a) The folder allows read/write access.
b) You have a user account that will act as the anonymous account, and you know the user ID and
group ID of this account.
To find out the user ID and group ID, run the id
c) All user accounts are mapped to the anonymous account.
To configure the folder this way, enable read/write access for it by using the chmod command, and
then specify the parameters in the /etc/exports configuration file for the folder, as follows:
/opt/backups *(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=65534,anongid=65534)
In this example, the folder name is /opt/backups, and the user ID and group ID of the anonymous
account are 65534 (this is the nfsnobody user account on the NFS server).
1.3 Installing Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud
1.3.1 Preparation
Before starting the installation, please familiarize yourself with the Acronis Backup Advanced for
vCloud architecture (p. 6) and make sure that:
vCloud Director is installed and configured.
Sufficient vSphere resources are available to deploy Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud.
Refer to the exact values in "vSphere capacity requirements" (p. 8).
You have a storage that supports any of the following network protocols: NFS, SMB, FTP, SFTP,
or BSP (protocol for accessing Acronis Backup Storage Node).
Refer to the exact requirements in "Planning backup storages" (p. 9).
You have license keys in a TXT file.
For multiple license keys, the text format is one line per key.
You have the Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloud installation package.
The package consists of:
Acronis Backup Advanced setup program.
Agent for vCloud OVF template.
The script enable_remote_sql_access.js.
You have a virtual machine to install the management server on.
The machine must run a Windows operating system (except for the Start, Home, and RT
editions).
The machine must have network access to the vCenter Server for the resource group and to
the resource group ESX(i) clusters.
The Windows time zone on the machine must be the same as in vCloud Director. (To find out
the vCloud Director time zone, run the date command on the vCloud Director machine.)
Host names in your network are correctly resolved by DNS to IP addresses.
Otherwise, the hosts that you specify during installation and configuration must use constant IP
addresses. Depending on which of the two requirements is met, you specify the hosts by host
names or by IP addresses.
