Setting up the disaster recovery cluster

A disaster recovery (DR) solution is a series of procedures you can use to safely and efficiently restore application data and services in the event of a catastrophic failure. A typical DR solution requires clusters on primary and secondary sites with replication between those sites. The cluster on the primary site provides data and services during normal operation; the cluster on the secondary site provides data and services if the cluster on the primary site fails.

Arctera recommends that you configure the secondary site only after you have established a local cluster with the GCO Option at the primary site.
