You can simplify the task of deploying the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more machines by using the Deploy Agent Software Wizard.
If deploying to Linux machines, this method is appropriate.
|
NOTE: In the past, this feature was called "bulk deploy." |
When you use the Deploy Agent Software Wizard, Rapid Recovery Core can:
- Detect Windows machines on an Active Directory domain, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
- Connect to a VMware vCenter or ESXi host, detect the guests, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
- Connect to a local Rapid Recovery Core and deploy the current (newer) Agent software to Windows machines that Core already protects. (For Linux machines, use the option to deploy manually.)
- Connect to a Hyper-V server or cluster, detect the guests, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
- Manually specify Linux or Windows machines, using IP addresses and credentials, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
From within the Core Console, you can complete any of the following tasks:
- Deploying to machines on an Active Directory domain
- Deploying to machines on a VMware vCenter/ESXi virtual host
- Deploying an upgrade of the Rapid Recovery Agent to protected machines
- Deploying to machines manually

NOTE: Quest recommends limiting the number of machines to which you deploy simultaneously to 50 or fewer, to preclude experiencing resource constraints that may cause the deploy operation to fail. |
|
NOTE: The target machines must have internet access to download and install bits, because Rapid Recovery uses the web version of the Rapid Recovery Agent Installer to deploy the installation components. If internet access is unavailable, use the Core Console to download the installer to a storage medium such as a USB drive. Then, physically install the software on the machines that you want to protect. For more information, see Downloading the Rapid Recovery Agent Installer. |
