at least 20 GB of space for the temporary files. If necessary, add a separate disk to the

management server's machine and create the folder on that disk. If the machine is a member

of an Active Directory domain, specify the user name in the <Domain name>\\<User name>

(note the double backslash) or <User name>@<Domain name> format.

Alternatively, you can use an export folder on an NFS server. For example, you can use the

machine with Agent for vCloud as the NFS server. To specify the export folder, use the

following format: nfs://Server/ExportPath:/PathInExportFolder (note the colon before the

final slash). For information about how to properly configure the export folder, see the

"Configuring an NFS storage" section of the Administrator's Guide.

Configuring network settings

The machine with Agent for vCloud has two network adapters: eth0 for the internal network and

eth1 for the external network.

eth0 connects to the internal network where Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud components

communicate with VMware vCloud components. It also accepts incoming connections from SSH

clients and web browsers in the internal network.

eth1 accepts incoming connections from web browsers in the external network. Make sure that your

firewall, NAT router, and other components of the network security system allow external

connection to this adapter through ports 80 and 443.

By default, both adapters take network settings from a DHCP server. You can assign a static IP

address to an adapter. For example, to ease port forwarding, you may want to assign a static IP

address to the external adapter.

To change Agent for vCloud network settings

1. Run the configure.sh command and choose the Change network settings scenario.

2. Specify network settings for the eth0 adapter.

 To take the network settings from a DHCP server, press y.

 To specify the network settings with a static IP address, press n, and then:

a. Specify the static IP address for the adapter, such as: 192.168.0.10

b. Specify the subnet mask for the adapter, such as: 255.255.0.0

c. Specify the IP address of the default gateway for the adapter, such as: 192.168.0.1

3. Specify network settings for the eth1 adapter.

 To take the network settings from a DHCP server, press y.

 To specify the network settings with a static IP address, press n, and then:

a. Specify the static IP address for the adapter, such as 10.0.0.10

b. Specify the subnet mask for the adapter, such as: 255.0.0.0

The command does not prompt for the default gateway, because the adapter is used only for

incoming connections.

4. If you configured both adapters to use static IP addresses, specify the following:

a. In DNS server 1, specify the IP address of the DNS server.

b. [Optional] In DNS server 2, specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server.

The DNS server settings apply to both adapters.

If one of the adapters uses a DHCP server, the DNS server settings for both adapters are taken

from that DHCP server.
