You can deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software simultaneously to multiple Windows machines. The machines can be part of an Active Directory domain, a vCenter or ESXi virtual host, or a Hyper-V virtual host; or they can be machines already protected by the local Rapid Recovery Core, as in the case of a Rapid Recovery Agent software upgrade. You also have the option to manually deploy the software to machines that are not necessarily associated with a specific domain or host.
You can also manually deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more Linux machines from the Core Console.
|
Caution: If AppAssure Agent was previously installed on a Linux machine, then before installing Rapid Recovery Agent, remove the AppAssure Agent from the machine using a shell script. For information about removing the Agent from a Linux machine, see the topic "Uninstalling the AppAssure Agent software from a Linux machine" in the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide. T o successfully deploy the Agent software to Linux machines, see the prerequisites in the topic "About installing the Agent software on Linux machines" in the same document. |
Deploying the Rapid Recovery Agent software does not protect the machines automatically. After deploying, you must then select the Protect Multiple Machines option from the button bar of the Core Console.
|
NOTE: The feature in which you deploy to multiple machines simultaneously was previously referred to as bulk deploy. The feature in which you protect multiple machines simultaneously was previously referred to as bulk protect. |
To deploy and protect multiple machines simultaneously, perform the following tasks:
|
NOTE: If you selected the Protect Machine After Install option during deployment, skip this task. |
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:
From within the Core Console, you can complete any of the following tasks:
|
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. |
Use this procedure to simultaneously deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more machines on an Active Directory domain.
Text Box | Description |
---|---|
Host | The host name or IP address of the Active Directory domain. |
User name | The user name used to connect to the domain; for example, Administrator or, if the machine is in a domain, [domain name]\Administrator). |
Password | The secure password used to connect to the domain. |
If Rapid Recovery detects any concerns during automatic verification, the wizard progresses to a Warnings page, where you can clear machines from selection and manually verify the selected machines. If the machines you added pass the automatic verification, they appear on the Deploy Agent to Machines pane.

Caution: The machines are not yet protected. Protection begins after you complete the steps in the topic Protecting multiple machines on a VMware vCenter/ESXi virtual host. |
Use this procedure to simultaneously deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more machines on a VMware vCenter/ESXi virtual host.
|
NOTE: All virtual machines must have VMware Tools installed; otherwise, Rapid Recovery cannot detect the host name of the virtual machine to which to deploy. In lieu of the host name, Rapid Recovery uses the virtual machine name, which may cause issues if the host name is different from the virtual machine name |
Text Box | Description |
---|---|
Host | The name or IP address of the VMware vCenter Server/ESXi virtual host. |
Port | The port used to connect to the virtual host.
The default setting is 443. |
User name | The user name used to connect to the virtual host; for example, Administrator or, if the machine is in a domain, [domain name]\Administrator. |
Password | The secure password used to connect to this virtual host. |

NOTE: Enter one machine on each line. |
If Rapid Recoverydetects any concerns during automatic verification, the wizard progresses to a Warnings page, where you can clear machines from selection and manually verify the selected machines. If the machines you added pass the automatic verification, they appear on the Deploy Agent to Machines pane.
