Installing Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console

Install Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console on an Azure virtual machine that you plan to designate as a controller for the disaster recovery (DR) activities.

To install Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console using the installation wizard

  1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the Disaster Recovery Orchestrator software package directory, and double-click theSetup.exe file.
  2. On the Symantec Product Installer screen, click Install Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console to launch the installation wizard.
  3. On the Welcome panel, review the list of prerequisites, make sure that they are met, and then click Next.
  4. On the License panel, read the license terms, select I accept the terms of License Agreement, and click Next.

    The Participate in the Symantec Product Improvement Program by submitting system and usage information anonymously check box is selected by default. The Product Improvement Program allows the product installer to collect installation, deployment, and usage data, and anonymously submit it to Symantec. This information helps identify how customers deploy and use the product. If you do not want to participate in the product improvement program, clear this check box.

  5. On the System Validation panel, verify the following:
    • The current system appears in the System field.

      Remote installation is not allowed.

    • The default installation directory is: C:\Program Files\Veritas. You can customize this location either by entering the path manually or by clicking Browse... and navigating to the desired location.

    • The wizard performs certain validation checks on the system and notes the details in the Verification Status field.

      If the system fails the validation checks, the wizard does not proceed with the installation. Review the details, rectify the issue, and then click Re-Verify to re-initiate the validation checks for this system.

    Click Next.

  6. On the Cloud Authentication panel, provide the following information:

    • Location of the Personal Information Exchange (PFX) file

    • Password for the PFX file

    • Azure subscription ID

    • Cloud region

      This region indicates your Azure network location.

    Note:

    For the China region, make sure to import the Chinese management certificate on this virtual machine after the Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console installation is complete. If you import the certificate before the installation is complete, the wizard overwrites it.

    See Importing the Chinese management certificate.

    Note:

    Make a note of the PFX file name and its current path. You may need these values later to create a new virtual machine and restore Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console, if it gets corrupted.

    Click Next.

    The wizard uses this information to authenticate the user credentials in the cloud environment.

    For information about creating and using Azure certificate files:

    See About using certificates for Azure authentication.

  7. On the Fire Drill Network panel, provide the following information:
    • Select the bubble network to be used for performing fire drills.

    • Specify the subnet to be used.

      Alternatively, you may specify the subnet later on the DR Settings page of Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console.

    Click Next.

  8. On the Domain Authentication panel, provide the credentials of the Active Directory user for authentication on the Windows domain.
  9. On the Pre-install Summary panel, review the summary.

    If you want to save this information for future reference, click Save Report. The default file name is PreInstallReport, and you can save it in a few different formats.

    If any issues occur, review the log for details, and rectify the issues before proceeding.

    Click Next.

  10. On the Installation panel, review the progress of the installation.

    If the installation fails, the details pane displays the status accordingly. You may click Cancel to exit the wizard. Perform the necessary troubleshooting tasks, and relaunch the wizard to complete the installation.

    After the installation succeeds, click Next to begin the post-installation tasks.

  11. On the Post-install Summary panel, review the installation results.

    If you want to save this information for future reference, click Save Report. The default file name is PostInstallReport, and you can save it in a few different formats.

    If the installation fails, refer to the log file for details. You may have to reinstall the software.

    Click Finish to exit the wizard.
