recognizes the default and new host names and requires a separate domain name
for itself.
See “Configuring the appliance” on page 17.
To join a domain
1
Make sure that the "BEAppliance" host name and your new host name do not
exist in the domain. If either name exists, the appliance fails to join the
specified domain.
Example: Change the Backup Exec appliance's new host name to
“NewBEAppliance.” During the initial configuration, the host names
“BEAppliance” and “NewBEAppliance” should not already exist in the domain.
2
Go to Settings > Appliance Reconfiguration > Role Configuration and enter
the domain name, domain user, and domain password, and then click Save.
The domain user should be the domain administrator's account, or an
equivalent account that is part of the Domain Admins Group.
If you have successfully joined a domain, Backup Exec services run under the
context of the domain. The default Backup Exec logon account contains the
domain user’s credentials.
After you have entered information on the Host/License Configuration page,
a page of information regarding your new configuration displays. Messages
regarding the status of your host and license changes are shown.
3
Restart the appliance.
Note:
It may take 10 minutes to 12 minutes for the appliance to restart
completely. Symantec recommends that you log into the Web UI only after
the following message disappears: "Appliance services are starting."
Confirming the initial configuration
You can verify that your initial setup and configuration steps have been completed
successfully. You should run a quick test to see if the appliance functions correctly.
At this time your computer should not need to be physically connected to the
appliance.
