Protecting A Machine - Dell DL1000 Deployment Manual

To enter all kernel modules, enter all and press Enter.
8. After configuring the newly installed Agent software, restart the machine. Restarting ensures that the
proper kernel driver version is used to protect your machine.
After completing this process, the local repository has been configured on this Linux machine. The Agent
software is installed and the kernel module is loaded.
Your next step is to protect the machine on the Rapid Recovery Core.

Protecting a machine

If you have already installed the Rapid Recovery Agent software on the machine you want to protect, but
have not restarted it yet, restart the machine now.
This topic describes how to start protecting the data on a single machine that you specify using the
Protect Machine Wizard.
When you add protection, you need to define connection information such as the IP address and port,
and provide credentials for the machine you want to protect. Optionally, you can provide a display name
to appear in the Core Console instead of the IP address. If you change this, you will not see the IP address
for the protected machine when you view details in the Core Console. You will also define the protection
schedule for the machine.
The workflow of the protection wizard may differ slightly based on your environment. For example, if the
Rapid Recovery Agent software is installed on the machine you want to protect, you will not be prompted
to install it from the wizard. Likewise, if a repository already exists on the Core, you will not be prompted
to create one.
1. Do one of the following:
• If you are starting from the Protect Machine Wizard, proceed to Step 2.
• If you are starting from the Rapid Recovery Core Console, from the button bar, click Protect.
The Protect Machine Wizard appears.
2. On the Welcome page, select the appropriate installation options:
• If you do not need to define a repository or establish encryption, select Typical.
• If you need to create a repository, or define a different repository for backups for the selected
machine, or if you want to establish encryption using the wizard, select Advanced (show optional
steps).
• Optionally, if you do not wish to see the Welcome page for the Protect Machine Wizard in the
future, select the option Skip this Welcome page the next time the wizard opens.
3. When you are satisfied with your choices on the Welcome page, then click Next.
The Connection page appears.
4. On the Connection page, enter the information about the machine to which you want to connect as
described in the following table, and then click Next.
