JetStream DR Administrator's Guide (version 5.x)

A recovery site for failover must be provisioned with the vSphere environment and have JSDR software installed. This is required for all modes of failover operation. Follow these steps to configure a 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 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.
