Log in as a root user to the machine with Agent for vCloud. The default credentials are:

• User name: root
• Password: Default0 (case-sensitive)

1. Set the time zone to that of the vCloud Director machine. This will enable Agent for vCloud to convert time between user's and vCloud Director's time zones.
2. Find out the time zone of the vCloud Director machine. If you are not sure, log on to the machine and run the date command. The output contains the time zone abbreviation, for example:

   Mon Aug 26 23:00:00 EST 2013

   EST stands for Eastern Time Zone that includes parts of the United States and Canada and some countries in South America. For more abbreviations see http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/.

3. On the machine with Agent for vCloud, in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory, find the file that corresponds to your region and time zone.

   For example, for the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, the time zone file is: /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern

4. Delete the old time zone settings:

   rm -f /etc/localtime

5. Specify the new time zone settings:

   ln -s <time_zone_file> /etc/localtime

   For example:

   ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime

1. Go to the /opt/acronis/vcd-agent/bin folder and run the configure.sh command.

   All available configuration scenarios are shown.

   

2. Choose the Initial agent configuration scenario.
3. Provide the vCloud Director connection parameters:
   • vCloud Director host name or IP address
   • vCloud Director system administrator credentials
4. Provide the credentials of a RabbitMQ Server user. The default credentials are:
   • User name: guest
   • Password: guest
5. Provide the Acronis Management Server connection parameters:
   • Host name or IP address of the management server machine
   • The user name and password of a user who is a member of the Acronis Centralized Admins and Acronis Remote Users group on the management server machine
6. Provide the connection parameters for the SQL Server instance that stores the management server databases.
   

   	SQL Server Express installed by default	Another SQL Server
   Host name/IP address:	Host name or IP address of the management server.	Host name or IP address of the machine with the SQL Server instance used by the management server.
   Port [1433]:	The port that was defined when running the configuration script on the management server. See Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud: Installation of Acronis Management Server. If you do not remember the port number, open SQL Server Configuration Manager on the Management Server, select SQL Server XXXX Network Configuration -> Protocols for ACRONIS, double-click TCP/IP, and check the TCP Port field.	The port number that you assigned to the SQL Server instance during custom installation.
   User name: Password:	The credentials you entered when running the configuration script on the management server. See Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud: Installation of Acronis Management Server.	The user name and password of a user who has access to the management server databases (minimum SQL database role: public)

    

The machine with Agent for vCloud has two network adapters: eth0 for the internal network and eth1 for the external network.

eth0 connects to the internal network where Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud components communicate with VMware vCloud components. It also accepts incoming connections from SSH clients and Web browsers in the internal network.

eth1 accepts incoming connections from Web browsers in the external network. Make sure that your firewall, NAT router and other components of the network security system allow external connection to this adapter through ports 80 and 443.

By default, both adapters take network settings from a DHCP server. You can assign a static IP address to an adapter. For example, to ease port forwarding, you may want to assign a static IP address to the external adapter.

To change Agent for vCloud network settings

1. Run the configure.sh command and choose the Change network settings scenario.
2. Specify network settings for the eth0 adapter.
   • To take the network settings from a DHCP server, press y.
   • To specify the network settings with a static IP address, press n and then:
     1. Specify the static IP address for the adapter, such as: 192.168.0.10
     2. Specify the subnet mask for the adapter, such as: 255.255.0.0
     3. Specify the IP address of the default gateway for the adapter, such as: 192.168.0.1
3. Specify network settings for the eth1 adapter.
   • To take the network settings from a DHCP server, press y.
   • To specify the network settings with a static IP address, press n and then:
     1. Specify the static IP address for the adapter, such as 10.0.0.10
     2. Specify the subnet mask for the adapter, such as: 255.0.0.0

     The command does not prompt for the default gateway, because the adapter is used only for incoming connections.

4. If you configured both adapters to use static IP addresses, specify the following:
   1. In DNS server 1, specify the IP address of the DNS server.
   2. [Optional] In DNS server 2, specify the IP address of the secondary DNS server.

   The DNS server settings apply to both adapters.

   If one of the adapters uses a DHCP server, the DNS server settings for both adapters are taken from that DHCP server.

   If both adapters use DHCP servers, the settings for both adapters are taken from the DHCP server for eth1 (provided that the list of DNS servers there is nonempty).

To view the network settings:

• Run the configure.sh command and choose the Show network settings scenario.

To view the connection parameters:

• Run the configure.sh command and choose the Show agent configuration scenario.

To change the connection parameters:

• Run the configure.sh command, choose the Change agent configuration scenario and then select the connection to change the configuration for.
