1. Set up Resiliency Manager

Specify the data center location of the Resiliency Manager, the data center friendly name, and the Resiliency Manager name. Default entries are shown if the Resiliency Manager has external Internet access to determine the geographical location.

Click Confirm & Continue.

2. Create or Join a Resiliency Domain

For a new Resiliency Platform deployment, select the option to create a resiliency domain and supply a name for the domain.

You can choose whether to allow collection of product usage information.

Click Create.

Wait for the message showing that the domain is successfully created. This process may take several minutes.

More information is available about telemetry collection.

See Enabling or disabling telemetry collection

3. Enable Solutions Licenses

You can select a license file to apply or enable the trial license.

See About licenses

4. Set up Authentication Domain

Optional.

By default the Admin user on the virtual appliance has the Super admin persona. Personas are user roles with access to a predefined set of operations. The Super admin persona has full access to all operations in the console.

If you want to assign a different user as Super admin you must first set up an LDAP or Active Directory authentication domain.

Then, on the next step, you can add a user or group from that identity provider as Super admin and optionally reassign the virtual appliance Admin user to a more limited persona.

Otherwise, you can skip this step and set up authentication and assign personas later using the console Settings page.

5. Set up Users and Personas

Optional.

If you set up an authentication domain in the previous step, you can specify the user or user group to which you want to assign the Super admin persona.

Optionally, you can also reassign the virtual appliance Admin to the more limited Resiliency Platform Deployment admin persona, with permission to perform deployments and updates only.

The user with the Super Admin persona can add other users and groups and assign them personas later using the Settings page.

See Managing user authentication and permissions

6. Set up Cloud Configuration

Optional.

This step is enabled only if you select your data center as a Cloud data center in the Getting Started wizard. You can skip this step and add the cloud configuration later from the console.

• For data center in AWS:

  Enter the cloud configuration name, AWS access key, AWS secret key, region, and name of the S3 bucket that can be accessed using the AWS credentials that you have provided.

• For data center in vCloud:

  Enter vCloud URL, Organization name, User name and password for that Organization. The user name must be assigned the role of an Organization administrator. Enter the port number if you want to change the default port. Click Fetch Details to display the details. If there are multiple virtual data centers associated with the Organization, you need to select the virtual data center which you want to use for the cloud configuration.

The wizard verifies the information you enter and notifies you if the information is invalid.

Exit the Getting Started wizard. The Dashboard is displayed. You can complete any steps that you skipped from the Settings page.
