Hystax is a cloud migration and Disaster Recovery company focusing on consistent replication of IT workloads and providing real-time migration and Best-In-Class Disaster Recovery.
To deploy the Hystax Acura solution, a customer needs to request Hystax ([email protected]) to provide an AMI and a CloudFormation template of the solution and follow the steps described in this document.
1. Upload Acura and Cloud Agent images to the cloud.
2. Create an image for Acura.
Go to “Compute Engine → Images” section in GCP UI and press “Create image”.
Once the image is created, it is safe to remove the Acura archive from the cloud storage bucket.

3. Create an image for Cloud Agent.
Go to “Compute Engine → Images” section in GCP UI and press “Create image”.
Once the image is created, it is safe to remove the Cloud Agent archive from the cloud storage bucket.
4. Create firewall rules for Acura’s instance.
Go to the “VPC network → Firewall rules” section in GCP UI. Create a new rule.
5. Create firewall rules for Cloud Agent.
During replications, Acura will automatically create Cloud Agent instances and talk to them over the private network. Make sure that there is a firewall rule that permits communication inside your network.
For the “default” network this rule is already created by Google:
If you are going to deploy Acura to a non-default network, create a similar rule for this network:
During replications, Acura will automatically create Cloud Agent instances and talk to them over the private network. Make sure that there is a firewall rule that permits communication inside your network.
For the “default” network this rule is already created by Google:
6. Create Acura instance.
Go to “Compute Engine → VM instances” section in GCP UI and press “Create Instance”.
Press “Create” to run Acura’s instance.
Note that you do not need to create Cloud Agent instances: Acura will run them automatically using the image created earlier.
7. Pass Acura Initial Configuration.
Once the VM is started, wait approximately 20 minutes for it to boot up, then open its external IP in a web browser. Please accept the certificate warnings and then you will see the initial configuration page.
1. Step 1: Enter the organization name and new Hystax Admin User credentials into the Setup Wizard. This will be the user account for logging in to the Hystax Acura Control Panel and managing the system. If there are any errors, the system will notify you.
2. Step 2: Fill in your Hystax License key that was supposed to be shared with you in advance as well as the settings for accessing your mail server, which will be used to send notifications from Acura and generate periodic reports.
Note: SMTP server with TLS/SSL encryption is required to proceed with deployment.
If you prefer a public SMTP server associated with your email address (gmail, yahoo etc.), please find its settings online. In case of a private SMTP server, contact your network administrator for further details.
A sample notification will be sent to the specified “Test email” to verify the functionality when you click “Next”.
3. Step 3: Click the “Next” button.
4. Step 4: Installation is complete, and you can now log in to the system using credentials entered in the previous step.
Hystax Acura automatically checks cloud access and necessary permissions for assuring successful operation. It provides detailed error messages that describe their potential causes. In case of an error, please check the correctness of the data entered and the availability of the necessary permissions.
