Restoring a Protected Domain
JetStream DR can restore a Protected Domain by shifting the primary site to a new (recovery site) location in the cluster.
This function can be used for disaster events where protected compute clusters have failed resulting in data loss or corruption but the primary site’s infrastructure remains undamaged.
Note: Different recovery types are appropriate in different situations. Consult Key Concepts for clarification.
Important: Do not restore a Protected Domain to a location where the Owner Site is "LOCAL." Contact JetStream Support for assistance if you encounter this situation.
DO NOT restore a Protected Domain with this condition; otherwise, the Domain may become irreversibly unrecoverable.
Before restoring a Protected Domain, ensure the following:
- Avoid conflicts between VM names of the restored Domain with current existing VMs.
- If duplicated VMs will occur, the current VMs must be removed from the vCenter Server inventory or renamed before restoring the Domain.
- If you plan to restore to the original site, it is recommended to use a new DRVA to restore the Domain.
- Shut down and delete the old DRVA from the original site before restoring the Domain.
