Quick Start - Introduction

Getting Started

This introduction outlines the steps we will may need to perform to use the Rubrik vCD Plugin.

The quick start is broken up into 2 sections:

  • Rubrik Plugin Configuration

  • CORS Configuration

Rubrik Plugin

The Rubrik Plugin is a self-contained package that can be uploaded into Cloud Director which provides self-service capability to both Providers and Tenants.

CORS Configuration (Pre-Release Plugin with 5.2 DA1 Only)

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is a mechanism that uses additional HTTP headers to tell browsers to give a web application running at one origin, access to selected resources from a different origin.

Configuration of CORS is required using the Rubrik API to enable requests from the plugin when installed in vCloud Director.

Nginx Reverse Proxy

In Rubrik CDM 5.1.x and earlier, an Nginx proxy is a mandatory requirement. A basic reverse proxy configuration guide can be found under advanced installation:
