Replication Gateway pair selection options
This topic is applicable if you are recovering to any supported cloud data center or on-premises data center using Resiliency Platform Data Mover replication technology.
Select a gateway pair to use for this resiliency group. Each gateway pair provides information on the available assets and disks. If the gateways in the pair have different available capacities, the smaller capacity assets and disks are shown.
Ensure that the available assets and disks are sufficient for the number of assets and disks listed as the Assets requirement.
If not, then go back to the Select Assets panel. Based on the disk count displayed in the Selected Assets table, you can remove some assets to ensure that the asset requirement is met.
When you upgrade from 3.1 or an earlier version to version 3.2 or later, the total number of disks shows thin disk details. You can also view details on total provisioned storage and total storage used by all the virtual machines including the virtual machine swap (.vswp) files.
Depending on your target data center, review the following while selecting the Replication Gateway pairs.
Table: More information for selecting the Replication Gateway pairs
Target data center | More information |
|---|---|
Recovery to AWS | You can choose multiple Replication Gateways pairs mapped to different Availability Zones. See Migrating virtual machines to different availability zones of AWS. Ensure that the gateway pairs belong to the same mode, either Direct or Object Store. |
Recovery to vCloud | You can choose multiple Replication Gateways mapped to different vApps on the target data center. |
Recovery to VMware on-premises data center | Need info. Can we choose multiple gateways? |
Number of disks for AWS | The maximum disks that can be attached to the gateway is 40. |
Number of disks for Azure | For information on maximum disks that can be attached to the gateway, refer to the following topics: See Prerequisites for configuring VMware virtual machines for recovery to Azure. See Prerequisites for configuring Hyper-V virtual machines for recovery to Azure. |
Number of disks for vCloud Director | The maximum disks that can be attached to the gateway is 45. |
Number of disks for target (on-premises) data center (VMware environment) | The maximum disks that can be attached to the gateway is <need info>. |
