If your management domain is configured with two availability zones, to activate failover to the second availability zone, move the VMware Aria Operations for Networks virtual machines to the VM group for the first availability zone. The virtual machine write operations are performed synchronously across both availability zones and each availability zone has a copy of the data.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management domain vCenter Server at https://<management_vcenter_server_fqdn>/ui by using an account with Administrator privileges.
  2. In the Hosts and clusters inventory, expand the management domain vCenter Server tree and expand the management domain data center.
  3. Select the default management vSphere cluster, and click the Configure tab.
  4. In the left pane, navigate to Configuration > VM/Host groups and click Add.

    The Create VM/Host group dialog box opens.

  5. Configure the VM group for the first availability zone according to your value in the VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook.

  6. In the Add group member dialog box, select the VMware Aria Operations for Networks virtual machines and click OK.
  7. In the Create VM/Host group dialog box, click OK.
