After you bring up an additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance in your environment, perform the necessary configuration tasks to activate Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation in the additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
Reuse the previous implementation procedures to configure the additional VMware Cloud Foundation instance according to your values in the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook.
| Steps | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Create Virtual Machine and Template Folder for the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector Appliances for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | You create a virtual machine folder on the management domain vCenter Server to manage the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliances. |
| 2. Create a Protected Site for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | After you deploy a cloud file system for storing virtual machine snapshots, you create a protected site. |
| 3. Deploy the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector Appliances for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | To provide connectivity to the VMware Live Cyber Recovery service, you deploy a VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliance in the VMware Cloud Foundation instance. |
| 4. Create and Configure a Custom Role in vSphere for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | To limit the privileges and scope for the VMware Live Cyber Recovery integration with vSphere, you create custom roles in vSphere with the required privileges. To provide the necessary privileges to the integration service account, assign the custom role to the service account. |
| 5. Configure a vSphere DRS Anti-Affinity Rule for the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector Appliances for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | If you deploy multiple VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliances, you must keep them on separate hosts and configure a vSphere DRS to run the virtual machines on different hosts in the default management vSphere cluster. |
| 6. Add the Connector Appliances to the First Availability Zone VM Group for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | If you configured the management domain with two availability zones, to provide failover to the second availability zone, add the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliances to the VM group for the first availability zone. |
| 7. Register a VI Workload Domain vCenter Server for Cloud-Based Ransomware Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation | After deploying the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliances into the VMware Cloud Foundation instance, you register the VI workload domain vCenter Server, using its IP address, with the VMware Live Cyber Recovery service through the VMware Live Cyber Recovery Connector appliance. |
