Prerequisites for deploying Backup proxy

• The IP address / Network being provided to the Druva Backup Proxy must be able to communicate to Druva Cloud (phoenix.druva.com) on port 443.
• Druva does not support Prism Element or Prism Central passwords that contain the character @ (at sign). If the password for a Prism on which a Backup proxy is deployed contains "@", change the password to remove this sign before you register and configure the Backup proxy.
• The Backup proxy must be deployed to a datastore that has a minimum of 110 GB free space.
• You must have the Web Proxy credentials (If you use a Web proxy in your environment)
• You must have the IP settings details. Ensure you have dynamic IP support to use the DHCP option. For static IP details, you need to provide the following:
  • DNS
  • IP Address
  • Netmask
  • Gateway

    Note: You can add two static IPs and one dynamic IP.

• It is mandatory to assign the iSCSI Data Services IP address in the Prism Element. For more information, see  Configure Data Services IP.
