      Setting up replication across AWS and Azure environments

Replication across AWS regions - Windows

In this scenario, replication is set up across Availability Zones configured in different regions. The configuration uses software VPN Openswan/OpenVPN to connect the VPCs across different regions.

The following diagram illustrates a sample configuration for setting up replication across regions.

Setting up replication across regions

Perform the steps in the following procedure to set up replication across regions.

To set up replication across regions

  1. Create two VPCs with valid CIDR blocks in different regions, for example, 10.30.0.0/16 and 10.60.0.0/16 respectively.
  2. Create a primary site EC2 instance.
  3. Create a primary site VPN instance, which belongs to the same VPC as that of the primary EC2 instance.
  4. Modify the route table on the primary site. Ensure that the route table entry directs the secondary site traffic through the primary site VPN instance.
  5. Create a secondary site EC2 instance.
  6. Create a secondary site VPN instance, which belongs to the same VPC as that of the secondary EC2 instance.
  7. Modify the route table on the secondary site. Ensure that the route table entry directs the primary site traffic through the secondary site VPN instance.
  8. Set up connectivity across regions using software VPN.
  9. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on the EC2 instances in both the data centers.
  10. Create VxVM disk groups, VxVM volumes, Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.
  11. Set up replication between the instances using the private IP address or virtual private IP address.
  12. Verify the status of replication.
    # vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name

    Ensure that the replication status shows:
