Add Hyper-V Nodes

Use this method to import the virtual machine nodes from a Microsoft Hyper-V server.

Follow these steps:

1. On the Add Hyper-V Nodes dialog, specify the following details.

   

   Hostname/IP Address

   Specifies the Hyper-V server name or the IP address. To import virtual machines that are in Hyper-V clusters, specify either the cluster node name or Hyper-V host name.

   Username

   Specifies Hyper-V user name having the administrator rights.

   Note: For Hyper-V clusters, use a domain account with administrative privilege of the cluster. For standalone Hyper-V hosts, we recommend using a domain account.

   Password

   Specifies the password of user name.

   Cancel Plan Creation

   Cancels the plan that you just created.

2. Click Connect.

   The discovered hostnames are displayed. Expand a hostname to see the nodes.

   

3. (Optional) You can type the node name in the filter field to locate the node in the tree.
4. Select the nodes, and then click Add to List.

   The selected nodes are added to the right pane.

5. (Optional) To remove the nodes from the right pane, select the nodes and click Remove.
6. Click Next.

   The nodes are added to the plan.

Create Backup Plans

Using UDP Appliance, you can create backup plans for Windows, Linux, and virtual machines. You can also write data to a tape device and create a virtual standby machine.

Create a Backup Plan for Linux Nodes

You can back up Linux nodes from the Appliance Console. The Linux Backup Server is already added to the Console.

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Appliance Console.
2. Click resources, Plans, All Plans.
3. Create a Linux Backup plan.
4. Specify the Source, Destination, Schedule, and Advanced configurations.

   Note: For more information about each of the configurations, see How to Create a Linux Backup Plan in the Solutions Guide.

5. Run the backup plan.
