4.1.3 How to install VMware Tools
Acronis vmProtect 9 requires the installation of VMware Tools inside the virtual machines that you
plan to back up. This is necessary to support proper quiescence of the file system (utilize VSS
support) and to enable files/folders exclusions capability. To install the VMware Tools:
Run the VMware Infrastructure/vSphere Client.
Connect to the ESX(i) server.
Select the virtual machine and run the guest operating system.
Right click the virtual machine and select Guest -> Install/Upgrade VMware Tools.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note that the Run VM from backup feature requires VMkernel networking to be configured on the
ESX(i) server. This can be done in vSphere client by going to Configuration -> Networking and adding
VMkernel connection type to the vSwitch properties.
4.1.4 Privileges for VM backup and recovery
Once Acronis vmProtect 9 Agent is installed on a Windows machine or deployed to an ESX(i) host, the
first thing you do is the configuration of ESX(i) hosts/vCenter which will be managed by this Agent.
The scope of available operations depends on the privileges a user (that you have specified while
adding a ESX(i) host/vCenter in vmProtect 9 Agent web console: Configure -> ESX(i) Hosts) has on the
vCenter Server. Only those actions are available that the user has permission to perform. The below
tables contain the privileges required for backup and recovery of ESX(i) virtual machines and,
additionally, for virtual appliance deployment.
Privileges on vCenter Server or ESX(i) host
Outlined in the below table are the privileges a vCenter Server user must have to perform operations
on all the vCenter hosts and clusters.
To enable a user to operate on a specific ESX host only, assign the user the same privileges on the
host. In addition, the Global -> Licenses privilege is required to be able to back up virtual machines of
a specific ESX host.
