Managing ESX servers

If you have not done so already,

launch the Storage Mirroring Recover for Virtual

Infrastructure console

.

When you click on the Manage ESX servers button, Storage Mirroring Recover 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.

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.

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

Adding an ESX server

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