Setting up replication
The following procedure lists high-level tasks to set up replication for this scenario.
To set up replication across Google cloud regions
  1. Create two VPC networks with valid non-overlapping CIDR blocks - one subnet for the primary site in Region1 and the second for the secondary site in Region2 with valid CIDR range, for example, 10.30.0.0/16 and 10.60.0.0/16 respectively.
  2. Create a primary site VM instance.
  3. Create a secondary site VM instance.
  4. Peer the two VPC networks.
  5. Install the appropriate InfoScale product on the VM instances in both the data centers.
  6. Create VxVM disk groups, VxVM volumes, Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and RLinks.
  7. Set up replication between the instances using the private IP address or virtual private IP address.
  8. Verify the status of replication.
# vradmin -g dg_name repstatus rvg_name
Ensure that the replication status shows:
Replication status: replicating (connected)
