Step 3. Specify VM Configuration

At the Virtual Machine step of the wizard, do the following:

1. Click Choose next to the Cluster field, and specify a cluster where the backup appliance will be deployed in the Select Cluster window.

For a cluster to be displayed in the list of the available clusters, it must be added to the virtual environment as described in Red Hat Virtualization documentation or Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager documentation.

2. In the Name field, specify a hostname (without domain name) that will be assigned to the backup appliance.

The maximum length of the hostname is 64 characters. The hyphen-minus character (-) is supported, but you cannot use it as the first or the last character of the name.

3. Click Choose next to the Storage Domain field, and specify a storage domain where backup appliance system files will be stored in the Select Storage Domain window.

For a domain to be displayed in the list of the available domains, it must be configured in the virtual environment as described in Red Hat Virtualization documentation or Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager documentation.

4. In the Appliance description field, provide a description for future reference. The field already contains a default description with information about the user who added the appliance, date and time when the appliance was added.
5. In the Max concurrent tasks field, specify the number of tasks that the embedded worker will be able to handle in parallel. If this value is exceeded, the backup appliance will not start processing a new task until one of the currently running tasks finishes.

The default number of concurrent tasks is set to 4. When you change this value, the wizard automatically adjusts the amount of resources that will be allocated to the VM running as the backup appliance. If you want to specify the amount of resources manually, click Advanced. In the advanced settings, you can also enable warnings that will be added to backup job sessions when CPU or RAM consumption breaks the thresholds you specify.
