Assign the Active Role to the NSX Global Manager Instance in the Recovery VMware Cloud Foundation Instance If the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance becomes unavailable, you must prepare the network layer in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance for a failover of the management applications. To provide full management of the network infrastructure in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, first change the role of the NSX Global Manager instance in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
Reconfigure the NSX Tier-1 Gateway for Dynamic Routing in the Recovery VMware Cloud Foundation Instance To support dynamic routing in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance, before you initiate a disaster recovery from the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance, configure the NSX Tier-1 gateway to set the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance as primary. This configuration ensures that the management components of the SDDC continue to communicate using optimal routes in a fault-tolerant network.
Connect the NSX Load Balancer in the Recovery VMware Cloud Foundation Instance to the Standalone NSX Tier-1 Gateway Activate the network connectivity on the load balancer in the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance to support high availability and distribute the network traffic load for the clustered Workspace ONE Access, VMware Aria Operations , and VMware Aria Automation after disaster recovery to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
Initiate a Disaster Recovery of the Clustered Workspace ONE Access Instance and VMware Aria Suite Lifecyclefor Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation If a site failure occurs in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance, initiate a disaster recovery of the clustered Workspace ONE Access instance and VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle to restore the life cycle management and authentication services of the SDDC.
Initiate a Disaster Recovery of VMware Aria Operationsfor Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation If a site failure occurs in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance, initiate a disaster recovery of VMware Aria Operations to keep the monitoring functionality of the SDDC running.
Initiate Disaster Recovery of VMware Aria Automationfor Site Protection and Disaster Recovery for VMware Cloud Foundation If a site failure occurs in the protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance, initiate disaster recovery of the VMware Aria Automation components to keep the workload provisioning functionality of the SDDC available.
Post-Failover Configuration of the SDDC Management Applications for VMware Cloud Foundation After failover of VMware Aria Automation , VMware Aria Operations , and VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle , you must perform additional tasks to ensure that the management applications operate as expected.
Post-Failover Configuration after the Original Protected VMware Cloud Foundation Instance is Available Again When the original protected VMware Cloud Foundation instance is back online, you can fully transfer all features of the SDDC configuration to the recovery VMware Cloud Foundation instance.
