Appliance connections can be overridden from the management console. These include the port over which you connect to the Backup and DR agent and the credentials for the connection.
| Host type | Connection type |
|---|---|
| ESX server | The default ESX server management port is 902. If you
use a different port, then enter it here.
If the ESX server username and password have changed, then change them here. If you do not need to override the default settings, then enter nothing here. |
| vCenter server | A vCenter can have both vCenter settings and Backup and DR agent
settings, because a vCenter might also have the Backup and DR agent
installed on it.
The default vCenter management port is 443. If you use a different port, then enter it here. If the vCenter username and password have changed, then change them here. If you do not need to override the default settings, then enter nothing here. You must have the proper permissions on the vCenter in order to make any changes, otherwise you will see an error when you enter the updated login credentials. The vCenter checks for login credentials as well as permissions before it allows you to make any changes. |
