Selecting a target server

If you have not done so already, launch the Protect an entire server using a Hyper-V virtual machine workflow.

Select the target Hyper-V server where the replica virtual machines will be hosted.

Enter the following information for the target server:

  1. Server—Enter or select the IP address or DNS name of the target server that will host the virtual replica machines. Or, click the Browse button to locate a server.
  1. In the Browse for server window, browse through the file tree to locate a target server.
  1. After you have found the target server, select it, then click OK.

Note:

If you enter the fully-qualified domain name for the server, the Double-Take Console will resolve the entry to the server short name. This could result in name resolution issues for servers with the same short name that reside in two different domains. To avoid this, enter the IP address of the server.
  1. User name—Enter the user name for the account that will access the target host.

Note:

The user account entered here must have administrative rights for Microsoft Hyper-V on that server, and be a member of the Double-Take Admin group.

If this is a domain user account, you may enter a fully-qualified user name. The fully-qualified user name must be in the format domain\username or username@domain.
  1. Password—Enter the password that is associated with the user account.
  2. After all fields have been completed, click Next. A window will display the progress.

Next step: Select target volume
