vi Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide
1. INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
This section explains how to attach an Arkeia Physical Appliance to a network.
The individual responsible for this task, usually the System Administrator, must
have access permissions which allows him or her to add a computer to the
network.
1.1. Select a Site
The installation site will depend upon the requested form factor. The Arkeia
Physical Appliance 100 Series models are either tabletop or rack-mounted
machines. The Arkeia Physical Appliance 200, 300 and 500 Series models are
rack-mounted.
1.2. Clearance
Access to power and network cables at the back of the Arkeia Physical
Appliance will be needed. The front panel should be easily visible and a
clearance of 12in (30cm) is needed to remove the hard disk drives. Models with
built-in tape drives will need clearance to insert and remove the tape cartridges.
1.3. Environment
The Arkeia Physical Appliance should be installed in an environment suitable for
computers:
Dust free
No excessive vibration
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields generated by electric and
electronic devices
Well-ventilated
1.4. Connect to Power
Connect the supplied power cable to the power outlet and the other end to the
IEC C13 socket at the back of the Arkeia Physical Appliance, and then press
the power button on the front panel.
Beginning with the 110, 210, 310 and 510 Series, all Arkeia Physical
Apopliances have auto-sensing power supply units (PSUs) and support both
110v and 220v.
Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide 1
2. CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE
NETWORK
2.1. Back Panel Connections
For models with two RJ-45 plugs (used by Ethernet cables), use the plug that is
not covered, whether in foil, paper, or plastic. If neither plug is covered, use the
plug labeled “LAN1”. For photographs of the back panel of each appliance
model, visit http://www.arkeia.com/r/backpanels.
2.2. Network Connection Overview
The Arkeia Physical Appliance needs to be connected to the network to allow
configuration. The following attributes may be configured:
IP address configuration
o IP (v4) address, if static configuration is used
o Subnet mask
o Broadcast address
o Gateway
Machine name (optional, if set in and obtained from the DHCP server)
DNS (optional, if obtained from the DHCP server)
List of hosts
SMTP server IP address or name and port
SMTP authentication username and password, if required
The first step is to set the IP address.
2.3. Setting a Temporary IP Address
CAUTION: Arkeia strongly recommends that you assign a static
IP address to all Appliances and Backup Servers. Using DHCP
Servers to assign IP permanent addresses to Appliances or
Backup Servers can cause unexpected problems.
The IP address on the Arkeia Physical Appliance can be set in three ways.
Review these three options and choose one to establish connectivity to the
appliance. While this initial configuration can set an IP address via DHCP, the
Arkeia appliance should be configured with a static IP address for ongoing
operations.
The three options are:
Use the cross-over cable
Define a temporary network route
2 Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide
Use DHCP
Choose the alternative that seems simplest—that is consistent with your own
experience and knowledge of your network. This section will define each option
in detail.
2.3.1. Use the Cross-Over Cable
Connect the included cross-over Ethernet cable directly to a separate PC via
the Ethernet port on the back of the Arkeia Physical Appliance and press the
power button on the front panel.
Point a Web browser on the PC to the default IP address of the appliance:
10.10.10.10.
Continue configuring the appliance in section 2.4.
2.3.2. Define a Temporary Network Route
Many routers allow administrators to set a temporary “network route.” This
directive or rule would be set temporarily in the router to redirect some local
address (e.g. X.X.X.X) to 10.10.10.10.
Once the route is defined, you can point a Web browser to X.X.X.X to gain
access to the appliance. Continue configuring the appliance in section 2.4.
2.3.3. Use a DHCP Server
Remember, you should use your Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server
only to initially connect the appliance to the network during setup. Static IP
addresses should be assigned in the setup process and used in any production
environment. Note that the DHCP is set to “on” by default. For both scenarios
below, be sure to connect your appliance via Cat-5/RJ-45 cable/connector to a
network with an active DHCP server.
2.3.3.1. Use a VGA-compatible Monitor to Learn the IP Address
One elegant solution is to attach a monitor to the VGA connector on the back
panel of the appliance. Reboot the appliance by pressing the power button on
the front panel. The Arkeia Physical Appliance will wait for one minute to receive
a DHCP response.
If the DHCP server responds, the obtained IP address will be displayed on the
monitor. (If no DHCP response is received, the appliance will retain the default
IP address of 10.10.10.10.)
Point a Web browser to IP address displayed to gain access to the appliance.
Continue configuring the appliance in section 2.4.
Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide 3
2.3.3.2. Assign a Known IP Address to the Appliance’s MAC Address
Most routers with embedded DHCP servers will allow administrators to assign
an IP address (in the range of assignable addresses) to a device with a specific
MAC address. The process follows:
1. Find the appliance’s MAC address on the back panel. It is of the form
Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
2. Define a rule in the router to assign IP address X.X.X.X to the device
with MAC address Y:Y:Y:Y:Y.
3. Reboot the appliance by pressing the power button on the front panel.
The Arkeia Physical Appliance will wait for one minute to receive a
DHCP response.
4. Point a Web browser to X.X.X.X to gain access to the appliance.
Continue configuring the appliance in the following section (2.4).
2.4. Appliance Default Passwords
Before you assign a static IP address to the appliance, you need to review how
to use the Web User Interface of the appliance.
The Arkeia Physical Appliance is configured in two parts; Arkeia Network
Backup Software and Appliance System. Each section has a separate
superuser and password.
Web Interface Login: (for the Arkeia Network Backup software)
username = root
password = <blank>
Appliance System Login: (for the Linux operating system)
username = root
password = arkeia
2.5. Appliance Web User Interface
In a graphical Web browser enter the IP address of your Arkeia Physical
Appliance determined in step 2.3 above. The appliance listens to port 80, the
default HTTP (Web) port.
Log into the appliance
1. Enter “root” in the User Name field.
2. Do not enter a value in the “Password” field for the initial login.
3. Click on “Login”.
On-line product resources are listed on the first screen.
4 Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide
Click on “Help” in the actions panel at the right for further information about
using the Arkeia Physical Appliance.
2.6. Set a Hostname and a Static IP Address
CAUTION: Arkeia strongly recommends that you assign a static
IP address to all Appliances and Backup Servers. Using DHCP
Servers to assign IP addresses to Appliances or Backup
Servers can cause unexpected grief.
Navigate to Configure Appliance Network
1. Enter the Appliance Password (default = arkeia)
2. Click “Validate”
Next, assign a hostname to the Arkeia Appliance
Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide 5
Set the “Use DHCP” parameter to “NO” which will display the static network
configuration menu.
Finally, assign the networking parameters of your environment.
IP address:
Net mask:

4. BACKUPS AND RESTORES
This section will explain how to run backup jobs and restorations.
4.1. Backup Strategies
4.1.1. Backup Vocabulary
Terms used to define a “backup” are listed below:
Backup Job: the process by which source data are copied to disk
drives or tape drives that can be local (on the same machine as the
client data) or remote (on another machine)
Source Data: the files (and other specialized data structures, such as a
Windows Registry) to be backed up. The specification of source data
on a client computer is a “savepack”.
Clients: administrators install Arkeia Backup Agents on client
computers. Source data reside on client computers.
Servers: Arkeia Backup Servers communicate with Arkeia Backup
Agents, manage the target media, and drive the Web Graphical User
Interface of the Arkeia Network Backup Suite. The Arkeia Physical
Appliance embeds an Arkeia Backup Server.
Target Media: the media on to which the backups are written, whether
tape or disk, are the target media or storage media. The specification
of the target media is a “drivepack”.
DiskStorage (formerly “VTL”): when the target media is disk, we
refer to the media as DiskStorage. DiskStorage can be internal (when
the disk is in the appliance) or external (when the disk is connected
through SCSI, SAS, or FC cables).
Backup Set: the data created by a backup job. Backup Sets may span
storage units (e.g. tapes, disk drives) and may be replicated.
Arkeia Physical Appliance copies the data on clients to be backed up and writes
these data to target media whether internal disk (i.e. DiskStorage), internal tape,
or external tape (including virtual tape libraries). This guide covers only
backups to Arkeia Physical Appliance’s internal disk, though backups to internal
and external tape drives are also supported.
A backup job can be run immediately or at a scheduled time. An immediate
backup job is launched interactively and runs only once.
A scheduled backup job runs at a specified date and time in the future, whether
once or repeated at regular intervals. Once configured, backup jobs are started
by the Arkeia Physical Appliance without the need for operator intervention.
Reports can be sent automatically upon errors or upon job completion.
10 Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide
4.1.2. How is a Backup Job Created?
This brief introduction will focus on backups to DiskStorage. To create a
backup job using the Appliance’s Integrated DiskStorage:
1. Add one or more Arkeia client computers containing the data to be
backed up. The data in more than one computer can be backed up in a
single job.
2. Create a new, or select an existing Savepack, which contains the paths
to the data to be backed up.
3. Select Arkeia Physical Appliance’s pre-configured DiskStorage
Drivepack as the device to write the backup data.
4. If the backup is to run later, or at regular intervals, set the schedule with
the wizard. If the backup job is to run immediately, launch it now.
4.2. Getting Ready to Backup Your Data
4.2.1. Login to the Appliance
The system should now be installed and the Arkeia Physical Appliance can now
be configured for network backups. Enter the URL or IP Address of your Arkeia
Physical Appliance to connect to the Web Interface.
Login using the default user “root” with no password, as done previously.

Arkeia Physical Appliance users are individuals who can log in and perform
various backup tasks. Note that a “User” is the lowest grade of appliance users.
There are three user categories:
Arkeia Application Users are independent of system users at the OS level. To
add users, navigate to
Configure Users
4.2.3. Adding Clients
The appliance communicates over the LAN with clients. Clients are computers
that have the Arkeia Backup Agent software installed on them.
Before a client can be made known to the Arkeia Physical Appliance, forward
and reverse Name Resolution must be setup and verified via external DNS or
the Arkeia Physical Appliance and the Clients Host files.
1. Cross populate the "hosts" files on both the Arkeia Physical Appliance
and on the client machines.
Edit the “hosts” file of the client machines to list the IP address, fully
qualified domain name (FQDN), and any alias for the Arkeia Physical
Appliance.
3. Download the correct client package for your OS and Architecture, then
install the Arkeia package on the client machine. Client packages are
available here: http://www.arkeia.com/r/client
EXAMPLES
LINUX RPM: rpm -Uvh arkeia-x.x.x.i386.rpm

4.4. Schedule a Backup
A scheduled backup job is defined to begin in the future and can be made to
repeat at regular intervals.
4.4.1. Backup Levels
A comprehensive backup schedule uses a combination of regular total backups,
with more frequent backups of only the changed files. A backup policy might
have a monthly total, weekly total and daily incremental backups. Different
retention periods might be assigned to monthly, weekly, and daily backups.
All scheduled backups (aka “periodic” backups) are defined at one of three
levels of priority.
EXAMPLE:
the monthly would be assigned to Level 1
the weekly would be assigned Level 2
the daily would be assigned Level 3
On days when a Level 1 backup is scheduled, the Level 2 and 3 backups are
not run. On days when a Level 2 backup is scheduled, the Level 3 backup is
not run.
Arkeia Physical Appliance Installation and Configuration Guide 17
The Backup Scheduled Wizard provides an easy method to creating scheduled
backup jobs to meet your backup policy needs. The Scheduled Job can also be
manually created using the Expert Mode option,
4.4.2. Create a New Backup Schedule
Follow these four steps to create a new backup schedule.
1. Add client computers. Install Arkeia Backup Agent software on
machines that have data to be backed up. See Section 4.2.3 for
details.

see the results of your scheduling efforts. The calendar shows what
backups will take place in the future, based on the policies that you
have defined. Navigate to:
Backup When to Backup Scheduled Backup Calendar
4.5. Restore Data
To restore data from a backup, you will need to:
Know the file name or part of the file name
Know the version of the file
Instruct Arkeia Network Backup where to put the recovered data
CAUTION: If you are experimenting to see how restores
work, consider the consequences of restoring your (older)
backed up files over (current) working files. It may be wise
to redirect the restored files, or do your trial runs in an
isolated, non-production environment.
For this example we will restore a file “with redirection” to prevent over-writing
existing data. Navigate to Restore
1. Select the Files to Restore. Begin in the Select File tab. First,
specify the range of backup jobs from which your target files should be
restored. Choose backup job names for “From” and “To” in the dropdowns. Then specify the files that you want to restore by using the file
navigator to browse your Backup Sets.
2. Choose Where to Restore the Files. Select the Redirection tab.
Each of the files to be restored will appear in the “Source” dropdown.
Select one file. The same path and filename will appear in the
“Destination” dropdown.
Be sure to edit the value in the “Destination” field. You can either edit
the destination manually or you can “browse” button to the right of the
field. You can specify a different file name, a different directory path, or
a different client machine…or all three.

6.4. Contacting Support
For technical support assistance, the fastest path is to use our Technical
Support Ticket System. If you have a username/password, log in at
http://www.arkeia.com/r/support; if you are an evaluator and don't yet have a
username/password, submit a case at http://www.arkeia.com/r/logcase. The first
steps in any support case are always for us to learn the details of your
environment and a characterization of the issues you’ve encountered. Typically,
this requires information (e.g. listings of systems files) that are more easily
communicated using the Technical Support Ticket System than by telephone
