4.2.1 Installing Acronis vmProtect 6.0 as Virtual Appliance on an

ESX(i) host

Acronis vmProtect software could be installed directly on an ESX(i) host. The process of remote

installation of Acronis vmProtect Virtual Appliance to an ESX(i) host is called deployment. The

software for running all necessary Acronis services will be installed on a separate small virtual

machine under a specially customized OS (small Linux distribution).

1. First, read the Acronis vmProtect license agreement, select the acceptance check box and then

click Next.

2. Specify the desired ESX(i) server or vCenter access credentials: IP address or hostname, your user

name and access password. When you click Next, the installer will automatically check the

connection and go through the authorization procedure.

3. Then the installer will check for previous versions of Acronis vmProtect or any other Acronis

software on the specified ESX(i) server. If you already have the Acronis Virtual Appliance set up

there and it is outdated, then the installer would prompt you to update it to the latest version or

create the new Virtual Appliance.

4. Set your Appliance (VM) name, choose the ESX(i) host and datastore as a target for deploying the

Acronis vmProtect software. You can change the Appliance name or keep the default one. The

Appliance name should be unique within the ESX(i) host. If you set the vCenter and its credentials

on the previous installation step, you have to choose one of the ESX(i) hosts contained in that

vCenter from the respective drop-down list. Otherwise, there will be no choice and you will see

your direct ESX(i) host.

Then, select the datastore on that specific ESX(i). If the space on that datastore is not enough for

installation, you will get the warning suggesting that you free up some space on the selected

datastore or choose another one. There can be only one unique Virtual Appliance with the

specified name on the specified datastore. If the Appliance name already exists there, you will

have to change either your Appliance name or the datastore.

5. Provide the information on the network settings for your Virtual Appliance. This step contains

standard network settings like IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server settings,

etc. You can also let the appliance acquire the network settings automatically, which is the

default option.

6. The next step prompts you to accept or ignore your participation in the Acronis Customer

Experience Program.

7. After going through all the required steps of the installation wizard, you will finally see the

summary information of the deployment operations to be performed  components to be

installed, required space, account information and chosen destination (host and datastore).

Then the Acronis vmProtect installer deploys the Virtual Appliance software. You will see the

progress bar with the current installation step indicated. After the deployment is finished

successfully, the appliance is started automatically. Please, wait until the whole process is

completed and everything is checked. This may take several minutes.

If the installation process finished successfully and all Acronis vmProtect components were

successfully deployed, you will get the "Deployment has been completed" page. Here, select the

check box if you wish to run the Acronis vmProtect Web Console (it will be opened in the default

Internet browser) to connect to your newly deployed Acronis vmProtect Virtual Appliance. Then click

Close. The default login:password for the Acronis vmProtect Web Console is root:root. Note that you
