Working with VMware policies in the web UI
You can add new VMware policies and manage existing VMware policies in both the NetBackup Administration Console and the NetBackup web UI.
Functionality for VMware policies is the same in both interfaces, with a few differences:
In the NetBackup web UI | In the NetBackup Administration Console | |
|---|---|---|
Query Builder keywords | You must use OData keywords in the Query Builder. | You must use VIP keywords in the Query Builder. |
VM discovery and refresh | The way you manually discover or refresh VMware server assets is different in the web UI. See Discover VMware server assets manually. Also use this procedure to refresh discovery of VMware server assets, for example, before you browse for VMware servers. | You use the button to manually discover VMware server assets when browsing for VMs. |
Last update information | information about VMware server discovery is listed for each VMware server on the Browse for virtual machines dialog. and is also listed for each server when you click , then to view VMware servers. | You view from the VMware policy's Client tab's Browse for virtual machines dialog.This information pertains to the last update of a VMware server within the selected vCenter, not each VMware server. |
Note:
Details about VMware policies are not included with this guide. You can find complete documentation for VMware policies in the NetBackup for VMware Administrator's Guide.
