Use the configuration wizard for the initial configuration or to complete minor changes
on Linux.
Before you begin
The system where Data Protection for VMware is installed
must have network connectivity to the following servers:
- Remote Data Mover
- IBM
Spectrum Protect server
- vCenter Server
About this task
To configure the Data Protection for VMware environment
on Linux, complete these steps:
Procedure
-
Run the installer on the Linux host.
-
Select options 2 and 3 (Data Mover and
GUI).
-
After the install completes, run the configuration wizard at this location:
https://localhost:9081/TsmVMwareUI
For ease of setup, only define one Data Mover on the GUI host. This Data Mover must be
configured manually before you can use the Web Client plug-in GUI to add or configure more data
movers.
Note: If you are performing an upgrade, and you had a working Data Mover instance prior to
the upgrade, simply restart the services. You can now use the Web Client plug-in for future
operations.
-
While completing the panels on the wizard collect the following information:
- Node names and passwords for the data mover and mount proxy pair registered.
- dsm.sys content for each Data Mover and Mount Proxy created.
-
Once the configuration wizard is completed, manually set up the Data Mover that will run on the
GUI host.
-
When the Data Mover instance is running, manually set up the Linux mount proxy instance that
will run on the GUI host.
-
When the Linux mount proxy instance is running, manually set up the Windows mount proxy
instance on a Windows host.
-
You can now use the Web Client plug-in for future operations. The legacy GUI interface can be
used when you want to change or update the default Spectrum Protect server information.

Fast path: After you successfully complete this wizard task, no additional configuration
tasks are required to back up your VM data.
