JetStream DR Admin Guide

Configuring a recovery site for failover involves provisioning a vSphere environment and installing JetStream DR. This step is required for both modes of failover operation. Follow these steps to configure the recovery site.

1. Allocate compute resources and provision vSphere at the recovery site, as needed. 

• The compute resources at the recovery site must be able to run an MSA, a DRVA, and the VMs to be failed over.
• Ensure the network is properly configured per the guidelines described in Chapter 2: Pre-installation.

2. Deploy an MSA at the recovery site. 

3. Register the new MSA with vCenter at the recovery site.

4. Configure a cluster and one or more DRVAs at the recovery site.

5. At the recovery site, add the storage site using the same credentials that were used for the protected site.

• Make sure it points to the same object store originally used for the protected site.

6. After a recovery site has been prepared, import a protected domain to failover to it.
