5.2 Manual deployment

5.2.1 Configuring the endpoint

To work with the application programming interface (API) of the backup service, the APS package

uses a machine called an endpoint, also known as a provisioning host. Before deploying the APS

package, you must configure the endpoint for it.

The endpoint must be a machine running an RPM-based Linux distribution (such as CentOS) that has

the Apache web server and PHP installed.

Note The following procedures involve restarting the endpoint's web server. Internet connection may be

required for downloading additional Linux packages.

Note The APS application uses Operations Automation Public API. Thus, the endpoint should be allowed to

connect Operations Automation Public API service.

To allow endpoint to connect Operations Automation Public API

1. Log on to the provider control panel
