If you expand out the view, you’ll get details of vCenter servers/clusters and the defined datacentres. However, once you’ve got the framework in place, VMware View gives you a fantastic way of quickly and simply interacting with your VMware environment. Now, you can still do VMware policy configuration, etc., as part of the standard Policies and Groups configuration areas, and indeed you’ll need to do at least some preliminary setup via standard policy/workflow management. VMware View is in its own area, as you can see there. This lets you start tackling a VMware environment from a “big picture” point of view, and that’s what I want to run through in this blog post.įirst, let’s set the scene – you access the VMware View panel under the Protection tab in NMC: Finding VMware View in NMC But one of the real hidden gems, I think, is the VMware View section in NMC. In VMware environments, NetWorker also gives some flexibility between whether you want to use the vSphere Web UI (ideal for VMware administrators), or the above NetWorker options – GUI/NMC, CLI, CLI-scripted or REST API. More recently, the REST API was introduced, giving an additional level of interaction, ideal for private cloud or devops style environments. At one point that was simply a choice between using the GUI, doing interactive command line operations, or scripted command line operations. One of other things you’ve probably noticed, using NetWorker, is that it’s all about giving you options on how to do things. Introduced with NetWorker 9.2, the new VMware image backup system is lightweight and fast – both for backup and recovery operations. As you might have noticed in other posts, I’m a big fan of using NVP (NetWorker Virtual Proxy – also referred to as vProxy) to backup VMware virtual machines.
