Overview

To deploy inSync CloudCache Server for your inSync setup, you must first add inSync CloudCache Server by using inSync Management Console. inSync Cloud generates a registration key for each inSync CloudCache Server that you add. This key acts as a unique identifier to establish a connection between inSync Cloud and inSync CloudCache Server. If you are using a proxy server, you can add the proxy server details to the inSync CloudCache Server configuration file. The inSync CloudCache Server connects to the Cloud Master and Cloud Storage through a proxy server. After you install inSync CloudCache Server, you must use this registration key to register the server.

Step 1 of 6: Enable inSync CloudCache Server

To enable inSync CloudCache Server, submit a request to Support.

Step 2 of 6: Add inSync CloudCache Server

Procedure

To add inSync CloudCache Server

  2. On the inSync Management Console menu bar, click settingwheel1.jpg > CloudCache Servers. The Manage CloudCache Servers page appears.
  3. Click Add New CloudCache Server. The Add New CloudCache Server window appears.
  4. To copy the registration key to your clipboard, click Copy Key
  5. In a text editor, paste the key that you copied in step 4.   
  6. To download the inSync CloudCache Server installer, click Download & install CloudCache Server.
  7. Click Done.

Step 3 of 6: Install inSync CloudCache Server 

Before you begin

Ensure you have the administrator privileges on the computer where you want to install the inSync CloudCache Server.

Procedure

To install inSync CloudCache Server

  1. Double-click the inSync CloudCache Server installer. The CloudCache Server Installation wizard appears. Click Next
  2. Accept the License Agreement, and then click Next.
  3. In the Install Location box, type the path to the installation home directory or click Browse to select the location of the installation home directory.
  4. (Optional) If you want the inSync CloudCache Server shortcut icon to appear on your desktop, select the Desktop shortcut check box.

  5. Click Install. 
  6. After the installation completes, click Finish.

Note: You can view the version of the inSync CloudCache Server that you have installed, in the inSyncCacheServer.log file located in the C:\inSyncCacheServer directory.

(Optional) Step 4 of 6: Add the Proxy Server Details to the inSync CloudCache Server Configuration File

Before you begin

The inSync CloudCache Server service creates the inSyncCacheServer.cfg file at C:\inSyncCacheServer. Ensure that this file is created before you proceed.

Note: inSync CloudCache Server cannot connect to inSync Master using pre-defined system proxy settings. You must manually add the Proxy Server details in the inSync CloudCache Server configuration file.

Procedure

To add the proxy server details

  1. On the computer where you installed the inSync CloudCache Server, stop the inSync Cache Server service.
  2. Open the inSync CloudCache Configuration file (C:\inSyncCacheServer\inSyncCacheServer.cfg) in a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. In the inSync CloudCache Server configuration file, add the following parameters and their respective proxy server details.
    Parameter Description
    PROXY_SERVER

    PROXY_SERVER = "IPorFQDN:PORT"

    Where:
    IPorFQDN is the IP address or the FQDN of the proxy server.

    PORT is the port number for the proxy server that is using HTTP, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5.

    Example:
    PROXY_SERVER = “192.168.54.100:1080”

    WPAD_URL

    WPAD_URL = "PACFILE_URL"

    Where:
    PACFILE_URL Is the location of the PAC file for your proxy server.

    PROXY_TYPE

    PROXY_TYPE=”TYPE”

    Where:
    TYPE is the protocol that is being used by your proxy server. inSync supports HTTP, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxy protocols.

    Example:
    PROXY_TYPE=”HTTP”

    Note: If you do not specify this parameter, by default, the proxy type is set to SOCKS5.

    PROXY_USER

    PROXY_USER=”USER”

    Where:
    USER is the user name required for authentication at the proxy server. This is required only if you are using a proxy server that requires authentication.

    PROXY_PASSWD

    PROXY_PASSWD=”PASSWD"

    Where:
    PASSWD is the password required for authentication at the proxy server. This is required only if you are using a proxy server that requires authentication.

  4. Save the inSyncCacheServer.cfg file.
  5. Start the inSync Cache Server service.

(Optional )Step 5 of 6: Change the default LAN port to use a custom port

inSync Client uses the LAN port to communicate with inSync CloudCache Server. inSync Client uses the default port 6061 on inSync CloudCache Server version 5.8.

As an administrator, if you want to change the default communication port to a custom port, you can do it by editing the inSyncCacheServer.cfg file located in the <Installation directory>\inSyncCacheServer directory.

You cannot change the port on an already registered inSync CloudCache Server. It is a one time process.

Pre-requisites

  • Ensure the inSync CloudCache Server is not already registered.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where you installed the inSync CloudCache Server, stop the inSync Cache Server service.
  2. Open the inSync CloudCache Configuration file (C:\inSyncCacheServer\inSyncCacheServer.cfg) in a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. In the inSync CloudCache Server configuration file, locate the SYNC_PORT parameter.
  4. Update the port number value to your desired port number value. Example: From port 6061 to port 2001.
  5. Save the inSyncCacheServer.cfg file.
  6. Start the inSync Cache Server service.
  7. Register the inSync CloudCache Server.

Step 6 of 6: Register inSync CloudCache Server

Procedure

To register inSync CloudCache Server

  1. On the computer where you have installed the inSync CloudCache Server, search for the Druva inSync CloudCache Server Configuration app, and open the app. The inSync Cache Server Configuration wizard appears.
