Enterprise Local Cloud

Deploy the Enterprise Local Cloud
1. Extract the downloaded .zip file to a folder on your computer. Please make sure that the hard disk partition has sufficient space to store the virtual disks that will contain your data. Using VMware Workstation, open the virtual machine in this folder as shown.
2. You now need to attach a 2nd hard disk device to it, by clicking on the link Edit Virtual Machine Settings. This hard disk will act as the storage device for your Enterprise Local Cloud. The hard disk type must be SCSI, and the recommended size of the disk is the amount of data that will be stored on this Enterprise Local Cloud. This step is mandatory. Enterprise Local Cloud will not start without the 2nd hard disk.

You may now click Finish to save the virtual machine settings. To increase the size of the storage made available to this VM in the future, simply attach another SCSI hard disk to the VM. The VM will recognize the new device, and expand its storage volume to add it. 3. Power on the VM to configure it.

Starting the Enterprise Local Cloud VM
1. As the VM starts up, it should recognize your newly added storage and create a file system on it. You can observe the startup progress of the VM on the console. 2. Once ELC has started up, click the Console tab. You will be presented with a console from where you can log in to Egnyte Enterprise Local Cloud. 3. If your host network does not have DHCP enabled, the VM may fail to get an IP address dynamically. In this case, you will need to select Configure Network from the console and set a static IP address. 4. In the Console tab, you will be presented with an IP address to launch Egnyte Enterprise Local Cloud.

Configure the Enterprise Local Cloud VM
1. Once an IP address is obtained for the ELC Virtual Appliance, log into any browser using http://ipaddress:8806 You will be presented with a login page to enter the default credentials below. username: root password: egnyteelc 2. If you are an existing Egnyte user, click on Yes, I have an account and skip to step 4. If you do not have an Egnyte account, click on No, I dont have an account to sign up.
3. New Users can sign up using the Egnyte trial registration.

4. You will be presented with the Virtual Appliance Configuration screen. Read the instructions and click Continue.
You will receive a notification for an untrusted connection. Click on I understand the Risks and continue
5. Next step is to Configure ELC VM. You will be presented with a login page to enter the credentials below. username: root password: egnyteelc

6. Verify the System Information settings and adjust the appropriate Time Zone of the ELCs location.
7. If you are not integrating with AD, you need to create local users that correspond to your Egnyte users by clicking on Users > Add Users. We recommend using identical usernames as the usernames on Egnytes Cloud File Server (CFS). The passwords set here will be utilized by the users to connect to the local share.
Clicking on List Users will show you the list of local users on the VM, and allow you to make changes to them.

Active Directory Integration
To configure the VM to perform user authentication against an existing Active Directory (AD) domain, please perform the following actions. 1. From the Network Tab, configure your VM to have a static IP address, and set the primary DNS server of the VM to the IP address of your AD Domain Controller (DC). Also set the hostname of the VM to conform with the domain you will be joining.
Note: From the System Tab, please make sure you have configured the time zone correctly to match your DC as well. 2. From the Users Tab > Security Mode, choose AD and enter the required parameters as shown. On saving the settings, the machine will bind to the domain, and pop-up a message indicating success or failure. If you are unable to join the domain successfully, the Status indicators will display the failure(s).
3. Clicking on the Users tab should show you the list of users that have been imported from the AD domain, but you will not be allowed to delete users or change passwords here. 4. Upon adding AD or Local Users, click on Configure Enterprise Local Cloud tab and click on the button under Actions. If prompted to leave the page, click on Leave this page.

Configure Enterprise Local Cloud Sync
1. Enter the Egnyte Cloud File Server username, password, and domain. You will need to enter the Egnyte administrator credentials here.
If your browser pops up an alert to authenticate as the VM administrator, enter username: root password: egnyteelc. This is to ensure that only the administrator may access the sync settings page. 3. After entering your Egnyte account information, follow the next three steps to sync files from CFS to Enterprise Local Cloud: a. Select the folder(s) that you wish to synchronize from the cloud file server. You must select at least one folder to continue.
b. Map the users on the VM (local/AD) to the users in your CFS domain. The dropdowns are populated automatically based on usernames, but you may modify the mapping manually if you wish to do so.
10
c.
Start the initial synchronization. The initial synchronization pulls down folders and files from your Egnyte CFS, and sets permissions on them accordingly. If ELC VM already contains a copy of the cloud data, this process is completed much faster.
5. Once the initial synchronization has completed, your users can now access the network share from the VM. For PC users, open My Computer, and click on menu item Tools > Map Network Drive. The folder name to be used is: \\VM.IP.ADDRESS\ELC For Mac users, open Finder, and click on menu item Go > Connect To Server. The location to be used is: smb://VM.IP.ADDRESS/ELC 6. You will be presented with an authentication window to access the share. Enter either your AD credentials or Egnyte username and password and click OK. You are now ready to use the Enterprise Local Cloud!
