This document describes how After you create your test environment, to configure Abiquo properties for DRaaS with Zerto do these steps.

Set Abiquo Configuration Properties

Edit the abiquo.properties file and set the following properties.

Abiquo Server - Enable VM duplicate names in different datacenters. See Configure Abiquo to capture VMs with duplicate names

Code Block
abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc=true

...

Warning

Abiquo 6.1.x supports Zerto 9.7 U2 on Linux only

On the Remote Services server, set the NARS async pool property, which must have a value of 1. Note that this is the default value for this integration

Code Block
abiquo.nars.async.pool.zerto.max=1

...

Code Block

# Default host name where the selected VMs will be recovered by draas provider.
# Accepts wildcard(*) to indicate that any string at the place will match
#abiquo.draas.recovery.cluster.name=*Cluster*

The vcenter cluster name where the vms will be recovered. The default value should work.
# Default datastore name that the VMs will use when recovered by draas provider.
# Accepts wildcard(*) to indicate that any string at the place will match
#abiquo.draas.recovery.datastore.name=*datastore-local*

The vcenter recovery datastore where the vms will be recovered. The default value should work
# Default folder name where the selected VMs will be recovered by draas provider.
# Accepts wildcard(*) to indicate that any string at the place will match
#abiquo.draas.recovery.folder.name=/

The path where the vms will be recovered. The default value should work.
# Default network used for failover by draas provider.
# Accepts wildcard(*) to indicate that any string at the place will match

#abiquo.draas.recovery.network.name=Draasnet
The vcenter network that recovered vms will use. So from Abiquo you will manually create an external network to the recovery vcenter and name it for example DraasnetEnterprise1 where Draasnet is the property configured here and Enterprise1 is the DR-code that you will configure later.
# Default network used for failover test by draas provider.
# Accepts wildcard(*) to indicate that any string at the place will match
#abiquo.draas.recovery.testnetwork.name=DraasTestnet
Same as the normal network, but it will be used at the provider when testing the failover.
# Default priority for the protection groups
# Expected values: Low, Medium, High.
#abiquo.draas.pg.priority=Medium
# Default journal history hours for the protection groups
#abiquo.draas.pg.journalhistory.hours=24
# Default recovery point objective seconds for the protection groups
#abiquo.draas.pg.rpo.seconds=180
# Delay between executions of the draas sync (seconds)
# Default is 1 minute
#abiquo.draas.check.delay.seconds=60


On the API server, configure the DRaaS properties.

Property

Description

abiquo.draas.check.delay.seconds

Delay between executions of the DRaaS sync in seconds
Default: 60

abiquo.draas.pg.journalhistory.hours

Default journal history for the protection groups in hours
Default: 24

abiquo.draas.pg.priority

Default priority for the protection groups
Range: Low, Medium, High.
Default: Medium

abiquo.draas.pg.rpo.seconds

Default recovery point objective for the protection groups in seconds
Default: 180

abiquo.draas.recovery.cluster.name

Default host name where the selected VMs will be recovered by the DRaaS provider. It can include a wildcard (*) to match any string
Default: *Cluster*

abiquo.draas.recovery.datastore.name

Default datastore name that the VMs will use when recovered by the DRaaS provider. It can include a wildcard (*) to match any string
Default: *datastore-local*

abiquo.draas.recovery.folder.name

Default folder name where the selected VMs will be recovered by the DRaaS provider. It can include a wildcard (*) to match any string.
Note: Abiquo uses the Zerto API so it cannot filter folders by datacenter or cluster. All folders in all datacenters and clusters in the vCenter are shown, so multiple root folders may display. If this happens, rename datastore folders to give them unique names and set a unique folder name for this property.
Default: /

abiquo.draas.recovery.network.name

Default network used for recovery by the DRaaS provider. In the recovery vCenter you must create a network for each enterprise. The first part of the network name is this property's value, and the second part is the value of an enterprise property with a key of DR-code, for example, DraasnetEnt1. You can create a matching external network in Abiquo to capture VMs into. In a test environment with only one tenant, you do not need to use the enterprise property.
Default: Draasnet

abiquo.draas.recovery.testnetwork.name

Default network used for failover tests by the DRaaS provider. In the recovery vCenter you must create a test network for each enterprise. The first part of the network name is this property's value, and the second part is the value of an enterprise property with a key of DR-code, for example, DraasTestnetEnt1. You can create a matching external network in Abiquo to capture VMs into. In a test environment with only one tenant, you do not need to use the enterprise property.
Default: DraasTestnet


On the Remote Services server, configure the Zerto properties

Property

Description

zerto.feign.logger.level

Logger level for Feign HTTP client.
Range: none, basic, headers, full
Default: none

zerto.polling.delay.seconds

Delay between polling requests to update status of Zerto tasks
Default: 60

zerto.propagation.delay.seconds

Wait time that finished Zerto tasks require to propagate the changes.
Default: 10

zerto.ssl.allow.insecure

Allow Zerto plugin to use insecure connections
Default: false

zerto.task.timeout.seconds

The timeout to get a response from a provider task
Default: 300
