The Multi-Site Service mesh is used to create a secure optimized transport fabric between any two sites managed by HCX. About the HCX Multi-Site Service MeshWhen HCX Migration, Disaster recovery, Network Extension, and WAN Optimization services are enabled, HCX deploys Virtual Appliances in the source site and corresponding "peer" virtual appliances on the destination site. The Multi-Site Service Mesh enables the configuration, deployment, and serviceability of these Interconnect virtual appliance pairs. Adding a Site Pair A Site Pair establishes the connection needed for management, authentication, and orchestration of HCX services across a source and destination environment. Creating a Network Profile The Network Profile is an abstraction of a Distributed Port group, Standard Port group, or NSX Logical Switch, and the Layer 3 properties of that network. A Network Profile is a subcomponent of a complete Compute Profile. Creating a Compute Profile A Compute Profile contains the compute, storage, and network settings that HCX uses on this site to deploy the Interconnect-dedicated virtual appliances when a Service Mesh is added. Creating a Service MeshAn HCX Service Mesh is the effective HCX services configuration for a source and destination site. A Service Mesh can be added to a connected Site Pair that has a valid Compute Profile created on both of the sites. Synchronizing the Multi-Site Service MeshThe Multi-Site Service Mesh is the effective HCX service configuration between a source and destination site and must be kept in synchronization between the pair.
