Manage ESX Servers

When you click on the Manage servers button, Storage Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure

automatically scans to find ESX servers that are VMotion™ destination candidates for protected

virtual machines, based upon SAN connectivity. You can view the Credentials Cached column to

identify servers that need to have credentials entered.

If you want to change the password for an ESX server, select Manage Servers in the left pane. The

Manage Servers window will appear in the right pane.

If a server is not being used by any protection, it can be removed from the list. To remove a server,

select the server, then click the Remove Server icon.

Add an ESX server

If you want to add a new ESX server, click the Add Server button. The Add server window will

appear in the right pane.

Enter the IP address or DNS name and password for the new ESX server, then click Save to save the

server credentials.

NOTE:

Only servers for which credentials have been entered will be available for use with

VMotion. For example, if you are protecting a virtual machine from ESX server A to ESX

server B and you plan to use VMotion technology to move the virtual machine to ESX

server C, you must enter credentials for ESX server C.
