      Setting up replication across AWS and Azure environments

Replication across AZs in an AWS region - Windows

In this scenario, data is replicated between two on-cloud data centers that are located in different Availability Zones within a same region.

The following diagram illustrates a sample configuration for setting up replication between data centers that are located in different Availability Zones within a same region.

Replication across Availability Zones
Setting up replication across AZs within the same region

Perform the steps in the following procedure to set up replication across AZs within the same region.

To set up replication across AZs within the same region

  1. Create a VPC with a valid CIDR block, for example, 10.0.0.0/16.
  2. Create the internet gateway and attach it to the VPC.
  3. Modify the VPC route table such that the two instances across availability zones can communicate with each other using private IP addresses.
  4. Create two subnets - one subnet for the primary site in AZ1 and the second subnet for the secondary site in AZ2 with valid CIDR range, for example 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 respectively.
  5. Launch the EC2 instances in the primary and secondary subnets. Install InfoScale on the instances.
  6. Verify connectivity between the virtual private IP addresses of the instances.
    # ping PIP
  7. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on EC2 instances in both the data centers.
  8. Create VxVM disk groups, VxVM volumes, Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.
  9. Set up replication between the instances using private IP address or virtual private IP address.
  10. Verify the status of replication.
    # vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name

    Ensure that the status shows:
