You can configure a single timeout value to be used for all VirtualCenter operations. By default, the value is 90

minutes.

1. Stop all protection jobs.

2. Stop the

DTEsxSvc service.

3. Change the default value of 90 minutes in the

DefaultJob.xml file:

<PropertyItem Name="RetriableOpTimeoutMin" Access="PUBLIC"

Permission="READWRITE">

</PropertyItem>

4. Restart your protection jobs.

Connect to the Administrative Servers

For both the Storage Mirroring server and the VirtualCenter server, you will need to enter valid credentials that

will allow you to connect to interfaces that these services are publishing on the network.

Connect to the Storage Mirroring server

In order to configure or manage any server, you must first enter credentials that have the appropriate

permissions to perform the desired tasks. The first time you launch Storage Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure,

the

Connect to Storage Mirroring Server dialog box will appear.

This dialog box will also appear if there are no previously-saved credentials, if the previously-saved credentials

are refused by the server, or if you have intentionally disconnected from the servers.

The Storage Mirroring server is where replication and licensing management takes place. The account you

specify must have permission to read and write files to that server. Typically, this account has administrator

permission.

Enter the following information in the appropriate fields:

•

Server—Enter the IP address or fully-qualified domain name of the Storage Mirroring server.

NOTE: If you have changed the default port (6320) used by the Storage Mirroring server, specify the

port as well. Enter the IP address and port in the Server field, using the format

Address:Port.

• User name—Enter the user name for the account that will access the Storage Mirroring server.

•

Password—Enter the password that is associated with the user name.
