Installing JetPatch Overview

Process

If you haven't already, download the JetPatch OVA file and Virtual Appliance Console Credentials.

The download file contains the JetPatch Agent Manager for Azure Site Recovery, pre-installed on a CentOS 7.7 server. The OVA is about 2.4GB.
If you are using the vSphere desktop client, use File->Deploy OVF Template (as detailed below). Or, if you are using VMware vSphere web client, follow these instructions.
General sizing information can be found here.

Import the virtual appliance:
- In your vSphere client, from the File menu, select Deploy OVF Template:
- Type or browse to the location of the provided OVA, and click Next:
- Continue through the wizard with the appropriate settings for your environment. The virtual appliance automatically allocates a 16GB disk for itself, but if you select Thin Provisioned further on in the wizard, the virtual appliance initially only takes up less than 4B.
- By default, the created VM will get a dynamic IP address via DHCP, that can be modified if required.
For virtual machine specs, see article.
It’s recommended to log into the VM with SSH and change the default root password, which is jetpatch123456. Log in as root, and you will be asked to re-enter and then change the password immediately.

1. To configure the JetPatch server hostname you have 2 options:

-a. Using Network Manager Interface:

-b. Using manual command bellow:

set HOSTNAME to the new hostname using the following command
- ```
hostnamectl set-hostname jetpatch.example.com
```

Make sure the hostname is accessible by local applications:

Run:
```
hostname -f
```
If the correct hostname is returned, it is available to applications and you're done with this.

By default, the OVA should be configured with a dynamic IP. To confirm, cat the network card. (Example: cat ifcfg-ens32)

If it is not set to dhcp, you can use nmtui, otherwise, try the following:

#vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts --- Path of the Network cards
# vi ifcfg-eth0 or ifcfg-ens32 (depends system to system)
Once the below details are added needed to restart the network service
#systemctl restart network or service network restart (depends system to system)

Assign static IP to JetPatch server. Link to article
