Configuration of the deployed vRPAs is performed with the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager. This is a tool on your laptop that, using a multi-step process, assigns IP addresses to the RecoverPoint appliances and their various networks and connects these appliances to the VNX array. The previous part of this series discussed the first steps to get into the tool: now it’s time to start entering some configuration data.

If you’ve met the prerequisites described in part one of this series, deploying the virtual RecoverPoint appliances in your VMware environment should be a straightforward task. Download the latest OVF of the vRPA from the EMC support website and deploy it using the vCenter management console.
It has been a while since I’ve written anything about RecoverPoint since my original post on RecoverPoint 4.0 several years ago. To my delight I was recently put on a couple of projects to deploy new virtual RecoverPoint clusters for two customers. Several things had changed since the first appearance of the virtual RecoverPoint Aplliance (RPA), so why not write a small series on the deployment of these appliances? Gotcha’s included!
