Note the following about the NetBackup vSphere Web Client plug-in:

• The best screen resolution for the plug-in is 1280 x 1024 or greater.

• The plug-in does not support auto-refresh. To refresh the display, click the vSphere Web Client refresh icon:

  

• In vCenter, the default retention period for vCenter events is 180 days. This value is the recommended setting.

• If an ESXi server is removed from vCenter and is later re-added, the events for the VMs managed by that ESXi are lost. For VM status, the plug-in shows "No Backup Information." The status changes as new backup events occur for each VM.

• See Notes on the NetBackup recovery wizards.

• The NetBackup master server must be configured with backup policies of type VMware, with the Post events to vCenter option set to All Events.

  The plug-in monitors backups that a NetBackup VMware policy made. The plug-in does not monitor backups from other policy types.

  Note the following exceptions:

  • The plug-in does not monitor backups from a VMware policy that had Use Replication Director enabled and Application Consistent Snapshot disabled (under Options).

  • The plug-in does not monitor all the copies that a storage lifecycle policy (SLP) makes; it monitors the first image only.

• Search for virtual machines does not support non-ASCII characters. However, the search results show the VM names that contain non-ASCII characters. Therefore, you can search for ASCII characters only and still see the VMs that contain non-ASCII characters in their names.
