Hello,
I'm having a very hard time to get GRE running. I read the manual "Granular Recovery Extension User Guide for Microsoft SharePoint Server, Exchange and VMware", but from my point of view it's hard to follow the steps. And there is nothing in it at all about the configuration for vCenter Appliance (VCSA).
- DP 9.04 Windows Cell Manager VM with VMware Integration installed - Host A
- DP 9.04 Windows Media Agent (DL580G7, we need this for library/tape connection), with installed GRE Extension Host B
- VMware 6.0U1 VCSA vCenter - Host C
In the DP GUI I've checked the box "Advanced GRE Web Plug-in" on the VCSA Login page. In the Web Client I already see a new "HP Data Protector" tab with some options. But it only displays "Loading" in the main window. My User in vCenter has full admin rights in DP. It also asks for a Cell Manger and chooses the right one by default. But after that I can not do anything.
I'm really confused about what I've to add to which client. Especially the firwall rules and the settings for encryped control communication (which we are using).
On each client with the VMware GRE agent installed, implement the following:
a.
Create a new file called config in the following path:Windows systems: Data_Protector_program_data\Config\Server\ and set encoding to UCS-2 Little Endian. UNIX systems: /etc/opt/omni/server and create an ordinary (ascii) file.
b.
For each vCenter Server system add an entry one after another in the config file. For example:<vcenter1.company.com>={ encryption={ exception=1; }; }; <vcenter2.company.com>={ encryption={ exception=1; }; };
Here <vcenter.company.com> is the host where the plug-in is installed, and uses the VMware GRE agent.
I've installed the GRE Agent (Extension?) on the Media Agent, there is no directoryData_Protector_program_data\Config\Server\ only Data_Protector_program_data\Config\Client
Can please someone post a step by step guide on how to setup VMware GRE with DP 9.04 and VMware VCSA?
