VMware ESX server.
z User name—Enter the user name for the account you will be using to log on to the source server.
z Password—Enter the password that is associated with the user account.
After all fields have been completed, click Next. A window will display the progress as the Storage
Mirroring for Virtual Infrastructure console generates a list of available virtual machines on the server.
The virtual machines that are found on the source server will be added to the list on the Select
virtual machine window.
Select a virtual machine to protect from the list, then click Next.
