About configuring the Resiliency Platform components
After the Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance deployment, you are expected to configure the Resiliency Platform component that you have deployed, through the bootstrap process. The bootstrap process is automatically invoked when you log in to the virtual appliance console for the first time using the admin user login.
Note:
There is no sequence required for configuring the Resiliency Platform components. You can configure the components in any sequence on source as well as target data centers. Only after configuring Resiliency Manager, a URL for the Resiliency Platform web console login is provided and then you can access that URL in a web browser to log in to the web console.
The following settings are configured as part of this process to set up the component:
Host Network settings: Settings such as fully qualified hostname (FQDN), IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server. Before you use the hostname and the IP address, you need to register them with the DNS server.
Appliance settings: Settings such as NTP server.
Product settings: Configures the virtual appliance as a Resiliency Manager, Infrastructure Management Server (IMS), Replication Gateway.
Note:
The hostname and the IP address that you use for product configuration, must not be changed later.
This configuration is done through the bootstrap process only for the first time. After the successful configuration, the bootstrap process is disabled. The subsequent admin user logins to the virtual appliance will automatically start with Command Line Interface Shell (klish) menu. If you want to change these settings later, you can use klish menu for changing these settings.
Before configuring the component through product bootstrap, ensure that the prerequisites are met.
