Installation Instructions

From RHEV

environment

Specify machines by connecting to a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager. Provide

the credentials of the account with the access rights on the RHEV Manager. Be sure to also

specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).

From the list of RHEV machines, select the machines you want to add.

By application

Specify machines on which certain applications are installed. Use the Servers and clusters

found filter to show the machines that have an application you need to back up.

This option is available only when adding machines to the management server. The

management server must be a member of a domain, and you can only select machines

from that domain.

Specifying credentials

For each of the machines, specify the credentials of an account with administrative privileges on that

machine. Or you can specify a universal account that has administrative privileges on all of the

machines. Enter the account credentials for one machine and click Apply to all machines.

Note. For a machine which is a domain controller in an Active Directory domain, you must specify the name of

that domain together with the user name. For example: MyDomain\Administrator

Detecting agents

Once you specify the machines to add to the management server, Acronis Backup detects the

machines on which agents are not yet installed. We recommend that you wait until the detection is

complete.

To cancel the detection, click Cancel status detection. In this case, agents will be installed only on the

machines where the detection was completed. Of the machines where the detection was canceled,

only the machines with an agent already installed will be added to the management server.

2.3.3.2 Specifying the components for remote installation

By default, the software takes the installation packages from the

folder %CommonProgramFiles%\Acronis\RemoteInstaller\<product build number>. If

the console is connected to the management server, the software will take the packages from the

machine with the management server. Otherwise, the software will take the packages from the

machine with the console.

To take the packages from a different location, click Change components source. You have the

following options:

 From the registered components. The default location.

 On removable media. The software will search for the installation packages on removable media

such as CD, DVD, BD, or USB flash drive.

 In the following location. Specify a local or network folder where you extracted the installation

packages. If prompted for credentials, specify the user name and password.

Agent for Windows and Agent for Hyper-V depend on the Agent Core component. If you want to

install these agents, the file AcronisAgentCore.msi must be present in the same location.

For more information about how to get the installation packages, refer to "Prerequisites" (p. 46).
