In order to use Idera backup solution, you will need to ensure that the server to be backed up has the R1Soft / Idera agent installed.
1) the root access of the server on which you want to deploy the agent,
2) and the IP of your dedicated backup server.
NOTE: The R1Soft v2 agent cannot run simultaneously with Idera v5 since both use port 1167. To uninstall R1Soft v2, complete the following linux command:
r1soft-uninstall-buagent --remove
Once you are sure you no longer have the R1Soft v2 agent installed, you can proceed to install Idera v5:
- Install the R1Soft repository on your server:
echo "[r1soft]
name=R1Soft Repository Server
baseurl=http://repo.r1soft.com/yum/stable/\$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
" > /etc/yum.repos.d/r1soft.repo
2. Install these files
yum -y install serverbackup-enterprise-agent
3. Install the header kernels:
yum install kernel-devel
4. Obtain the kernel module from Idera:
r1soft-setup --get-module
For security reasons, CDP agents accept connections only from known CDP Servers. To authorize a CDP server to CDP agent, you must add the CDP server's public key to agent's configuration.
To add the server's key to the agent's configuration using the command Line Interface (CLI) tools, follow the instructions below.
Run the following command on the agent machine:
r1soft-setup --get-key https://[IPADDRESS]:8443
restart the services once you have the key:
/etc/init.d/cdp-agent restart
Note: The --get-key function downloads the key from the server. For this option to work, the server should be up and accessible from the agent via the network.
Once the server key has been added, requests from the server should be accepted.
Custom firewalls configured with your Windows OS should allow for connectivity to port 1167
