Deploying the Stratus One View Console

Deploy the One View Console by importing the One View appliance, or virtual machine (VM), onto a system that supports virtual machines. The following procedure describes how to import the appliance on an everRun system, but you can also deploy the appliance on an Avance unit or VirtualBox system.

To deploy the One View appliance on an everRun system, use the everRun Availability Console to import the VM's OVF file and its associated VHD volume file from your management PC.

Caution: If you plan to configure Disaster Recovery protection for your VMs, deploy the One View appliance on a system at your DR site, not at the primary site. If you deploy the One View appliance at the primary site, the One View Console will be unavailable for DR failover operations in the event of a failure at the primary site.

To prepare for deploying the One View appliance

Download the One View OVF and VHD files to your management PC from the everRun Downloads and Support page at http://www.stratus.com/go/support/everrun.

To import the One View appliance on an everRun system

  1. Log on to the everRun system with the everRun Availability Console.
  2. On the Virtual Machines page, click Import/Restore to open the import wizard.
  3. If prompted, allow the required Java plugins to load in your web browser. For information, see the everRun Availability Console online help and your Java documentation.
  4. Click Browse. In the file browser, select the One View.ovf file to import from your management PC and click Import.
  5. If prompted to Import or Restore, click Import to create a new instance of the VM.

  6. Review the import summary. Optionally, clear the check box for Auto start Virtual Machine after import if you want to prevent the One View appliance from starting immediately after the import.

    Note: Do not modify the default resource settings of the One View appliance unless specifically instructed by your authorized Stratus service representative.

  7. Click Import to begin importing the One View appliance. When the transfer is complete, click Done to close the import wizard.

  8. Continue the One View installation process by obtaining the initial IP address that you will use to access the One View Console, as described in Obtaining and Setting the Initial IP Address for the Stratus One View Console.
