Using the Engine Management Service User Interface

The Engine Management Service is the primary tool used for deployment and normal daily control of Neverfail Continuity Engine. Most routine operations can be performed from the Engine Management Service User Interface thereby providing a lightweight, easily accessible, method of conducting Neverfail Continuity Engine operations.

  1. Click the vCenter button to display the Configure Connection to VMware vCenter Server page.
  2. Enter the URL for the VMware vCenter Server, the username, and the password for a user account with the minimum privileges required by EMS to operate (see Knowledgebase article #2901 - Configuring the Minimum VMware Permissions Required to Install and Manage Neverfail IT Continuity Engine v7.1[.n] or later ), and then click Next.
