Configure the secure tunnel and add the source system to the target

Perform these steps to configure the secure tunnel and add the source system to the target.

To configure the secure tunnel

1        Switch to the source system in your browser to view the Configure the Secure Tunnel on the Source System step. Click Complete Configuration.

2        You see a message asking you to complete the Secure Tunnel configuration and sign the Source System Certificate. Click Okay.

3        You are prompted to browse and open the <target>-ca.crt file. When you open the file, a message displays stating that you have successfully loaded the CA certificate.

4        Click Okay to load the signed Secure Tunnel certificate. You are prompted to browse and open the <source>.<target>.crt file. Open this file to complete Secure Tunnel configuration on the source system. Click Okay to acknowledge that the configuration is complete.

Note: If you have previously created a secure tunnel between the source and target, a message displays stating that the source has already been configured as an OpenVPN client of the target. Click Okay, and proceed to the next step.

5        Click Next to continue. The replication wizard instructs you to return to the target system to continue with the setup.

To add the source system to the target

6        Switch to the target system in your browser. Click Next to view the Add Source System to Target step. In the drop-down menus, select a customer and location for the source system or use the default values provided. If you have multiple backup devices on the target system, select the device where you would like backups to replicate. Click Next.

7        The wizard now asks if you would like to configure attributes on the source system. You can tune the source system to perform optimally given the bandwidth available for replication. You can also configure clients and applications for replication. The wizard allows you to perform these configurations from either system, but to simplify the setup process, these instructions ask you to configure attributes through the source. On the target, select The replication attributes of source are already setup, and I am done. (You will still be able to configure attributes on the source system.) Click Next.

8        The wizard informs you that replication is complete. Click Finish to complete the Replication Wizard setup for the target system. You must now return to the source system to complete the replication setup. Proceed to Tune replication attributes on the source system.
