This script is used after JetStream DR has been installed. It works in conjunction with the cfo_plan_auto_gen.yml file generated by cpt.py to start continuous failover protection of protected domains at the recovery site. It does the following:

  • Connects recovery storage (object store) to the recovery site. (JetStream in CFO mode must have access to  the object store continuously.)
  • Adds DRVA(s) and configures the replication log at the recovery site.
  • Scans and imports protected domains from the object storage site.
  • Begins continuous failover protection.


Syntax

run_cfo.py -f <edited SCFOP> --vc-user <vc_user> --vc-pwd <vc_passwd> -o <output-dir>


Notes

-f: Denotes the continuous failover protection template (cfo_plan_auto_gen.yml) that has been edited by  the user with site details and is required.

--vc-user: Denotes the vCenter Server username.

--vc-pwd: Denotes the vCenter Server password. This is an optional command line input (to be used with scripts). If not included, the user will be prompted to enter the password during execution.

-o: Denotes the directory where the output files will be saved. This parameter is optional.


Example

  • Execute a CFO plan to start continuous failover of protected domains to the recovery site.

run_CFO.py -f cfo_plan_auto_gen.yml --vc-user <vcenter_username> --vc-pwd <vcenter_passwd> -o /tmp
