How the Agent Supports the Preflight Check Utility
The preflight check (PFC) utility lets you run vital checks on the CA ARCserve
Backup server and agents to detect conditions that may cause backup jobs to
fail.
For Agent for VMware backups, the PFC utility checks the status of the Client
Agent for Windows that is running on the backup proxy system. The PFC does
not check the status of the VMs that you specified for the backup on the ESX
Server system or the VirtualCenter Server system.
Note:
For more information about using the PFC utility, see the
Administration
Guide
.
The PFC utility performs the following checks on VMware ESX Server backups
under the following scenarios:
■
A backup job is submitted using the agent. The Client Agent for Windows
is running on the VCB proxy system.
The following message displays:
Note: The target node <VCB Proxy System’s Name/IP> is a VMware VCB Proxy System. PFC only verifies
the status of Client Agent on the VMware VCB Proxy Server. It will not check the status of Virtual Machines
which you have selected for backup on the VMware ESX Server.
■
A backup job is submitted using the agent. The Client Agent for Windows
is not running on the VCB proxy system.
The following message displays:
Issues: Failed to connect to the client agent on <VCB Proxy System’s Name/IP>. Ensure that the client
agent on <VCB Proxy System’s Name/IP> is running.
Note: The target node <VCB Proxy System’s Name/IP> is a VMware VCB Proxy System. PFC only verifies
the status of Client Agent on the VMware VCB Proxy Server. It will not check the status of Virtual Machines
which you have selected for backup on the VMware ESX Server.
