Configuration Tips
Use the following tips to configure your vmPRO appliance:
GroupConfiguration
If you plan to use more than one vmPRO appliance as part of your backup solution, set up the appliances
in a group configuration. See Configuring vmPRO Groups.
MultipleVLANConfiguration
If multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs) are present, configure the vmPRO network on the
VLAN that has access to the ESX or vCenter server(s) to be protected.
If you use third-party backup software, its client that connects to the vmPRO network must be able to
access the VLAN, as well.
