Table 8. Machine connection settings
Text Box Description
Host The host name or IP address of the machine that you want to protect.
Port The port number on which the Rapid Recovery Core communicates with the
Agent on the machine.
The default port number is 8006.
User name The user name used to connect to this machine; for example, Administrator (or, if
the machine is in a domain, [domain name]\Administrator).
Password The password used to connect to this machine.
If the Install Agent page appears next in the Protect Machine Wizard, that means that Rapid Recovery
does not detect the Rapid Recovery Agent on the machine and will install the current version of the
software. Go to Step 7.
If the Upgrade Agent page appears next in the wizard, that means that an older version of the Agent
software exists on the machine you want to protect.
NOTE: The Agent software must be installed on the machine you want to protect, and that
machine must be restarted, before it can back up to the Core. To have the installer reboot the
protected machine, select the option After installation, restart the machine automatically
(recommended) before clicking Next.
5. On the Upgrade Agent page, do one of the following:
• To deploy the new version of the Agent software (matching the version for the Rapid Recovery
Core), select Upgrade the Agent to the latest version of the software.
• To continue protecting the machine without updating the Agent software version, clear the
option Upgrade the Agent to the latest version of the software.
6. Click Next.
7. Optionally, on the Protection page, if you want a name other than the IP address to display in the
Rapid Recovery Core console for this protected machine, then in the Display Name field, type a
name in the dialog box.
You can enter up to 64 characters. Do not use the special characters described in the topic
"Prohibited characters" in the Rapid Recovery on DL Appliances User's Guide. Additionally, do not
begin the display name with any of the character combinations described in the topic prohibited
phrases in the Rapid Recovery on DL Appliances User's Guide.
8. Select the appropriate protection schedule as described below:
• To use the default protection schedule, in the Schedule Settings option, select Default
protection.
With a default protection schedule, the Core will take snapshots of all volumes on the protected
machine once every hour. To change the protection settings at any time after you close the wizard,
including choosing which volumes to protect, go to the Summary page for the specific protected
machine.
• To define a different protection schedule, in the Schedule Settings option, select Custom
protection.
9. Proceed with your configuration as follows:
• If you selected a Typical configuration for the Protect Machine Wizard and specified default
protection, then click Finish to confirm your choices, close the wizard, and protect the machine
you specified.
