How to finalize the configuration of the DR Appliance in the Hybrid Cloud
Introduction
Once a DR (Disaster Recovery) Appliance has been provision for a DR Run, it is necessary to walk through the QuickStart wizard to finalize the configuration of the DR Appliance in the Hybrid Cloud. Once these steps have been completed, you will be able to access the DR Appliance without a VPN connection.
This article is a step-by-step guide on how to walk through the QuickStart wizard on the DR Appliance in the Hybrid Cloud.
Prerequisites
- An established connection to a DR Appliance in the Hybrid Cloud via a VPN.
- The QuickStart password that was generated during the initialization of the DR Run.
Instructions
1) Using a web browser, connect to the DR appliance via its VPN IP address.
By default, DR Appliance Management Console will be using 192.168.100.1 IP Address.
2) Login to the DR Appliance Management Console using the admin username and the password that was noted during the initial DR Run setup on the Infrascale Dashboard.
3) Register the DR Appliance. Enter your Infrascale Dashboard credentials.
Select Cloud Region. It should be registered in the same region, as your primary appliance.
Verify the credentials and the selected cloud region. Click Register to proceed.
4) Update the Time Zone if needed and click Next.
5) Setup a new password for the DR Appliance and click Next. Update your records with the new password.
This password will be required to access the DR Appliance via VPN or SSH connection in the future.
6) Specify the Host Name and Domain Name for the DR Appliance. Click Next.
7) Review the DR LAN (Disaster Recovery Local Area Network) settings for the DR Appliance. Click Next.
8) Replication is not configured on a deployed DR Appliance, so this message is expected. Click Next.
9) Enter an email address for reports and notifications. Click Next.
10) Click on Apply and Reboot to finalize the configuration of the DR Appliance. It will be applied upon reboot.
Once the appliance has been rebooted, you will be able to access it via Manage DR Appliance on the Infrascale Dashboard. It will be accessible without the VPN.
If the DR Appliance is still rebooting, you will see an error message Error getting browse URL. If you receive this message, please close the page and try again in 5-10 minutes.
