Product Documentation

1. Create or Join a Resiliency Domain

For a new Resiliency Platform deployment, select the option Create Resiliency Domain and supply a name for the domain.

You can choose whether to allow collection of product usage information. More information is available about telemetry collection.

See Enabling or disabling telemetry collection .

Select Join Resiliency Domain option if you already have a resiliency domain set up and want to add another Resiliency Manager to the existing domain.

See Adding a Resiliency Manager to an existing resiliency domain.

Click Continue.

2. Set up the Resiliency Manager

Select Cloud Data Center? if this is a public cloud data center.

Enter the geographical location of the data center in Data Center Location.

Provide a user friendly name to the data center in Data Center Name.

Provide a user friendly name to the Resiliency Manager in Resiliency Manager Name. Default entries are shown if the Resiliency Manager has external Internet access to determine the geographical location.

Click Create.

If you want to configure on-premises data center or configure OpenStack as a private cloud instance, then do not select this checkbox.

See Managing on-premises data centers.

See Adding OpenStack private cloud instance.

3. 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.

See Options for authentication domain configuration.

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.

See Managing user authentication and permissions.

4. 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.

5. Set up Cloud Configuration

Optional.

This step is enabled only if you select Cloud Data Center in the step 1. You can skip this step and add the cloud configuration later from the console.

See Getting started wizard - adding AWS data center.

See Getting started wizard - adding Azure data center.

See Getting started wizard - adding HUAWEI CLOUD data center.

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

6. Finish Getting Started

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