Deployment mode of OceanStor ReplicationDirector in the local high-availability solution

One piece of OceanStor ReplicationDirector is deployed in the local protection disaster recovery solution.

OceanStor ReplicationDirector (current major version: V100R003C10) is deployed in the disaster recovery data center solution (active-passive mode) in the following manner: 1. You can deploy one piece of ReplicationDirector in either center to centrally manage the production and disaster recovery centers or deploy one piece of ReplicationDirector at each center to perform disaster recovery management. 2. When deploying only one piece of OceanStor ReplicationDirector, you are advised to deploy it at the disaster recovery center and ensure that the management server can communicate through the management network with service hosts and storage devices at the production center.

The local high-availability solution supports the following applications: Oracle RAC, Microsoft SQL Server (MSFC), IBM DB2 (PowerHA), VMware, and FusionSphere. In the solution, OceanStor ReplicationDirector is used and its recommended version is V100R003C10.

Deploy one piece of OceanStor ReplicationDirector to manage disaster recovery services in the active-active data centers. Deploy OceanStor ReplicationDirector at the active-active disaster recovery center and ensure that the service system at the active-active production center can communicate with the storage management network.

The OceanStor ReplicationDirector (mainstream version: V100R003C10) supports centralized deployment and distributed deployment.
1. Centralized deployment: An OceanStor ReplicationDirector server is deployed on an independent server at the disaster recovery site to manage production and disaster recovery resources. The OceanStor ReplicationDirector server deployed at the disaster recovery site must be able to communicate with the production site.
2. Distributed deployment: Two OceanStor ReplicationDirector servers are deployed at the production site and disaster recovery site to manage site resources. The two ReplicationDirector servers must be able to communicate with each other.
