For the cloud to cloud replications, you can specify the automatically discovered network settings of the vApp or virtual machine. After performing a migration, failover, or a test failover, VMware Cloud Director Availability attaches the selected network settings in the destination cloud site.
VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.6 or later, when backed by
VMware Cloud Director 10.3 or later, supports replicating:
- Routed vApp networks and vApp network services for virtual data centers backed by NSX.
- DHCP service on vApp isolated networks.
A reversed replication, since
VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.4 creates the following auto-resolved and original mappings for the vApp networks:
Original Network Mapping | Reverse Replication Network Mapping |
---|---|
If no destination network match for the reversed replication network is found. | No change. Keep the auto-resolved mapping of the source networks. |
Alternatively, if multiple source networks connect to one destination network. | |
If a matching destination network for the reversed replication network is found. | Reverse the original network mapping, preserving the protected vApp configuration for connection to destination networks. |
Prerequisites
- Verify that VMware Cloud Director Availability 4.6 or later is deployed in both cloud sites for replicating routed vApp networks with error-free automatic destination network mapping or for replicating the DHCP configuration on isolated networks.
- Verify that you can access VMware Cloud Director Availability as a tenant or as a service provider. For more information, see Accessing VMware Cloud Director Availability.
