Obtaining client ID and key
Before you install and configure the Discovery Agent, you must obtain the client ID and client key for the appliance (this does not apply to Cloud Accelerator virtual appliances for Azure and ESXi) or server from the Cloud Portal. You must enter the client ID and client key either during installation or when you configure the Discovery Agent.
1. Log in to the Cloud Portal.
2. Select the Cloud Appliances tab and choose Optimization Groups to display the Optimization Groups page.
3. Select a group name to display the Optimization Group Summary page for the group. Select the Group Members tab to display the Group Members page. If the group already contains the server or the Cloud Accelerator on which you want to configure the Discovery Agent, its name appears in the Name column. If not, add the server or Cloud Accelerator to the group.
4. Select the server or the Cloud Accelerator name in the Name column to display the Optimization Group Member Details page. When you add a Cloud Accelerator or a virtual server to the optimization group, the Cloud Portal generates a client ID and client key that identifies it.
5. Copy the client ID and client key displayed on this page into a text editor.
6. Read and accept the license agreement, and click Next to display the Riverbed Discovery Agent Configuration page.
7. Select the cloud type (AWS or Other) from the drop-down list. You can choose one of these actions:
– Enter the client ID and client key in the installation wizard to automatically configure the Discovery Agent and have it communicate with the Cloud Portal.
– Click Skip and specify the client ID and client key when you configure the Discovery Agent.
– Not specify these values (if you are using the manual mode to configure the Discovery Agent).
8. Select Use Proxy to connect to Cloud Portal to specify a proxy IP address or hostname when connecting to the Cloud Portal.
9. Select Use Local Portal to configure the Discovery Agent using the local portal mode, and click Next. Select a folder in which the Discovery Agent should be installed, and click Install.
10. Click Finish to complete the installation.
The Discovery Agent starts automatically and the Riverbed icon appears on the system tray. A gray icon signifies that the Discovery Agent service is starting or has failed to start. If the Discovery Agent does not start, reboot the system and check that the Discovery Agent starts after rebooting.
