Managing vCloud Director Organizations

Starting with Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5, you can empower administrators of VMware infrastructure to configure vCloud Director organization settings for the vCloud Director deployed in their environment, using Enterprise Manager web interface. For that, log in to Enterprise Manager with administrative account and take the following preliminary steps:

1. Add a vCloud Director server to backup infrastructure on Veeam backup server. For more information, see the Adding VMware vCloud Director section of the Veeam Backup & Replication User Guide.
2. Add this Veeam backup server to Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager. For more information, see Managing Veeam Backup Servers.
3. Wait for scheduled data collection to complete, or run data collection from that Veeam backup server manually. For more information, see Collecting Data from Backup Servers.
4. Make sure the account that will be used to control vCloud Director organization settings is assigned the Portal Administrator role in Enterprise Manager. For more information, see Configuring Accounts and Roles.

If these prerequisites are met, the vCloud tab will be displayed in the Configuration view of the Enterprise Manager web UI.

Including a vCloud Director organization in this list (except for default organization) means that its configuration is individual, different from default. Vice versa, for all organizations that do not appear in this list, default configuration settings will be applied. See the Configuring vCloud Director Organization Settings section for details.

As Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager administrator, you can perform the following actions on this tab:

• Specify a new configuration for vCloud Director organization, applying custom settings.
• Modify the vCloud Director organization settings.
• Remove vCloud Director organization from the list of managed configurations with custom settings. After that, the default settings will be applied to this organization.
