4.1. Deploying the management node

  1. To register the management node and initialize its admin panel, run the following as the root user:

    # echo '<passwd>' | /usr/libexec/vstorage-ui-backend/bin/configure-backend.sh \
-i <int_net> -x <ext_net>
# systemctl start vstorage-ui-backend
# systemctl start vstorage-ui-agent
# /usr/libexec/vstorage-ui-agent/bin/register-storage-node.sh -m <mn_IP>

    Where <passwd> is the desired administrator password; <int_net> is the internal (private) network interface; <ext_net> is the external (public) network interface; <mn_IP> is the management node IP address.

  2. Reboot the virtual machine. The admin panel IP address will be shown in the terminal’s welcome prompt. Now you can log in to the admin panel on port 8888. Use the admin user name and the management node’s root password that you provided in the previous step.

    In the admin panel, you will see the node you have deployed on the Infrastructure > Nodes screen. Its status will be Unassigned.

  3. On the Infrastructure > Networks screen, click Edit. Make the Compute API traffic type available for the public network, and then click Save.

Now you need to create the storage cluster. Do the following:

  1. Open the Infrastructure > Nodes screen, and then click Create storage cluster.
  2. (Optional) To configure the disk roles or node location, click the cogwheel icon.
  3. Type a name for the cluster. It may only contain Latin letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and hyphens (“-“).
  4. Enable encryption, if required.
  5. Click Create.

The storage cluster is ready. You can now proceed to deploying secondary nodes if required by your scenario. If you only need a single node for the backup gateway, proceed to Adding locations to Acronis Cyber Backup or Acronis Cyber Backup Cloud.
