After you add a VMware vCenter server, you can modify its settings to update access, performance, or connectivity.
Go to the hypervisor
-
From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Protect > Virtual machines.
-
On the Hypervisor tab, click the hypervisor.
Configure VMware vSphere-specific settings
These settings are used in specific scenarios and aren’t required for most environments.
-
Credentials for VMware services: Add or update service credentials for VMware services such as NSX when you need to back up and restore NSX tags on VMware vCenter VMs.
-
Node for guest file restores of Linux VMs: Select a Linux access node to use for restoring files from Linux VMs. To deploy a Linux access node, see Deploy a Linux access node for VMware vSphere.
-
SSL/TLS management: If certificate validation succeeds when you create the hypervisor but the certificate later expires, backup and restore operations fail. To restore connectivity, either disable validation or add the current certificate thumbprint.
After you add the current certificate thumbprint, re-establish connection with hypervisor to continue the backup and restore operations. Click the Edit button in the SSL/TLS management area, and then click Re-establish Connection.
