Installation Overview
  1. 1.
    Choose your installation option. There are the following options:
  2. 2.
    Regardless of the installation option you choose:
    • The node requires staging space - assume a number of concurrent export and store tasks and multiply it by the biggest VM size (for example: 6 export tasks + 4 store tasks * 100 GB should require around 1 TB)
    • The Staging space configuration will guide you to prepare storage on the spare drive
    • vProtect is installed in the /opt/vprotect folder and staging space is assumed to be in /vprotect_data - these are the defaults and should not be changed.
  3. 3.
    Now it is time for the Initial configuration​
  4. 4.
    Add your Hypervisor(s) or Hypervisor Manager(s) and initiate the index to retrieve a list of VMs, storage etc.:
    • by indexing Hypervisor Manager (RHV/oVirt/OLVM/Oracle VM/Nutanix Prism) you'll have hypervisors added automatically. Other hypervisors need to be entered one by one (KVM/Xen/Citrix Hypervisor/XCP-ng/Proxmox VE)
    • check the appropriate sub-section for your platform: Virtualization platforms​
  5. 5.
    Set up the backup provider:
    • you should check the backup destinations section for a detailed description of properties: backup destinations​
  6. 6.
