Understanding the Rapid Recovery Core Console

This section describes the different elements of the Rapid Recovery Core Console user interface (UI).

Accessing the Rapid Recovery Core Console

Complete the following steps to access the Rapid Recovery Core Console.

● Perform one of the following to access the Rapid Recovery Core Console:

1. Log in locally to your Rapid Recovery Core server, and then double click the Core Console icon.

2. Or, type one of the following URLs in your web browser:

○ https://<yourCoreServerName>:8006/apprecovery/admin/ or

○ https://<yourCoreServerIPaddress>:8006/apprecovery/admin/

NOTE:

Because the Rapid Recovery Core Console UI depends JavaScript, the web browser you use to access the

Core Console must have JavaScript enabled.

If you have changed the default port for the Rapid Recovery service, update the port in the preceding URL

accordingly.

Understanding the Quick Start Guide

The Quick Start Guide is a feature that provides you with a guided flow of suggested tasks for configuring and using Rapid

Recovery Core.

The Quick Start Guide appears automatically the first time you upgrade to or install the Rapid Recovery Core and navigate to

the Core Console. Click Start Guide on the Welcome page of the guide to see the various suggested configuration tasks.

Navigate through the guide using the Skip Step and Back options. When you have seen the last suggested task, click Finish to

close the guide.

You can launch the Quick Start Guide again at any time from the Help menu in the Core Console. You can also choose to hide

the Welcome page in the Quick Start Guide.

Unless you hide it, the Quick Start Guide reappears each time you log in to the Rapid Recovery Core Console and access the

Home page. For more information, see Hiding the Quick Start Guide on page 22.

You are not required to perform the steps suggested by the guide. You can simply view the suggested tasks, navigating through

them using the Skip Step and Back options. Optionally, to hide the guide at any point, click Exit Guide.
