4.1.3 How to install VMware Tools

Acronis vmProtect requires the installation of VMware Tools. To install the VMware Tools:

 Run the VMware Infrastructure/vSphere Client.

 Connect to the ESX 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 server. This can be done in vSphere client by going to Configuration->Networking and adding

VMkernel connection type to the vSwitch properties.

4.2 Installation options

The very first thing you have to do is to install Acronis vmProtect software, configure your ESX(i) host

connection settings and set up your access credentials to Acronis vmProtect web console.

When you run your Acronis vmProtect installation package, the installation menu appears. Acronis

vmProtect has three main installation options:

 Install Acronis vmProtect 6.0 as Virtual Appliance on an ESX(i) host.

 Install Acronis vmProtect 6.0 as Windows Agent.

 Extract installation files.

The first two options allow you to install the software on a remote ESX(i) host (see Installing Acronis

vmProtect 6.0 as Virtual Appliance on an ESX(i) Host (p. 11)) or install Acronis vmProtect software on

your local PC (see Installing Acronis vmProtect 6.0 as Windows Agent (p. 12)). The third option allows

you to extract the installation files (see Extracting installation files (p. 14)) and perform either Acronis

vmProtect remote deployment or local installation manually with the help of standard installation

tools.

Acronis vmProtect Virtual Appliance deployment to an ESX host is a better choice if your

infrastructure is fully virtualized.

Acronis vmProtect Windows Agent installation on your local PC is a preferable choice if you have a

physical computer available to be used as a console for managing all vmProtect functionality.

If you would need to manage or troubleshoot your Virtual Appliance / Windows Agent installation

without the default installer or if you would need to install only a certain component without

carrying out the full installation procedure, you can always choose to extract the installation files.
