4. Deploying Acronis Cyber Infrastructure in Virtual Machines

When the virtual machine is started, do the following:

  1. Log in as storage-user using the default password (which is password). You will be prompted to change the password at once. For example:

    You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
WARNING: Your password has expired.
You must change your password now and login again!
Changing password for user storage-user.
Changing password for storage-user.
(current) UNIX password:
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

    In (current) UNIX password type password; in New password and Retype new password type a new password. The password will be changed both for storage-user and the root user.

  2. Log in as storage-user again using the new password and switch to the root user:

    $ sudo su

  3. Configure and enable the eth1 network interface:

    # cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 << EOF
ARPCHECK="no"
BOOTPROTO="static"
IPADDR=192.168.1.<node>
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
DEVICE="eth1"
IPV6INIT="yes"
IPV6_AUTOCONF="yes"
NAME="eth1"
ONBOOT="yes"
EOF
# ifup eth1

    Where <node> is the node number: 2 for the management node, 3 for the first secondary node, and so on.

  4. Check that the IP address has been assigned, and the interface is up, e.g., with ip -4 a show eth1.

Further configuration varies depending on the node role. You will need to deploy a single management node and may also want to deploy two or four secondary nodes.
