WARNING: You can add more disks after the initial installation but you won't be able to remove them once they start being used. Please check adding disks for more information.


Network & Firewall
Redgate Clone does not support changing the IP address of the VM once it has been installed. For this reason, Redgate Clone requires a static IP address. If your network uses a DHCP server to assign IP addresses, you should add a reservation so that your nodes' IP addresses do not change.

The following ports should be available on the host.

Port Purpose
8800 Admin Console
8132 Web API used by the CLI
30900, 30902 and 30903 Monitoring
32767-60000 (by default)

Range of ports to randomly select from for new data containers.
Can be changed in Admin Console during the set up.


Other requirements and notes can be found in the product documentation.
