Important things to consider before starting JSDR protection:

  • Azure Storage account (blob storage) with Hierarchical namespace enabled is not supported.
  • If customer uses Azure blob storage, it has objects retention policy. Default policy is 7 days. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to set objects retention policy to 1 day for this release. Setting retention policy requires extra configuration step.
  • User must establish a secure communication channel between the DR object storage site and both the protected site and recovery sites.
  • Essential services including LDAP, Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP should be established as per the JetStream prerequisites list on the Protected site and Recovery site.
