Configuring disaster recovery using GUI
You can set up and configure disaster recovery using the NetBackup Flex Scale GUI.
To configure disaster recovery using GUI
- Log in to the NetBackup Flex Scale GUI of the cluster from which you want to configure disaster recovery. After the disaster recovery configuration is complete, this cluster will act as the primary site.
- Go to Settings > Master service replication. Click Configure.
- Enter the configuration details for the primary and secondary site.
Replication and heartbeat IP address for the primary and secondary sites. Provide IPv4 or IPv6 addresses according to the network configuration.
Management server IPv4/IPv6 address or FQDN.
Appliance administrator username and password of the secondary site.
Secondary storage credentials which will be used to create a new storage user for the secondary site.
Click Configure.
- Verify the security certificate information of the secondary site that is displayed. Click Trust.
- A warning pop-up appears that existing images, if any, on secondary site will be erased. Click Erase images to continue with disaster recovery configuration.
- Disaster recovery configuration is initiated. You are required to log in to the clusters again after the certificates are exchanged. This takes a few minutes.
You can monitor the configuration from Settings > Master service replication for both the clusters. On the primary site, all the sub tasks can be seen in progress.
On the second cluster only 'Configure replication' task appears.
- After the configuration is complete, you can also check the status by navigating to Settings > Master service replication for the both clusters. This shows the information specific to primary and secondary site with some common information. You can also check the replication status in the Services section of the Dashboard.
