Replication from on-premises to AWS - Windows

In this scenario, data is replicated from an on-premises data center to an on-cloud data center.

Sample configuration

The following graphic illustrates the configuration.

Prerequisites

Ensure that the following requirements are met before you proceed with the configuration:

  • Required ports are open for communication between an on-premise data center and an on-cloud data center.

    For details, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide - Windows.

  • The virtual private IP addresses are plumbed on both the nodes.

  • The virtual private IP addresses are configured within the subnet.

Setting up replication

The following procedure lists high-level tasks to configure replication from an on-premises data center to a cloud data center.

To set up replication from on-premises to AWS

  1. Using AWS portal, create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with a valid CIDR block, for example 10.239.0.0/16.
  2. Create a subnet in the VPC created and assign it to an Availability Zone.
  3. Create an EC2 instance and associate it with the VPC created.
  4. Configure a virtual private gateway and associate it to the VPC.
  5. Configure a gateway in the on-premise data center.
  6. Create route table entries.
  7. Associate the subnet with the route table.
  8. Enable route propagation to automatically propagate the routes to the table.

    On the Route Propagation tab in the details pane, choose Edit, and select the virtual private gateway that you created.

  9. Create a VPN connection.
  10. Download the VPN configuration file.
  11. Create a VPN tunnel between the on-premise network and the on-cloud network.
  12. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on EC2 instances in both the data centers.
  13. Create VxVM disk groups, VxVM volumes, Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.
  14. Set up replication between the on-premise and on-cloud instances.
  15. Verify the status of replication.
    # vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name

    Ensure that the replication status shows:
