Initial Setup

The first step in disaster recovery setup is to configure the software.

For each appliance in the quad, you specify that it will be used for disaster recovery and whether the appliance is part of the production or backup site. You also provide any needed IP addresses of other members of the quad.

You are prompted for this information during software initialization of a new appliance. However, you can also add DR configuration later using the dr-config command.

For information about the disaster recovery settings configured during software initialization, see Initializing the Software.
