Environment


Reload 5

Situation


Customer has a SLES 11 Server in the Amazon Cloud

Resolution

1. Install Reload on the SLES11 Server in the Amazon Cloud:

sudo su

rpm -ivh <reload rpm>

2. Configure a Reload Server Profile on the Reload Server in the Amazon Cloud. The connection type is "Paired".

3. Install the Reload Collector software on the GroupWise server that houses the post office and/or domain to be backed up to the Reload Server in the Amazon Cloud.

4. Make sure that on the GroupWise Server the /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file is created. It it is not created, follow the steps in the article: Resolving Reload Collector Connectivity Errors

5. Copy the /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub from the GroupWise Server to the SLES Server in the Amazon cloud to the following file:

/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

NOTE: We used WINSCP to copy the file: id_rsa.pub from the GroupWise Server to a local drive on a Windows workstation. Then we copied the id_rsa.pub to the /tmp directory on the SLES Server in the Amazon Cloud. Then in a putty session we copied the file in this manner:

cp /tmp/id_rsa.pub /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

6. After step 5, make sure that you can SSH from the GroupWise server to the SLES server in the Amazon Cloud, without a password prompt.

7. Proceed to create and configure the Reload Collector as documented in the Reload Documentation.
