The Virtual ServerAgent requires user accounts that have sufficient permissions for the software to:
-
Access the vCenter and ESX servers.
-
Access virtual machines.
-
Access volumes, files, and folders within virtual machines.
-
Perform discovery, backup, and restore operations.
When you configure the VMware vCenter client, you must provide the user account credentials for the vCenter. Later, you can change the user account at the instance level.
For more information, see Configuration of User Accounts for VMware. For other hypervisors, follow the user account requirements that are provided when adding a virtualization client.
