Configure the DS-System to connect to a Remote DS-VDR Tool
The Remote DS-VDR Tool is configured from the DS-Operator GUI.
You must have at least one Remote DS-VDR Tool daemon running on a remote server accessible from the DS-System via TCP/IP on port 4406 (default). DS-Systems can be configured to use one or more Remote DS-VDR Tools.
When a backup set is configured for DS-VDR, the latest backed up generation is automatically restored to a stand-by VMware server. In the event the protected customer suffers a disaster or other event that requires them to use the DS-VDR service, they can simply contact their Service Provider and switch immediately to the stand-by VMware server(s).
You must have at least one Remote DS-VDR Tool daemon running on a remote server. However, DS-System can be configured to use multiple DS-VDR Tools.
1. DS-VDR Menu > Configure Remote DS-VDR Servers.
2. The "Configure Remote DS-VDR Servers" screen appears.
- F1 Help: See "Configure Remote DS-VDR Servers".
To modify, highlight a server from the list and click "Modify".
- In the "Add / Modify Remove DS-VDR Connection" screen, set required the connection information and click "OK".
4. Click "OK" or "Apply" to save the remote DS-VDR Tool settings.
- NOTE: The DS-VDR Tool (daemon) must be running on the server at the IP address you specify.
