Install CA ARCserve D2D

This section describes how to install CA ARCserve D2D on your local system using the InstallShield Wizard. The InstallShield Wizard is an interactive application that guides you through the installation process.

To install CA ARCserve D2D

1. Access the CA ARCserve D2D installation package from either the CA web site or the product CD. Select the CA ARCserve D2D Setup.exe if you are using installation package downloaded from the CA web site. Select setup.exe if you are using the product CD.

   Note: If the installation is performed using web downloaded installation package, the contents of the package are extracted to your local system.

   The License Agreement dialog opens.

2. On the License Agreement dialog, read and accept the terms of the Licensing Agreement and click Next.

   The Configuration dialog opens.

3. Enter the following information on the Configuration dialog:
   1. Username and password.
   2. Specify or browse to the location where CA ARCserve D2D is to be installed.

      The default location is: C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Central Applications.

      Note: During CA ARCserve D2D installation, some files will not be installed at the default location. For a complete listing of these files, see Files Installed Outside the Default Location.

   3. Port number. This port number is used to connect to the web-based UI.

      The default port number is: 8014.

      Note: The available port numbers for CA ARCserve D2D installation are between 1024 and 65535. You should ensure that the specified port number is free and available for use. Setup will not let you install CA ARCserve D2D for a port that is not available for use.

   4. Specify if you want to use https for web communication.

      By default, CA ARCserve D2D uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for communication among all of its components. If you are concerned about the security of information communicated between these components (including passwords), you can select this option to change the protocol being used to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

      Note: You can change the communication protocol at any time after installation. For more information, see Change Server Communication Protocol.

   5. Specify if you want to install the CA ARCserve D2D change tracking driver.

      By default, this option is selected.

      • Without this driver installed, CA ARCserve D2D cannot perform a local backup.
      • With this driver installed, you would still need to have a valid CA ARCserve D2D license to perform a local backup.

      Note: You can install this driver at any time after the installation is complete by running the ‘InstallDriver.bat’ utility from the following location: "<ARCserve Central Applications install folder>\BIN\DRIVER"

   6. Specify if you want to allow setup to register CA ARCserve D2D services and programs to Windows Firewall as exceptions.

      Note: Firewall exceptions are required if you want to configure and manage CA ARCserve D2D from remote machines. (For local users, you do not need to register firewall exceptions).

4. Click Install to launch the installation process.

   The Installation Progress screen is displayed indicating the status of the installation.

5. When the installation is complete, the Installation Report summary screen is displayed and automatically performs the product configuration. Click Finish.

   An alert message is displayed, informing you that a system restart is required and asking if you want to reboot at this time or at a later time.

   When the reboot is finished, CA ARCserve D2D is installed on your local system.

6. After installation, CA ARCserve D2D can be accessed from either the Start menu or from the CA ARCserve D2D Monitor.
7. After installation is complete, you may want to use the CA ARCserve D2D Boot Kit utility to create a BMR application USB stick if you are planning to use the created USB stick along with Windows 7/2008/2008 R2 installation media (CD/DVD) for BMR.

   When performing BMR, you will have a choice of using a Windows PE image (which is provided with the CA ARCserve D2D product) or the created USB stick along with the Windows 7/2008/2008 R2 installation media. The Boot Kit utility will also help you integrate BMR applications and third party NIC/SCSI/FC drivers to a USB stick.
