Disaster Recovery

Note: When you choose the initial EDS pool size, keep in mind that the initial DR synchronization sends the fully allocated EDS store, for example, 5G by default. This could impact the DR synchronization initialization time as the full pool size will need to be transmitted to the backup site on the initial send. During any subsequent synchronizations only changed blocks get sent.

Do the following on the disaster recovery machines:

  • Make sure that the disaster recovery machines are able to connect to the KMIP key server.
  • Ensure that the KMIP key server port is open on the disaster recovery machines. This can be verified using the network-check connect command by supplying the key server host and port as the target. When recovering to the backup site, the backup site appliances must connect to the KMIP key server in order to remount the encrypted data stores.
