After the JetStream MSA has been deployed and registered with the vCenter Server, various settings must be configured before protection can be initiated.

JetStream DR is configured in vCenter at the datacenter level. The software is first deployed to the compute cluster and then IO Filter software is installed on all nodes of the cluster. There are four aspects of the system which must be configured prior to starting protection:

  1. Configure the cluster with the IO Filter package
  2. Install and configure a DRVA
  3. Add a storage site
  4. Create a protected domain


Each process is represented as a tab in the user interface. An additional set of steps can optionally be performed to configure alert notifications. Work through the configuration steps described for each process tab.
