Important things to consider before starting JSDR protection:

  • Azure Storage account (blob storage) with Hierarchical namespace enabled is not supported.
  • If Azure Blob Storage is used, an object retention policy is applied. The default policy is seven (7) days. It is recommended (but not mandatory) to set the object retention policy to one (1) day for this release. Modifying the retention policy requires extra configuration steps.
  • A secure communication channel (https with publicly trusted certificates) between the DR object storage site and both the protected site and recovery sites must be established.
  • Essential services including LDAP, Active Directory, DNS, and DHCP should be established per the JetStream prerequisites list on the Protected site and Recovery site.
