Selective protection: VCF Image-based components

This procedure protects all of the image-based VCF components, while providing more control over the backup settings used for them than quick protection. The components protected include vRSLCM, VxRail Manager, Workspace ONE Access, and vRealize Suite virtual machines. To protect file-based VCF components, refer to the other selective-protection procedures.

1. From a Avamar command line, type the following two commands:

   cd /usr/local/avamar/bin

   ./avamar-vcf-component-protection.sh

2. Enter credentials for Avamar server.
3. Enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the SDDC Manager server, and then enter credentials for the SDDC Manager server.
4. From the backup-script main menu, enter 2, and then 3.
5. Select an image-based VCF component type to protect.
   NOTE:You can only select a single component type. To protect more than one component, follow the selective protection steps for each component.
   • If you select vRSLCM, select a discovered vRSLCM server to protect.
   • If you select any other component type, enter the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server to protect.
6. Protect the image-based VCF component by selecting a Virtual Machine protection policy.
