Perform the following steps in the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI to configure and deploy the
reporting engine.
Prerequisites
You must deploy the
reporting engine on a separate virtual machine.
The vCenter server must be added as an asset source from
Infrastructure > Asset Sources.
The virtual machine requires 500 GB to function properly.
About this task
It is recommended that you deploy the
reporting engine to the vCenter server that hosts
PowerProtect Data Manager. To verify the hosting vCenter:
Click the
Settings > Hosting vCenter link.
Provide the details for the vCenter server that hosts
PowerProtect Data Manager or select the hosting vCenter server from asset sources.
Steps
From the
PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select

The
Configure Reporting Engine dialog box opens.
In the
Configure Reporting Engine dialog box, complete the required fields:
vCenter server to deploy—Specify the vCenter server on which to deploy the
