Adding a Resiliency Manager to an existing resiliency domain
If you are using Resiliency Platform for disaster recovery, you deploy a Resiliency Manager on both, a production data center as well as a recovery data center. When adding the first Resiliency Manager, you create a resiliency domain. You must add the second Resiliency Manager to the existing resiliency domain.
To add a Resiliency Manager to an existing resiliency domain
- Prerequisites:
Deploy a new Resiliency Platform virtual appliance node. During deployment, specify the node as either Resiliency Manager only or both Resiliency Manager and Infrastructure Management Server (IMS).
Ensure that you have the fully qualified host name and the Admin login credentials for an existing Resiliency Manager virtual appliance in the resiliency domain.
In case of multiple Resiliency Managers in a data center, ensure the following:
All the existing Resiliency Managers must be online in the data center where you plan to add a new Resiliency Manager.
For a cloud data center, it is recommended to have a minimum of three Resiliency Managers if you want to have multiple Resiliency Managers in the data center.
- Log in to the web console on the new Resiliency Manager. The Getting Started wizard is displayed.
- In Create or Join a Resiliency Domain, select Join resiliency domain.
Enter the fully qualified host name of a Resiliency Manager in the domain you want to join, user name, and password for the Resiliency Manager, and click Verify.
- In Set up Resiliency Manager, specify the data center location, the data center friendly name, and Resiliency Manager friendly name.
- Click Confirm & Continue.
- After the host name, user name, and password has been verified, the Resiliency Domain Name appears automatically. Select one of the following data centers and click Continue.
Create new data center
Select from existing data center
- You have completed the Getting Started steps that are required for the new Resiliency Manager. Optionally you can add an Infrastructure Management Server, or you can do so later from the Settings page.
See Adding an IMS .
- If you refresh the page in the web console of the new Resiliency Manager, the information for the domain that you joined is shown in the Dashboard
Each Resiliency Manager in the domain has its own web console but the data that is shown is synchronized with other Resiliency Managers in the domain.
