ESX to ESX requirements
Use these requirements if your source is a virtual server on an ESX server, you want to
protect the host-level virtual disk files, and your target is a virtual server on an ESX
server.
l
ESX servers—The ESX servers that will host your source and target can be any of
the following operating systems.
l
ESX 3.5.x Standard, Advanced, Enterprise, or Enterprise Plus
l
ESX 4.0.x or 4.1 Standard, Advanced, Enterprise, or Enterprise Plus
Note: The ESX versions listed are commonly referred to as the Classic
edition. The ESXi versions, commonly referred to as the Embedded
and Installable edition, are not supported for ESX to ESX protection.
If your source and target are running on different versions of ESX,
ideally, the target should be a newer version of ESX. If your source
must be a newer version of ESX than the target, you must take into
consideration ESX features that are supported on the newer version
on the source (like VmxNet enhanced or additional virtual NICs
available) that will not be supported on the earlier target version of
ESX
.
l
VirtualCenter—Although VirtualCenter is not required, it is recommended. If you
are using it, then you must use version 2.5 or later.
Note: VMotion is only supported if you are using VirtualCenter.
Do not use MSDE for the VirtualCenter database.
l
Storage Mirroring Recover for Virtual Infrastructure service and console—
The service and console can be run from a physical or virtual machine running
Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP, or any of the
l
Ports—You must open ports 22, 443, and 6331 on the source and target servers.
