Virtual Server Instance Properties (Proxies)

Use this dialog to add or remove Virtual Server Agent (VSA) proxies for the Red Hat client.

Proxies:

• Add

  Click Add to add proxies to the client. You can add any computer as a proxy if it has the Virtual Server Agent installed. You must add at least one proxy to the client.

• Remove

  Select a proxy from the list of proxies and click Remove to remove the selected proxies from the virtualization client.

• or

  Select a proxy in the list and click the up arrow or down arrow to change the order of proxies in the list.

Clients / Client Groups

Displays the list of clients or client groups that are included as proxies in the client.

The first proxy in the list acts as a coordinator. During a backup, the coordinator communicates with the available proxies and distributes the backups for virtual machines across proxies for load balancing. It also distributes required resources (such as streams) among the proxies.

If a client group is added in the list of proxies, the first client in the client group becomes the coordinator.
