When you have finished entering the login information, click Connect. Storage Mirroring for Virtual

Infrastructure will verify the credentials that you have entered for the VirtualCenter server.

If this is your first time to use Storage Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure and no virtual machines have

previously been protected, you will be directed to begin selecting your virtual machines to protect. Continue

with “Select the source physical machine” on page 10.

If you have already configured protection for a virtual machine, after logging in you will be taken to the

Monitor Protection page. See “Monitor your Protected Virtual Machines” on page 23.

To log off the servers, click the
