Registering and activating the proxy with the Avamar server

Register and activate each proxy deployed in vCenter with the Avamar server.

1. From the vSphere client, locate and select an Avamar image backup proxy.
2. Right-click Power > Power On.
3. Right-clickOpen Console.
   A console window appears.
4. From the Main Menu, type 1, and then press Enter.
5. Type the Avamar server DNS name, and then press Enter.
6. Type an Avamar server domain name, and then press Enter.
   The default domain is “clients.” However, your Avamar system administrator may have defined other domains, and subdomains. Consult your Avamar system administrator for the domain you should use when registering this client.
   NOTE:If typing a subdomain (for example, clients/MyClients), do not include a slash (/) as the first character. Including a slash as the first character will cause an error, and prevent you from registering this client.
7. From the Main Menu, type 2, and then press Enter to quit.
8. (optional) If proxy certificate authentication is required, see Configure vCenter-to-Avamar authentication
