs --server hostname --username username --get /host/proxy.xml proxy.xml
5. Open the file labeled proxy.xml with a text editing application.
Navigate to the list of end points in the file (identified by the
<EndpointList> tag) that contain the settings for the Web service
supporting the SDK. The nested tags may appear as follows:
<e id="1">
<_type>vim.ProxyService.NamedPipeServiceSpec</_type>
<accessMode>httpsWithRedirect</accessMode>
<pipeName>/var/run/vmware/proxy-sdk</pipeName>
<serverNamespace>/sdk</serverNamespace>
</e>
Change the accessMode to httpAndHttps.
Save your changes and close the file.
