Using CA ARCserve D2D › Deploy CA ARCserve D2D Remotely

Deploy CA ARCserve D2D Remotely

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.

Before deploying CA ARCserve D2D remotely to other selected servers, see Remote Deployment Considerations.

Note: This task is only available from the CA ARCserve D2D UI and not from the CA ARCserve D2D Monitor.

Deploy CA ARCserve D2D remotely

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

   The Remote Deployment dialog opens.

   

2. Click Add.

   The Add dialog opens.

   

3. Enter the following information:
   1. Server name where CA ARCserve D2D will be deployed to.
   2. A valid User Name and Password to access the selected server.

      The user name should be given as <machine name>/<username>

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

      By default, the port number is 8014.

   4. Installation path on the remote server for CA ARCserve D2D.

      By default, this location is %Program Files%\CA\ARCserve D2D

   5. Specify if you want to use https as your web communication protocol.
   6. 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: During remote deployment if for any reason a reboot is not required, CA ARCserve D2D will not reboot even if you have selected automatic reboot after deployment.

   7. Specify if you want the setup to start the remote registry service automatically.
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 Remote Deployment 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.
