First steps after deployment

After downloading and importing the image to the environment set the IP address:

• Edit a connection

• Select network interface, and edit its network settings.

Now you should be able to log in to the web console using the URL:

https://STORWARE_HOST

where STORWARE_HOST is the hostname or IP of your Storware Backup & Recovery Server

Increase disk size (in this example to 500G):

vdo growPhysical -n /dev/mapper/FileSystem
vdo growLogical -n /dev/mapper/FileSystem --vdoLogicalSize 500G
xfs_growfs /dev/mapper/FileSystem

Then go to Initial configuration to add virtualization hosts.

Note: Importing the image will install both the server and node. If You need only the Storware Backup & Recovery node, then You have to stop and disable Storware Backup & Recovery server service.

systemctl stop vprotect-server
systemctl disable vprotect-server

You can register nodes installed manually (RPM/Ansible) to the Storware Backup & Recovery server installed from OVA.
