Table: Options for selecting Hyper-V virtual machines
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Enter the VM display name | Note: The type of name to enter depends on the Primary VM identifier setting on the Hyper-V tab of the policy. Enter the host name, display name, or GUID of the virtual machine. The format of the host name or display name depends on your system. It may be the fully qualified name or another name, depending on your network configuration and how the name is defined in the guest OS. If NetBackup cannot find the name or GUID you enter, the policy validation fails. Make sure the option is cleared. |
Click this option to discover Hyper-V servers or cluster nodes (shown in the left pane). You can select virtual machines from a list (in the right pane). The virtual machine names that are listed may be derived from a cache file. Use of the cache file is faster than rediscovering the virtual machines on the network if your site has a large number of virtual machines. If the virtual machine is turned off but was turned on when the cache file was last created, its name appears in the list. If the display name of the virtual machine was recently changed in the Hyper-V Manager, note: The virtual machine name that was used for the backup does not change. If NetBackup cannot obtain the IP address of the virtual machine, the IP address is displayed as NONE. |
