Install Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) Using the Installation Wizard

This section describes how you can install Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) on your local system using the Installation wizard. The Installation wizard is an interactive application that guides you through the installation process.

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) installation package (arcserve_Unified_Data_Protection_Agent_Windows.exe) from either the Arcserve website or the product CD.

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

   Note: If one of the supported non-English operating systems is detected, you will be required to select the language for the product installation.

   The License Agreement dialog opens.

2. Read and accept the terms of the Licensing Agreement on the License Agreement dialog and click Next.

   The Installation Type dialog opens.

3. Select Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Agent from the available components to install.

   The Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Agent installs only the Arcserve UDP Agent.

   For instructions on how to install Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Full, see Install Arcserve UDP Using the Setup Wizard in the Solutions Guide.

   The Arcserve Unified Data Protection - Full installs Arcserve UDP Console, Recovery Point Server, and Agent.

4. Specify if you want to install the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) change tracking driver and click Next.

   By default, this option is selected.

   • Without this driver installed, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) cannot perform a local backup.
   • With this driver installed, you would still need to have a valid Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) license to perform a local backup.
   • This driver is not required if this agent is used as Virtual Standby monitor or host-based VM backup proxy server.

   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 Agent install folder>\Engine\BIN\DRIVER

   The Destination Folder dialog opens.

5. Specify or browse to the location where you want to install Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) and click Next.

   Default location: C:\Program Files\Arcserve\Unified Data Protection\

   Note: During Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) installation, some files will not be installed at the default location. For a complete listing of these files, see Installation of Files Outside the Default Location.

   The Configuration dialog opens.

6. Enter the following information in the Configuration dialog:
   1. Specify if you want to use HTTP or HTTPS for web communication.

      Note: You can change the communication protocol at any time after installation. If you are concerned about the security of information that is communicated between these components including passwords, you can select this option to change the protocol being used to Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). To use the SSL protocol for a hostname that contains an underscore (_) character, you must manually run the following batch file before using Arcserve UDP Agent or Console:

      Arcserve UDP Agent: INSTALLDIR \Management\BIN\changeToHttps.bat

      Arcserve UDP Console: INSTALLDIR \Management\BIN\changeToHttps.bat

   2. Specify the Agent port number. This port number is used to connect to the web-based UI.

      Default Value: 8014.

      Note: The available port numbers for Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) installation are between 1024 and 65535. You should verify that the specified port number is free and available for use. Setup will not let you install Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) for a port that is not available for use.

   3. Type the Windows Administrator Name and Password.
   4. Specify if you want to display the Arcserve UDP Agent monitor for all users or only the current user.
7. Click Next.

   The Firewall Exceptions dialog opens. It lists the services and programs to be registered to Windows Firewall as exceptions for Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows).

   Note: Firewall exceptions are required if you want to configure and manage Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) from remote machines.

8. Click Install to launch the installation process.

   The Installation Progress dialog is displayed indicating the status of the installation. When the installation is complete, the Installation Report summary dialog is displayed and automatically performs the product configuration.

9. (Optional) Select the Check for an update immediately checkbox, to check if there are any product updates since the last release.

   This option is checked by default.

10. (Optional) You can also install the Arcserve UDP Agent for Linux by clicking on the link provided and following the download instructions.
11. Click Finish.

    When checking for updates, the Check for Updates dialog opens where you can download the updates from the Arcserve server or the staging server.

12. Click Download and Install Updates.
13. Click Finish.

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

    When the reboot is finished, Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) is installed on your local system.

    Note: You can access Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) from either the Start menu or from the Arcserve UDP Agent (Windows) Monitor.

    After the installation is complete, as a best practice, create a BMR ISO image using the Create Boot Kit utility. For more information about the BMR ISO image, see How to Create a Boot Kit.
