You can create both static and dynamic groups of virtual machines. Any virtual machine that is
currently available can be added to a static group. You cannot create groups that contain both
physical and virtual machines.
The dynamic membership criteria for virtual machines are as follows:
Virtualization server type (Hyper-V, ESX/ESXi).
Using this criterion, you can create a dynamic group of virtual machines hosted on all registered
Hyper-V (or ESX/ESXi, respectively) servers. Any machine added to the servers will appear in this
group. Any machine deleted from the servers will disappear from this group.
Host/VA
Using this criterion, you can create a dynamic group of virtual machines hosted on a specified
virtualization server or managed by the specified virtual appliance.
7.1.4.2 VMware vCenter integration
If you are using VMware vSphere, it is recommended that you integrate the management server with
your vCenter Server.
To integrate the management server with a VMware vCenter Server:
1. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines and select VMware vCenter Integration
2. Click Configure integration
3. Select the Enable VMware vCenter integration check box
4. Specify the vCenter Server's IP address or name and provide access credentials for the server
5. Click OK
As a result, a group that has the same name as the vCenter Server appears on the management
server under Virtual machines. For more information, please refer to "VMware vCenter integration
(p. 85)."
To remove integration with a VMware vCenter Server:
1. In the Navigation tree, right click Virtual machines and select VMware vCenter Integration
2. Click Configure integration
3. Clear the Enable VMware vCenter integration check box
4. Click OK
The group that has the same name as the vCenter Server will be removed and the policies applied to
this group or its child groups will be revoked.
Virtual machines remain in the All virtual machines group and in other groups if their host is
managed by Agent for ESX/ESXi. Policies applied to these groups or directly to the machines continue
functioning on the machines. This way, by removing the integration you remove only the machines
that are not manageable.
7.1.4.3 Deploying and updating Agent for ESX/ESXi
Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Server provides an easy way to deploy Agent for
ESX/ESXi to every VMware ESX or ESXi server whose virtual machines you want to back up.
A virtual appliance with an agent will be created on every ESX/ESXi server you specify and registered
on the management server. Virtual machines, dynamically grouped by their hosts, will appear on the
