From the Home page on the Rapid Recovery Core Console, when viewing the Summary Tables view, you can see summary information for any machines protected by the Core in the Protected Machines pane.
|
NOTE: A software agent acts on behalf of the user to take specific actions. Protected machines are sometimes referred to as agents, since they run the Rapid Recovery Agent software to facilitate data backup and replication on the Rapid Recovery Core. |
You can view the status, the display name for each machine, which repository it uses, the date and time of the last snapshot, how many recovery points exist in the repository for the machine, and the total amount of storage space the snapshots use in the repository.
To manage aspects of any protected machine, start by navigating to the machine you want to view, configure, or manage. From the Home page, there are three ways to navigate to a protected machine:
Complete the steps in this procedure to view summary information about a cluster including information about the associated quorum for the cluster.
The Summary page for the machine appears.
For information about viewing summary and status information for an individual machine or node in the cluster, see Viewing protected machines.
Once you have protected a machine in your Rapid Recovery Core, you can easily view and modify the settings that govern the behavior of that protected machine. When you modify settings for a specific machine, those settings supersede the behavior set at the Core level.
You can view and configure the following machine settings in the Rapid Recovery Core Console:
vSphere. These settings let Rapid Recovery Core manage some aspects of protected vSphere hosts. One setting lets Core delete user-created VMware snapshots required before capturing Rapid Recovery snapshots). One setting allows transfer of volumes with invalid used capacity. The third setting lets Core take quiesced snapshots.
The procedure for viewing or changing machine-level settings is identical for general, excluded writers, and license details. For more information, see Viewing and modifying protected machine settings.
The procedure for modifying nightly jobs for a machine is different. For information about configuring nightly job settings for a machine, see Customizing nightly jobs for a protected machine.
The procedure for modifying vSphere settings differs slightly. For more information, see Configuring vSphere settings.
In some cases, you may want to adjust the data transfer rate for a protected machine. For more information, see About modifying transfer settings.
Machine settings help determine the behavior of a machine protected by the Core. When you modify settings for a specific machine, those settings supersede the behavior set at the Core level.
Likewise, a protected Hyper-V virtual host has different machine settings than the virtual machines it manages. For more information, see Viewing summary information for a hypervisor or cluster host.
Complete the steps in this procedure to view and modify general settings, transfer settings, settings for excluded writers, and licensing settings for a protected machine.

Text Box | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Display name |
Enter a display name for the machine. This is the name that displays for a protected machine in the Rapid Recovery Core Console. You can enter up to 64 characters. By default, this is the host name of the machine. You can change this to something more user-friendly if needed. Do not use prohibited characters or prohibited phrases. | ||
Host name |
This is the name of the protected machine as it appears in the machine's metadata.
| ||
Repository |
This setting only appears for protected Hyper-V clusters, which support shared virtual hard disks. Displays the repository configured on the Rapid Recovery Core in which recovery points of shared virtual hard disks for the protected Hyper-V cluster are stored. | ||
Port |
Enter a port number for the machine. The port is used by the Rapid Recovery Core service to communicate with this machine. The default port is 8006. | ||
Encryption key |
If you want an encryption key that is already defined for this Rapid Recovery Core to be applied to the data for every volume on this protected machine, you can specify the encryption key here. The key must be unlocked. If no encryption keys exist, you can add an encryption key. For more information on managing encryption keys, see Managing encryption keys. If the volumes on this protected machine are encrypted, you can change to a different encryption key. Alternatively, you can disassociate an encryption key by selecting (none) from the Encryption key drop-down menu.
| ||
Repository |
Select a repository for the recovery points. Displays the repository configured on the Rapid Recovery Core in which to store the data from this machine. The repository volume can be local (on storage attached to the Core server), or on a volume on a CIFS shared location.
| ||
Hypervisor |
This setting only appears for virtual machines. The value of this setting indicates whether the selected virtual machine is associated as the child of a protected hypervisor host.
| ||
OS version |
This setting only appears for guest virtual machines associated with a protected hypervisor host. Generally, Rapid Recovery detects and displays the operating system running on the protected VM. |

This control restores all transfer settings to the system default settings. | ||
Priority |
Sets the transfer priority between protected machines. Enables you to assign priority by comparison with other protected machines. Select a number from 1 to 10, with 1 being the highest priority. The default setting establishes a priority of 5.
| ||
Maximum Concurrent Streams |
Sets the maximum number of TCP links that are sent to the Core to be processed in parallel per protected machine, for machines protected in a DVM repository.
| ||
Maximum Concurrent Writes |
Sets the maximum number of simultaneous disk write actions per protected machine connection.
| ||
Use Core Default Maximum Retries |
Select this option to use default retries number for each protected machine, if some of the operations fail to complete. | ||
Maximum Segment Size |
Specifies the largest amount of data, in bytes, that a computer can receive in a single TCP segment. The default setting is 4194304. Do not change this setting from the default unless directed to do so by a Quest Support representative. | ||
Maximum Transfer Queue Depth |
Specifies the amount of commands that can be sent concurrently. The default setting is 64. You can adjust this to a higher number if your system has a high number of concurrent input/output operations. | ||
Outstanding Reads per Stream |
Specifies how many queued read operations will be stored on the back end. This setting helps to control the queuing of protected machines. The default setting is 0. | ||
Transfer Data Server Port |
Sets the port for transfers. The default setting is 8009. | ||
Transfer Timeout |
Specifies in minutes and seconds the amount of time to allow a packet to be static without transfer. | ||
Snapshot Timeout |
Specifies in minutes and seconds the maximum time to wait to take a snapshot. | ||
Snapshot Cleaning Timeout |
Specifies in minutes and seconds the maximum time for process of deleting VSS snapshot on a protected machine. | ||
Network Read Timeout |
Specifies in minutes and seconds the maximum time to wait for a read connection. If the network read cannot be performed in that time, the operation is retried. | ||
Network Write Timeout |
Specifies the maximum time in seconds to wait for a write connection. If the network write cannot be performed in that time, the operation is retried. | ||
Encrypt snapshot data |
Specifies whether data transported between the protected machine and the Core is encrypted. This option is enabled by default. This setting applies to data in transit over a network. When this option is enabled, all snapshot data transported to a DVM repository are encrypted.
