Prepare Recovery Site
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.
- 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.
- Deploy an MSA at the recovery site.
- Register the new MSA with vCenter at the recovery site.
- Configure a cluster and one or more DRVAs at the recovery site.
- 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.
- After a recovery site has been prepared, import a protected domain to failover to it.
