New Network Installation
I just bought below product from Acronis agent and this is my first experience with Acronis product (I was using other product with Standalone installation):
1. Acronis Backup & Restore (ABR) 11 for Advance Server including with universal restore licenses (3 set) for dissimilar hardware.
2. Snap & Deploy (ASD) 4 for Server including with universal restore licenses (3 set) for dissimilar hardware.
3. ASD4 for Workstation including with universal restore licenses (18 set) for dissimilar hardware.
I need some help how to setup/install all products in one (combine) network with below considerations (or please advise my plan below):
1. Lincense 1 (ABR11 Advance Server) to be installed in 3-servers with Windows 2003 SP2 OS.
2. License 3 (ASD4 for Workstation) to be installed in 18-workstations with Windows XP Pro SP3 OS.
3. Lincese 2 (ASD4 for Server) to be install in 3-servers with Windows 2K3 SP2 OS. One of this Server (let call it as Server-X) with ASD4 for server has dual NICs, one NIC connects to same network with 5 severs (3 with ABR11 and 2 with ASD4) and other NIC connects to same network with 18 Workstation (ASD4 for Workstation).
4. Since only Server-X (ASD4 License) has dual NICs so I want to configure Server-X as Management Console and Deploy Server, License Server and everything/resource that required to manage all acronis applications in other (5+18) machines.
Please help me how to do it.
- What step I should do it first?
- Should I install Server-X first and what feature or option to be installed in it?
- How about Server with ABR11, what feature or option to be installed in it and can I backup up / restore them from Server-X?
- How about Workstation with SAD4, what feature or option to be installed in it and can I backup up / restore them from Server-X?
All machnies (6 servers and 18 workstations) are up and running. How ever, I can get prior approval to shutdown and/or restart each machine if required one at the time only.
Thank you very much for any feedback, comment and help.
