Downloading the Rapid Recovery Agent Installer

Download the Rapid Recovery Agent Installer and deploy it to any machine that you want to protect on the Rapid Recovery Core. Complete the steps in this procedure to download the installer.

  1. To download the Agent installer directly from the machine you want to protect, do the following:
    1. In a web browser, open the QorePortal at https://qoreportal.quest.com/.
    2. Click Settings, and then click [Downloads] Downloads.
    3. Under Applications, locate Agent Software. If you want a full Windows 64-bit installer, click Full Installer. To download a smaller package that streams the latest version of the installer over the web, click Web Installer.
      The installer file, for example Agent-X64-6.3.xxxx.exe, saves to the downloads destination folder.
  2. To download the web installer from the Core, on the Core Console icon bar, click the [More] More icon and then select Downloads Downloads.
  3. On the Downloads page, from the Agent pane, click Download web installer.
  4. If prompted, from the Opening Agent-Web.exe dialog box, click Save File.
    The installer file, for example Agent-X64-6.3.xxxx.exe, saves to the downloads destination folder.
  5. Move the installer to the appropriate machine and install the Rapid Recovery Agent software.

    For more information about installing the Rapid Recovery Agentsoftware, see the Rapid Recovery Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Deploying Agent to multiple machines simultaneously from the Core Console

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:

Using the Deploy Agent Software Wizard to deploy to one or more machines

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:

  1. Detect Windows machines on an Active Directory domain, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
  2. Connect to a VMware vCenter or ESXi host, detect the guests, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
  3. 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.)
  4. Connect to a Hyper-V server or cluster, detect the guests, and push the Agent software to the machines you select.
  5. 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:

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.

Deploying to machines on an Active Directory domain

Before you begin this procedure, have the domain information and login credentials for the Active Directory server on hand.

Use this procedure to simultaneously deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software to one or more machines on an Active Directory domain.

  1. From the Rapid Recovery Core Console button bar, click the Protect[Expand drop-down menu] drop-down menu, , and then select [Deploy Agent] Deploy Agent Software.
    The Deploy Agent Software Wizard opens.
  2. On the Connection page of the wizard, from the Source drop-down list, select Active Directory.
  3. Enter the domain information and login credentials as described in the following table.
    Table 39: Domain information and credentials
    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.
  4. Click Next.
  5. On the Machines page, select the machines to which you want to deploy the Rapid Recovery Agent software.
  6. Optionally, to automatically restart the protected machines after the Agent is installed, select After Agent installation, restart the machines automatically (Recommended).
  7. Click Finish.
    The system automatically verifies each machine that you selected.

    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.

  8. If the Warning page appeared and you are still satisfied with your selections, click Finish again.
The Rapid Recovery Agent software deploys to the specified machines.

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.
