Install CA ARCserve D2D Using Remote Deployment

After CA ARCserve D2D is installed on a server, you can then deploy it remotely to other selected servers using the CA ARCserve D2D UI. When CA ARCserve D2D is deployed remotely you get all the files and folders you would get if you deployed it locally without having to visit the remote system.

Follow these steps:

1. From the CA ARCserve D2D home page, select Deploy.

   The Deploy dialog opens.

   

2. Click Add.

   The Add dialog opens.

   

3. Enter the following information:
   1. The server name where you want to deploy CA ARCserve D2D.
   2. A valid User Name and Password to access the selected server.

      The user name should be in the format of "<machinename>\<accountname>" or "<domainname>\<accountname>". If you enter just "<accountname>", CA ARCserve D2D assumes that it is the local machine and not a domain machine.

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

      Default Value: 8014.

   4. Specify the Install path on the remote server for CA ARCserve D2D.

      Default Location: %Program Files%\CA\ARCserve D2D.

   5. Specify if you want to use https as your web communication protocol.
   6. Specify if you want the setup to start the remote registry service automatically.
   7. Specify if you want the required reboot to be performed automatically upon completion of the deployment process or if you want to reboot manually at a later time.

      A system reboot is required (now or later) for the remote deployment of CA ARCserve D2D to take effect.

      Note: If you are deploying the current version of CA ARCserve D2D on a server which already has CA ARCserve D2D on it, a reboot is not required. CA ARCserve D2D will not reboot even if you have selected automatic reboot after deployment.

4. Click OK to close the Add dialog.

   After you click OK, the deploy tool checks whether the remote machine can be accessed with no problems. If no error is reported, then the server is automatically added to the remote deployment list. If an error is reported, you are notified of the appropriate error and the server is not added to the remote deployment list.

   

   The Deploy dialog lists all related information for the added server.

5. Select the server for remote deployment and click Deploy Now to launch the remote deployment process.

   A status message is displayed indicating if the remote deployment was successful or not. When the remote deployment is successful, you can access CA ARCserve D2D from that remote server; however, you can only perform backups on servers that are properly licensed.

   In addition the name of the remotely deployed server is now added to the Server drop-down list on the CA ARCserve D2D home page, which lets you quickly and easily manage or view the status of these servers.
