You need to consider and act upon the following tasks after you have set up the Forge appliance:
(Optional; for international versions) Set up PlateSpin Forge and your browser for use in a specific supported language. See Language Setup for International Versions of PlateSpin Forge
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide.
Configure appliance host networking to separate replication or failover traffic from your main production network. See Setting up Appliance Host Networking
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide.
(Optional) Set up appropriate role-based access settings as required by your organization. See Setting Up User Authorization and Authentication
in your User Guide. In particular, ensure that you immediately change the default Administrator password (see Changing the PlateSpin Forge Administrator Password
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide).
Configure SMTP settings and add email notification recipients. For information, see Setting Up Automatic Email Notifications of Events and Reports
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide.
(Optional) Add additional data storage capacity to Forge. See Using External Storage Solutions with PlateSpin Forge
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide.
Familiarize yourself with the PlateSpin Forge Web Interface (see Up and Running
in your User Guide), as well as the workload protection life cycle (Basic Workflow for Workload Protection and Recovery
in the PlateSpin Forge 4.0 User Guide).
