Adding a Secure Storage server

To add a Secure Storage server it is recommended to install the agent manually. This method saves the agent installation package to the local machine. You must transfer the package manually to the Secure Storage server. This reduces the likelihood of any malware infecting your Secure Storage server by being exposed to your network before the server is secured. Your Secure Storage server is only secured after the Storage Agent has been installed and the Secure Storage server is hardened.

To add a Secure Storage server using manual method (Recommended)

  1. In the Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) console, expand the Storage node and click the Secure Storage node.

  2. In the Secure Storage Servers pane, click Add Server.

  3. Type the DNS name or IP address of the server you want to use as your secure storage server.

  4. In the Agent port field, type port number or use default port of 48001.

    NOTE: Ports cannot be changed after the Secure Storage server is added. To change the port after the Secure Storage server is added, it must be removed and added again.

  5. From the Agent installation method drop-down list, select Manual (recommended).

  6. Type the path or browse to path to Save agent setup package to.

  7. Click OK. The agent setup package is saved to your local machine.

  8. Copy the package, SecureStorageAgent.zip, to the server being configured as your Secure Storage server. This requires console (physical) access to the Secure Storage server.

  9. Extract the installation package on the Secure Storage server and double-click the SecureStorageAgent.msi file to install the agent.

  10. A warning will be displayed and requires confirmation to proceed. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: This server is about to be hardened and all network connections to this server will be lost including Remote Desktop. Ensure you have physical access to this server and have an available method to access such as console access or serial access. Select YES to acknowledge you understand and are prepared for the Secure Storage server to be installed and hardened. Recovery Manager for Active Directory cannot undo this operation without physical access to the server.

    NOTE: For quiet installation both the /qn switch and FORCE=true can be specified when launching the msi file from the command line.

  11. The Storage Agent is installed and the server is hardened automatically. For more information on hardening, see Hardening a Secure Storage server above.

To add a Secure Storage server using automatic method

  1. In the RMAD console, click the Secure Storage node.

  2. In the Secure Storage Servers pane, click Add Server.

NOTE

A warning icon will be displayed if a volume is running out of available free space.

 

Hardening a Secure Storage server

After the Secure Storage server has been added and the Storage Agent has been installed on it, the server is hardened automatically. The following list outlines what happens to a Secure Storage server when it is hardened:

  • All SMB server roles are disabled (SMBv1 - SMBv3).

  • All inbound and outbound TCP, ICMP and UDP protocols are blocked by IPSec policies, except for the high-level Secure Storage Agent ports (see below).

  • ICMP traffic is blocked (i.e. the server cannot be pinged).

  • Remote desktop (RDP) traffic is blocked.

  • Only one TCP inbound agent port is left open on the server for communication with Recovery Manager for Active Directory, the Storage Agent port (by default, this is 48001).

  • To allow the backups to be uploaded to remote locations (the "Copy to…" menu item in the Backups on the Secure Storage Servers pane), outbound TCP port 445 for SMB, outbound UDP 53 port for DNS, outbound UDP 5355 port for LLMNR, and outbound UDP 137 port for NetBIOS are opened.

  • Agent traffic is encrypted by the public/private key pair.

  • Logons to the server are only allowed via console (physical) access.

When a Secure Storage server is hardened, the lock icon next to the name of the Secure Storage server in the Secure Storage Servers window will be closed and it will have a Security Status of Secured.

IMPORTANT

You cannot install the Secure Storage server agent on a domain joined server, a domain controller or a member server. A server that is hardened will not be able to perform authentication or allow replication to occur. A Secure Storage server should be a stand-alone server in a workgroup.

Accessing a Secure Storage server

It is recommended to use a dedicated, clean physical server that is not joined to a domain. However, virtualized servers can be used including a the virtual machine in the cloud. Virtualized servers on you on-premise are not recommended for use as they are vulnerable to attack.

Physical Server

To access the Secure Storage server that is hosted on-premise you must have physical access to the server and use interactive logon with a local administrator account.

Each Secure Storage server is installed with dedicated PowerShell® module to setup and maintain the storage server. For further details see the Management Shell Guide supplied with this release of the product.

WARNING

While Secure Storage server remains hardened, no RDP, PowerShell® Remote and other remote control services and protocols are available.

Virtualized Server

Virtualized on-premise server

If you have configured the dedicated virtual machine on your physical server you may use hypervisor capabilities to control the virtual Secure Storage server including virtual machine connections and execution of commands through the hypervisor services (such as PowerShell® Direct on Hyper-V® machines).

Virtualized server in the cloud

Amazon EC2

To access a Secure Storage server that is deployed in the Amazon EC2 you can use EC2 Serial Console.
To get more information on how to connect to the virtual machine refer to Connect to the EC2 Serial Console

To access a Secure Storage server that is hosted in Microsoft Azure® virtual machine you can use Serial Console access. Refer to Azure Serial Console

 

Upgrading a Secure Storage server

Upgrade an existing Secure Storage server

After upgrade of Recovery Manager for Active Directory (RMAD) it is recommended to upgrade the Secure Storage agent on the Secure Storage server to the same version.

IMPORTANT

Secure storage agent is not compatible with RMAD 10.3.1 or lower versions. You must upgrade Secure Storage Agent to enable creating backups on storage server.

With a hardened Secure Storage server, RMAD does not automatically upgrade the agent and this must be completed with console (physical) access to the server.

  1. In the Recovery Manager for Active Directory console, click the Secure Storage node.

  2. In the Secure Storage Servers pane, select the Secure Storage server. The current version of the agent installed will be displayed.

  3. If the agent installed does not match the version of your RMAD installation, right-click the Secure Storage server that you want to manually export the setup package.

  4. Click Export setup.

  5. Copy the package, SecureStorageAgent.zip, to the existing Secure Storage server. This requires console (physical) access to the Secure Storage server.

  6. Extract the package on the Secure Storage server and double-click the SecureStorageAgent.msi file to upgrade the agent.

  7. A warning will be displayed. IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: This server is about to be hardened and all network connections to this server will be lost including Remote Desktop. Ensure you have physical access to this server and have an available method to access such as console access or serial access. Select YES to acknowledge you understand and are prepared for the Secure Storage server to be installed and hardened. Recovery Manager for Active Directory cannot undo this operation without physical access to the server.

    NOTE: For quiet installation both the /qn switch and FORCE=true can be specified when launching the msi file from the command line.

  8. The Storage Agent is installed and the server is hardened automatically. For more information on hardening, see Hardening a Secure Storage server above.

IMPORTANT

During upgrade the Secure Storage server may be unhardened for a short period of time (seconds).

To prevent temporary unhardening and before installing the new agent on the Secure Storage server, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Secure Storage server, open a command prompt.

  2. To retrieve the id for the current Quest Secure Storage agent, type and run: wmic product where "Name like 'Quest Secure Storage Agent'" get Name, Version, IdentifyingNumber

  3. Using the returned id, type and execute the following: msiexec /x {Identifying Number} AUTO_UNHARDENING=FALSE
