CHAPTER 2 Safety Instructions Warning: The appliance may only be repaired by a certified service technician. You may only perform troubleshooting as authorized by the support team. Damage due to unauthorized repairs is not covered by the warranty.
CHAPTER 3 Installing the Appliance Before installing the appliance, make sure you have the following: • 3U of server rack space in a standard 19-inch cabinet • at least five free 1/10 GbE ports in a network switch (10 GbE recommended) • at least five RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cables to connect the appliance to the switch • two power sockets If you want to set up network bonding, you will additionally need (a) five free 1/10 GbE ports in a network switch (10 GbE recommended) and (b) five RJ45-to-RJ45 patch cables to c
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance to the Administrator’s Guide. 3.1 Unpacking the Appliance Inspect the packaging contents for damage before mounting the appliance and connecting power. Before continuing, make sure the following items are present in the packaging: the appliance chassis, mounting rails, two power cables, this quick start guide. 3.2 Mounting the Appliance into Rack The appliance comes with a set of server rails.

Install the outer rail into the rack. When selecting the location, note that the rails are in the middle of the appliance. Make sure that you install the outer rails with 1U clearance above and below. Make sure that the safety lock is unlocked before mounting the brackets.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance Uninstall the bracket 4. Mount the chassis into the cabinet. Important: Two people are required to perform this step. Insert the inner rail into the outer rail as shown on the figure. Important: Make sure that the ball retainer is fully open before installing the chassis.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance 3.3 Connecting Cables to the Appliance Note: For more details on configuring the network infrastructure, see the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 Administrator’s Guide. To prepare the appliance for configuration, do the following: 1. Connect the appliance to the electrical outlets using the supplied power cables. 2.

Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance 3.4 Configuring the Appliance Perform the following steps to configure the appliance: 1. Turn on the power: (a) press and hold down the main switch for five seconds, (b) press the power buttons of each node. 2. Connect an admin laptop (from which you will configure the appliance) to the network. Assign a static IP address to it from the same subnet that nodes are in, e.g., 10.20.20.100. As mentioned before, the nodes have preconfigured IP addresses: 10.20.20.11 to 10.20.20.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance 6. On the next step, enter the following: • New host names for all nodes (or leave the default names). You can rename the nodes to fit your organization’s naming policies or make them relevant to your organization. • New static IP addresses for network interfaces 1 on all nodes. If you leave the fields empty, the default addresses 10.20.20.11 to 10.20.20.15 will be used. • Virtual IP address at which you will access the highly available admin panel.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance Important: Entered values cannot be changed later. If one or more nodes are not reachable from the primary node, they will be marked as offline. In this case, make sure the nodes are powered on and connected to the correct network. Deployment will be blocked until all nodes are green (accessible and configurable by the primary node). Note: You will be able to configure bonds and VLANs later in the admin panel. Click Next. 7.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance Click Submit. Configuration will begin, as indicated on the progress bar. 8. Wait until the progress bar reaches the end and change the IP address of the admin laptop to a free one from which you can access the appliance. 9. Once configuration is completed, you will see a link to the cluster admin panel. Log in with the username admin and the specified password.
Chapter 3. Installing the Appliance 10. Proceed to SETTINGS > Licenses and upgrade the default trial license either by a key or SPLA (for more details, see Managing Licenses (page 17)). If you do not have a license, contact your sales representative. 11. If you need to make additional changes to network configuration, e.g., create bonds and VLANs, connect cables to the network interface 2 and SFP slots and follow the instructions in the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 Administrator’s Guide.
CHAPTER 4 Managing Updates Take note of the following before you start updating nodes: • To check for and download updates, the cluster must be healthy and each node in the infrastructure must be able to open outgoing Internet connections. This means, in particular, that cluster DNS must be configured and point to a DNS able to resolve external host names. For more details, see the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 Administrator’s Guide. • Unassigned nodes cannot be updated.
Chapter 4. Managing Updates 2. To apply all available updates, click UPDATE NOW. To update the kernel with ReadyKernel, consult the Acronis Cyber Infrastructure 3.0 Administrator’s Command Line Guide.
CHAPTER 5 Managing Licenses The Acronis Cyber Infrastructure appliance is licensed for two types of deployments: • Hybrid cloud. Comes with a 3-year hardware warranty and requires a subscription for Acronis Backup Cloud. After 3 years, the hardware warranty needs to be renewed for another 1 or 3 years. For this deployment type, you will need to install a SPLA license as described in Installing SPLA Licenses (page 20). • Private cloud.
Chapter 5. Managing Licenses Note: SPLA license is valid for Cloud Partners. If SPLA is enabled, you can connect Backup Gateway only to Acronis Backup Cloud and not to Acronis Backup 12.5 or Acronis Backup Advanced 12.5. To connect ABGW to these products, you will need to use license keys. Furthermore, Acronis Backup Gateway usage is not counted in SPLA in Acronis Cyber Infrastructure. SPLA only counts universal usage that is not related to backup.
Chapter 5. Managing Licenses 3. In the Register license key window, paste the license key and click REGISTER. 4. Back on the Licenses screen, click Activate if you are activating from a trial or choose one of the following: • Upgrade, to add storage capacity to the active license. • Prolong, to prolong the soon-to-be-expired license. And click Activate.
Chapter 5. Managing Licenses The expiration date or storage capacity will change according to what the key grants. 5.2 Installing SPLA Licenses To install a SPLA license, do the following: 1. On the SETTINGS > Licenses screen, click Upgrade and Use SPLA. 2. In the Use SPLA window, select a region from the drop-down list and click Activate. You will be redirected to a login page of Acronis Cyber Cloud. Note: For more information on datacenters, see https://kb.acronis.com/servicesbydc. 3.
