Before installing a vSphere Recovery Agent, you must do the following:
• Obtain a Portal account for managing the Agent. See Portal for managing a vSphere Recovery Agent.
• Determine the destination vaults for vSphere backups. See Vaults for vSphere Recovery Agent backups.
• Determine where to install the Agent. See Recommended vSphere Recovery Agent deployment.
If you are upgrading a protected vSphere environment to version 6.5, you must plan how to upgrade the environment and install the vSphere Recovery Agent. See Plan a VMware vSphere environment upgrade.
