This is an example of an AROVA deployment script being invoked. In this example, primary and secondary regions and zones are configured and the subscription ID is included.


python3 ./arova-cli.py deploy \

  --src-pri-zone us-central1-a  --src-sec-zone us-central1-b \

  --dest-pri-zone us-east1-b  --dest-sec-zone us-east1-c \

  --sa arova-sa \

  --subscription-id f70aa3b2-14c2-43b9-9038-000000000000 \

  --project arova-project 


Important: The above command is an illustrative example only and should not be directly used.

    • The deployment script performs the following:
      • Creates a 2-disks AROVA VM (boot and data).
      • Installs and configures required services.
      • Configures the appliance with a specific set of RP regions and provides the ARO subscription key used for metering and billing.
      • After being powered on, AROVA starts an initialization procedure:
        • Configures AROVA Configuration DB (CDB).
        • Starts ACD asynchronous replication into the secondary region.
    • Protection of production VMs can be started from the AROVA UI after ACD initial replication is complete.
