You configure the network on the vSphere Replication appliances and add static routes to configure the replication traffic between the two availability zones. In case of unavailability of Region B as a recovery region, virtual machines fail over to Availability Zone 2.
Procedure
Add a Network Adapter to the vSphere Replication Appliance in Region A for Replication Traffic to Availability Zone 2 Add a third adapter to the vSphere Replication appliance in Region A to handle replication traffic to Availability Zone 2.
Configure Routing on the vSphere Replication Appliances in Each Region Configure the replication traffic between the protected and the recovery region by adding static routes on both vSphere Replication appliances in each region.
Configure Static Routes Between the Protected and the Recovery Regions Configure the replication traffic between the Availability Zone 2 and the recovery region by adding static routes between the management ESXi hosts.
Update the Host Profile to Distribute the Replication Traffic Network Configuration in Availability Zone 2 To distribute the replication traffic configuration on the hosts in Availability Zone 2, update the host profile and remediate the hosts.
