Prerequisites
Ensure that the following requirements are met before you proceed with the configuration:
  • The required ports are open for communication between an on-premise data center and an on-cloud data center.
For details, refer to the InfoScale Installation and Upgrade Guide - Windows.
  • The virtual private IP addresses are plumbed on both the nodes.
  • The virtual private IP addresses are configured within the subnet.
Setting up replication
The following procedure lists high-level tasks to set up replication for this scenario.
To set up replication from an on-premises data center to a Google cloud data center
  1. Using the GCP Console, create a VPC network with a valid CIDR block, for example, 10.239.0.0/16.
  2. Create a subnet in the VPC network and assign it to a zone.
  3. Create an VM instance and associate it with the VPC network.
  4. Configure a virtual private gateway and associate it to the VPC.
  5. Configure a gateway in the on-premises data center.
  6. Create a VPN tunnel between the on-premises network and the Google cloud network.
  7. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on the VM instances in both the data centers.
  8. Create VxVM disk groups, VxVM volumes, Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.
  9. Set up replication between the on-premises and on-cloud instances.
  10. Verify the status of replication.
# vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name
Ensure that the replication status shows:
Replication status: replicating (connected)
