Virtual Server Agent (VSA) proxies are used to perform backup and restore operations. Any machine where the VSA is installed can act as a VSA proxy. Different proxies are used for different hypervisors.
By default, the first available proxy listed for a hypervisor acts as a coordinator for jobs, distributing operations to any other proxies that are available for the hypervisor.
You can add or remove proxies for a hypervisor, or change the order in which proxies are listed. All VM groups for a hypervisor use the proxies for the hypervisor.
Note
If you select a new Hyper-V node as a proxy for a hypervisor, the Command Center initiates a remote install to push the Virtual Server Agent, MediaAgent, and VSS provider to the new node.
