The Rapid Recovery Core settings that you can configure are described in the following table. Each setting has a link to a relevant topic with more information.
You can also access Core tools such as viewing a summary of system information, or downloading Core log files. For more information, see Core-level tools.
General settings for the Rapid Recovery Core include the Core ID, display name, the web server port, service port, locale (the Core console display language), and the display color theme.

The setting you selected becomes editable, as a text field or a drop-down menu.
Each Core has a unique Core ID. This ID is used, for example, to integrate your Core with the Data Protection Portal to provide reporting or management of two or more Cores. The Core ID is now listed in General settings. | |||||||
Enter a new display name for the Core. This is the name that will display in the Rapid Recovery Core Console and (if enabled) in the Data Protection Portal. You can enter up to 64 characters. | |||||||
Enter a port number for the Web server. The default port is 8006.

To change the setting that allows the application to use personal information, from the Agree to use of personal data drop-down list, select Yes or No, as appropriate. In the resulting dialog box, select and register the appropriate license file. When you upgrade or install Rapid Recovery Core, you have the option to set sharing of personal information. If you agree to share information with Quest, you can use features such as automatic update and the Data Protection Portal (which is then enabled by default). If you decline to share information with Quest when installing, you are prompted to register a non-phone-home license. You must have access to the non-phone-home license to save to confirm the change. Regardless of the option you selected during installation, you can change the Agree to use of personal data setting in Core General settings. Ensure you have access to the non-phone-home license, since this action prompts you to upload the non-phone home license. In release 6.2, when you change this setting from "Yes" to "No," the following applies:
To understand the effect of sharing personal information, see Managing privacy, including the topic How Rapid Recovery uses personal information. For more information about the functions you cannot perform when using non-phone-home mode, see the topic Non-phone-home license restrictions. To request a license for non-phone-home mode, see Obtaining and using non-phone-home licenses. |
Rapid Recovery includes the Automatic Update feature. When installing the Rapid Recovery Core, you can choose whether to automatically update the Rapid Recovery Core software when new updates are available, and how frequently the system should check for updates.
NOTE: The automatic update feature requires a license using the standard phone-home mode. If using a software license in non-phone home mode, your Core does not have permission to communicate with the Rapid Recovery License Portal and cannot update the Core or notify you of available updates. For more information, see Managing privacy. |
Rapid Recovery release numbers typically include four chunks of information, separated by decimal points: the major release number, minor release number, revision, and build number. For example, the first rebranded release of Rapid Recovery was 6.0.1.609. The next release was 6.0.2.142.
NOTE: For information on installing Rapid Recovery Core software, see the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide. |
You can view and change the settings the system uses to check for updates at any time.
CAUTION: When using replication, configuring your system to install updates automatically could result in upgrading the source Core before the target Core, which may result in replication failure or the inability to set up new replication between Cores. For replication users, Quest recommends administrators apply automatic upgrades only to the target Core, and then manually upgrade the source Core, and lastly upgrade the protected machines. |
Complete the steps in this procedure to configure update settings.
