Install CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup

The installation wizard helps guide you through the process of installing one or more CA ARCserve Central Applications.

Note: Before you install an application, review the Release Notes file and verify that all of the tasks described in Prerequisite Tasks are complete.

To install CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup

1. Download the CA ARCserve Central Applications installation package to the computer where you want to install the application, and then double-click the Setup file.

   The installation package extracts its contents to your computer and then the Prerequisite Components dialog opens.

2. Click Install on the Prerequisites Components dialog.

   Note: The Prerequisite Components dialog opens only if Setup does not detect that the required prerequisite components are installed on your computer.

   After Setup installs the prerequisite components, the License Agreement dialog opens.

3. Complete the required options on the License Agreement dialog and click Next.

   The Configuration dialog opens.

4. On the Configuration dialog, complete the following:
   • Components--Specify the applications that you want to install.

     Note: If you are installing this application using the suite installation package, you can install multiple applications.

   • Location--Accept the default installation location or click Browse to specify an alternative installation location. The default location is as follows:

     C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Central Applications
     

   • Disk Information-- Verify that your hard drive has sufficient free disk space to install the applications.
   • Windows Administrator Name--Specify the user name of the Windows Administrator account using the following syntax:

     Domain\User Name
     

   • Password--Specify the password for the user account.
   • Specify Port Number--Specify the port number that you want to use to communicate with the web-based user interface. As a best practice, you should accept the default port number. The default port number is as follows:

     8015
     

     Note: If you want to specify an alternative port number, the available port numbers are from 1024 through 65535. Before you specify an alternative port number, verify that the specified port number is free and available for use. Setup prevents you from installing the application using a port that is not available for use.

   • Use HTTPS for web communication--Specify to use HTTPS communication for data transmission. By default, this is not selected.

     Note: HTTPS (secure) communication provides a higher level of security than HTTP communication. HTTPS is recommended communication protocol if you transmit confidential information in your network.

   • Allow Setup to register CA ARCserve Central Applications services and programs to the Windows Firewall as exceptions--Verify that the check box next to this option is selected. Firewall exceptions are required if you want to configure and manage CA ARCserve Central Applications from remote computers.

     Note: For local users, you do not need to register firewall exceptions.

   Click Next.

   After the installation process is complete, the Installation Report opens.

5. The Installation Report dialog summarizes the installation. If you want to check for updates to the application now, click Check for updates and then click Finish.

The application is installed.
