Each vCenter being accessed by Protector requires a “VMware Node” to be created. It is this Application node that will be added to data flows used to backup the vCenter, and it is also this node that is used when restoring or cloning Virtual Machines to that vCenter.
It is important that the following prerequisites are met before you attempt to implement any of the VMware data protection policies described in this guide.
