and you must install the vSphere Client, which you can download from any vCenter Server. The Data Recovery
plug-in connects to the backup appliance using port 22024. If there is a firewall between the client and the
backup appliance, port 22024 must be open before Data Recovery can be managed with the vSphere Client.
The client plug-in is only approved for managing backup appliances of the same version. Ensure you have the
correct version of the plug-in for the appliance you are managing.
Procedure
1 Insert the Data Recovery installation CD.
The VMware Data Recovery Installer window appears.

5 Select Plugins > Manage Plugins and make sure that the Data Recovery plug-in is enabled.
You can now use the client plug-in to manage Data Recovery. If the Data Recovery is not registered in the
vSphere Client, restart the client.
