Registering with the Support Portal

Registering with the Support Portal

You can now register your DR Series system with the Quest Support Portal by using the DR Series system CLI system --support_agent set of commands. The registered DR Series system will collect certain information that it will transmit to Quest Support. Such information can include operational statistics, performance metrics, diagnostic information and configuration settings of the DR Series system. This enables support personnel to monitor and capture information to proactively help troubleshoot issues with your system.

Configuring Active Directory settings

Configuring Active Directory settings

You can easily join the DR Series system to your Microsoft Active Directory Services (ADS) domain. This topic describes how to configure Active Directory (AD) settings for the DR Series system, which requires that you direct your DR Series system to join or leave a domain that contains a Microsoft Active Directory Service (ADS). Instructions are provided below to join an ADS domain or to leave an ADS domain. When you join the DR Series system to an ADS domain, this disables the Network Time Protocol (NTP) service and instead uses the domain-based time service.

To configure the DR Series system for a domain using ADS, complete the following steps:

1.
In the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Active Directory.
The Active Directory page is displayed.
2.
The Join pane is displayed.
3.
Domain Name (FQDN)—Enter a fully qualified domain name for the ADS; for example, AD12.acme.com. (This is a required field.)
Username—Enter a valid user name that meets the user name guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
Password—Enter a valid password that meets the password guidelines for the ADS. (This is a required field.)
Org Unit—Enter a valid organizational name that meets the organization name guidelines for the ADS. (This is an optional field.)
4.
Click Join.
The Domain name and login group will appear on the Active Directory page if successfully added.

Click Leave.

Adding a login group to an ADS domain

Adding a login group to an ADS domain

After you configure your DR systems within the same ADS domain, you must ensure that a login group exists and add it to the domain.

Adding a login group is only possible when the DR Series system is joined to a domain. Also, you must be logged in as a domain user that is part of an enabled login group.

To add a login group in an ADS domain, complete the following steps:

On the left navigation menu, click System Configuration > Active Directory.
The Active Directory page is displayed.
2.
3.
In the Add Login Group pane, type the name of the login group including the domain name; for example, Domain\Domain Admins. If your login group name contains spaces, you must not enclose it in quotation marks. (This differs from the equivalent CLI command.)
4.
Click Add Login Group to add the login group.
