In the recovery platform dropdown, select "VMware vCenter Server", and prepare the relevant environment according to the page prompts:

• Prepare Environment Description

  • Step 1:

    • Obtain the required host image resources according to the page guidance.

  • Step 2:

    • Use the sync proxy image OVA file (proxy-agent_BaseOS.ova) to deploy a virtual machine in the VMware cluster, and configure an IP address for it, ensuring the virtual machine can access the console.
    • Use the transition host image OVA file (Livecd-HyperDoor.ova) to deploy a virtual machine on the VMware cluster.

    The virtual machine name must start with TRANSITION_HOST_IMAGE as a prefix, for example: TRANSITION_HOST_IMAGE_20251205.

  • Step 3:

    • Log in to the virtual machine deployed by the sync proxy image (Livecd-HyperDoor.ova).

    Log in to the virtual machine deployed via the OVA template (default username is root, default password is Acb@132.Inst).

    • Copy the installation command provided on the page and execute it on the host.
