Four or five segments: Dedicated management, dedicated internal data, dedicated replication log, and dedicated object replication segments


Figure 5: Four or five network segments – All traffic types are on dedicated segments.

  • This configuration adds a dedicated network for internal data (IOFilter and internal ISCSI for RocVA and RVM during recovery operations)
    • Not suitable for AVS as the ESXi hosts and vCenter are on a restricted/hidden network.
    • Not suitable for AVS deployments or where virtual disks are used for replication log volumes.
    • DHCP is required on this internal data network for RVM as they are deployed during restore operations.
      • Ensure that the DHCP IP address range is equal to or larger than the total number of VMs being recovered simultaneously.
      • Each RVM requires an IP address and represents one VM being recovered.
  • All JetStream appliances (except RVM) are connected to the shared management network segment.
  • DRVA(s) will be deployed with 4 or 5 network interfaces (5 with iSCSI multipathing).
    • Each DRVA requires 4 or 5 IP addresses (1 per network).
      • Management
      • External Data
      • Internal Data
      • Replication Log
      • Replication Log 2
    • Requires additional gateway/routing planning and configuration.
  • RocVA(s) will be deployed with 3 network interfaces.
    • Each RocVA requires 3 IP addresses (1 per network)
      • Management
      • External Data
      • Internal Data
    • Requires additional gateway/routing planning and configuration.
  • RVM(s) will be deployed with a single network interface connected to the internal data network segment.
  • MSA continues to access object storage for management/orchestration operations using its single network interface attached to the management network segment.
  • This is the most complex configuration and will require careful planning and configuration of network gateways and routing to enable all components to access specific endpoints via the appropriate network segment.
