Manage ESX Servers
When you click on the Manage servers button, Storage Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure
automatically scans to find ESX servers that are VMotion™ destination candidates for protected
virtual machines, based upon SAN connectivity. You can view the Credentials Cached column to
identify servers that need to have credentials entered.
If you want to change the password for an ESX server, select Manage Servers in the left pane. The
Manage Servers window will appear in the right pane.
If a server is not being used by any protection, it can be removed from the list. To remove a server,
select the server, then click the Remove Server icon.
Add an ESX server
If you want to add a new ESX server, click the Add Server button. The Add server window will
appear in the right pane.
Enter the IP address or DNS name and password for the new ESX server, then click Save to save the
server credentials.
NOTE: Only servers for which credentials have been entered will be available for use with
VMotion. For example, if you are protecting a virtual machine from ESX server A to ESX
server B and you plan to use VMotion technology to move the virtual machine to ESX
server C, you must enter credentials for ESX server C.
