Appliance connections can be overridden from the appliance 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 don't 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 don't need to override the default | |
| settings, then enter nothing here. | |
| You must have the proper permissions on the vCenter 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 lets you make | |
| any changes. |
