add host

[jamerson]

hi guys,
in one of my clients we can't add the host using the root account,
i've notice on Version 7 the installation create a root account.
is there is a work arround for this ?
the only possibility is install version 6 add the host and update to version 7.

PS SSH is off on the host. never needed to enable this to add the host on version 6

thank you

Julien, could you please elaborate on the issue a bit? Are you trying to add an ESXi host to the Veeam B&R console and get some kind of error? What kind of credentials are you using to add it?

Can you connect to this host via vSphere Client using the same account?

[jamerson]

yes i can connect with the same account.
even i can ping the host from that machine and reach the management site

I suggest contacting technical support so they could verify whether you're doing everything right.

normaly how do you add the host on V7 ?

Actually, the same way you used to do this in v6.

SSH is not required to add ESXi host to the backup console.

i tried to add it the same, but it won't allow me to.

Nothing has changed between these versions, so please let our support team assist you with this task via WebEx session.
