Prerequisites

Before installing the DR Series appliance, ensure that the following requirements have been met:

•
You must use a supported version of vRanger and the DR Series system. For more information, see Product requirements for integration.
•
An active network with available Ethernet cables and connections.
•
If the system has a 1 GbE network interface card (NIC), connect all NIC ports on the NIC daughter card. If the system has a 10 GbE NIC, connect both the 10 GbE ports on the NIC daughter card. Do not connect to 1 GbE ports if there is a 10 GbE NIC available on the system.
•
Network values required are IP addressing, network mask, default gateway, DNS suffix, primary (and optional) DNS server, and host name. If DHCP is selected, these values are populated based on your DHCP configuration. If DHCP is not selected, the values must be manually configured.
•
Defaults for the DR Series are:
▪
Default Static System IP: 10.77.88.99
 
* 
NOTE: Default static system IP is used only when there is no DHCP server. The default IP can be used to configure the system using a point-to-point NIC connection.
▪
Subnet mask IP: 255.0.0.0
▪
Default iDRAC IP: 192.168.0.120
 
* 
NOTE: For iDRAC connection, the login name is root and password is calvin.
•
On the first boot, you must set up the network and the host name for the Quest DR Series system.
•
Connect the Quest DR Series system to a keyboard and monitor when you set up the system for the first time. After the operating system and network are configured, the system can be managed using a remote browser interface.
•
To set up the Quest DR Series system, use an account with administrator privileges.
