Step 2: Configure the onQ Appliances

If your Appliances were pre-configured prior to delivery, skip to Step 4: Connect the Appliance to your network. Otherwise, perform the following procedure on the HA Appliance, DR Appliance, and if applicable, DR Mirror.

To configure an onQ Appliance:

Perform the following steps on all Appliances, including the HA Appliance, DR Appliance and, if applicable, the DR Mirror.

1.	Use a standalone computer with an available Ethernet port and configure the IP address to 169.254.2.99 and net mask 255.255.255.0.

2.	Connect your computer’s Ethernet port directly to Port 0 on the rear of the onQ Appliance.

3.	Log on to the onQ Portal with user ID VARAdmin. Contact Quorum Support for the default password. If you are prompted to clear the EULA acceptance, click Yes.

4.	For security purposes, change both the default VARAdmin and Admin passwords. Go to Change user passwords.

5.	If Protection is on, stop protection.

6.	Specify local onQ Appliance configuration:

a.	Go to APPLIANCE CONFIG tab > onQ (LOCAL) page, then MODIFY.

b.	Specify the parameters, including networking information and onQ Role, then SAVE.

If your PNs need to go through a proxy, go to About onQ Proxy.

For examples:

•	Local: Example of DR Appliance

•	Local: Example of DR Mirror

7.	Specify remote onQ Appliance configuration:

a.	Go to APPLIANCE CONFIG tab > onQ (REMOTE) page, then MODIFY.

b.	Click MODIFY and set the parameters, including networking information, DR mirroring, and bandwidth limits, then SAVE.

For examples:

•	Remote: Example of HA Appliance with Hybrid Cloud

•	Remote: Example of HA Appliance with Remote DR Appliance

•	Remote: Example of DR Appliance with DR Mirror

•	Remote: Example of DR Mirror

8.	Set up the trust relationship.

You must set up the HA‑to‑DR link. If you have a DR Mirror, set up the DR‑to‑Mirror link too. For more information, go to Set up trust relationships.

a.	Test the link.

 

9.	Configure e‑mail alerts.

10.	Configure the hypervisor.
