Prepare for a vSphere Recovery Agent installation

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.

For best practices in a protected VMware vSphere environment, see vSphere Recovery Agent limitations and best practices.
