Make sure to use the IP address of the physical DR hosting the DR2000v license.
Here we will continue the registration of the DR2000v using the command line.Īt the command line, type the following. As you can see, we can register the DR2000v through the command line, but you can also register the DR2000v through its command GUI.
Completing this step allows the DR2000v to acquire the license and get activated. The last step- to register the DR2000v with an associated physical DR unit holding the DR2000v four terabyte license. At this point DR2000v has been successfully, installed, configured, and we're almost done. We'll skip ahead to the tail end of this process. This process takes three to four minutes. Next, the configuration of the DR2000v network settings takes place. Now confirm the network configuration settings. Name the DR2000v virtual appliance appropriately. Walk through the wizard to configure the necessary network values that the DR2000v will use for your environment. When logging into the DR2000v for the first time, a system setup and configuration wizard is presented.
The install process has completed.Īfter installation, log into the DR2000v using the default DR username and password. We'll quickly skip ahead to the tail end of the install process. Depending on your system resources, the next 5 to 15 minutes are needed to self-extract the installation packages and install all the DR2000v components. Now power up the DR2000v and open up its virtual machine console. We'll quickly skip ahead to the tail end of this deployment process. Review the DR2000v OVF template settings and select Finish to begin the deployment.Īt this point, the deployment process takes five to seven minutes. Select the virtual network for the DR to use. Now select the data store in virtual disk format for this deployment. Next define the DR2000v VM name for VMware and select the data center where the DR2000v template will be deployed. Now browse to the location of the DR2000v OVA package. Now choose the Deploy OVF Template command. Left mouse select using the host you wish to install the DR2000v. With the DR2000v four terabyte OVA package downloaded launch your vSphere Web Client now. You have now completed the one time licensing installation for your four terabyte DR2000v. Now browse to the DR2000v license file that was emailed to you. Under the license file location, select Choose File. Next, select a license option under the Appliance Support Management branch. With the DR2000v license that was emailed to you from Dell follow the steps for proper licensing.įirst log into the physical DR appliance that your DR2000v will register with. For any DR2000v deployment, the first step is to install a DR2000v license within an associated physical DR appliance.
Network support is required for the PlateSpin Server configuration, management, and operations.This video will demonstrate how to deploy a four terabyte DR2000v into an ESXI 5.5 environment using the vSphere Web Client. When you are prompted to enable Networks, click Yes to confirm that you want to find PCs, devices, and content on this network, and to automatically connect to devices like printers and TVs.
On the Administrator Account Settings page, set the Administrator user password as Password1, then click Finish.Ĭlick inside the console window, press Ctrl+Alt+Insert to evoke the login prompt for Windows on the VM, then log in as Administrator ( Password1) to the PlateSpin Forge Management VM. In the vSphere client, click the Console tab, then click inside the remote console window.Īt the Product Key Settings page, enter the product key. In the vSphere client, locate the Forge Management VM ( PLATESPINFORGE01), right-click the VM, then rename it to PlateSpin Forge Management VM. The VM import process should complete after approximately 15 minutes. In the Name field of the Name and Location view, enter PLATESPINFORGE01 as the name for the imported PlateSpin Forge Management VM, then click Next.įrom the Storage view, select ForgeSystem as the destination storage location, then click Next.įrom the Disk Format view, select Thick Provision Eager Zeroed, then click Next.įrom the Ready to Complete view, select Power on after deployment, then click Finish. In the Deploy OVF Template dialog, browse to the location where you downloaded the. In the vSphere Client (see Installing VMware ESXi 5.5.0 to the Appliance), click File > Deploy OVF Template. NOTE:The OVF template uses the other files from the kit to create the Forge Management VM.
