Configuring Off-Host Hyper-V Proxy Service

Off-Host Hyper-V configuration allows VSquare backup to control several Hyper-V Hosts without requiring a direct installation on each host. Having multiple Hyper-V hosts managed by a single VSquare instance can greatly consolidation of backup storage and schedule.

To setup the Off-Host proxy on the selected host, use the installation package you can fin in the Downloads section of your VSquare online account. Once the setup has been completed, you should find a VSquare Operations Proxy Service installed in the list of available services. To use the default configuration, just start the service.

By default, the service listener will bind on all addresses and on port 31113. You can change this setting by providing an application config file:

• Stop the VSquare Operations Proxy Service service if it is running


• Create a new text file in the proxy folder and name it VSquareProxyService.exe.config


• Open the text file with a text editor and add the following text:
  
  

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <configuration>
    <appSettings>
      <add key="BindingAddress" value="http://0.0.0.0:31113"/>
    </appSettings>
  </configuration>



• Change the binding address value with the desired binding and save the file


• Start the VSquare Operations Proxy Service service again

After this change you will need to reconfigure also you host connection on the VSquare Client.
