Select the target physical machine without VirtualCenter
If you did not enter credentials for a VirtualCenter server, the Select target server window will appear.
On the Select target server window, you will enter information to select the target server.
Enter the following information for the target server:
z
IP address or DNS Name—Enter the IP address or DNS name of the VMware server that will
provide a backup for your source virtual machine.
z
User name—Enter the user name for the account you will be using to log on to the target server.
z
Password—Enter the password that is associated with the user account.
After all fields have been completed, click Next. A window will display the progress as the Storage
Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure console authenticates the target server.
Select a data store on the target server
The data stores that are found on the target server will be added to the list on the Select target
datastore window.
NOTE: If there is a pre-existing virtual machine on the target ESX server with same filename and
directory structure as the source virtual machine that you are protecting, the protection
job will overwrite the target virtual machine if it is on the same datastore.
NOTE: Sufficient free space is determined by the following formula:
Required space on source: Primary datastore free space > 256 MB * number of
snapshot-capable disks
Required space on target datastore: Datastore free space > Sum of all
snapshot-capable disks sizes – amount of disk space used by pre-staged data
