Basic Topology for Linux ROBO

Basic topology provides the minimum required connections for the data protection network.

In this topology, the node requires connections to 1 - 10 GbE port for data protection network, which transfers data to and from the clients being protected and connect to the CommServe server.

Use this procedure to deploy the Linux ROBO software using the Linux ROBO ISO 3.2408 or higher version.

Note

Basic topology is the easiest option to setup and deploy. However, this setup does not provide network redundancy, and is recommended only for non-production use, or if you do not have the required port availability for redundant connections.

Network Requirements

The following network names and IP addresses are required for the basic topology:

Node

CommServe Requirements

You will require the following information to connect to an existing CommServe server:

CommServe hostname (FQDN)

Fully qualified hostname (FQDN) associated with the existing CommServe server.

Note

TCP Ports 8400 & 443 must be open from the nodes to the CommServe server.

Username

Username associated with the admin user.

Password
