This document describes how to configure Abiquo for DRaaS with Zerto.
Set Abiquo Configuration Properties
Edit the abiquo.properties file and set the following properties.
On the Abiquo Server, enable VM duplicate names in different datacenters. See Configure Abiquo to capture VMs with duplicate names
abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc=true
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
abiquo.nars.async.pool.zerto.max=1
Configure the network name prefixes for DRaaS networks, for recovery and failover tests.
Configure the prefix of the name of the vCenter network that recovered VMs will use. In Abiquo you must create an external network for each enterprise in the recovery vCenter with a name such as DraasnetEnterprise1. 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".
abiquo.draas.recovery.network.name=Draasnet
Configure the default network used for failover tests by the DRaaS provider. The naming convention is the same as for the recovery network.
abiquo.draas.recovery.testnetwork.name=DraasTestnet
Optionally configure recovery host details
Default host name where the selected VMs will be recovered by the DRaaS provider. Accepts wildcard(*) to match any string
abiquo.draas.recovery.cluster.name=*Cluster*
Default datastore name that the VMs will use when recovered by the DRaaS provider. Accepts wildcard(*) to match any string
abiquo.draas.recovery.datastore.name=*datastore-local*
Default folder name where the selected VMs will be recovered by the DRaaS provider. Accepts wildcard(*) to match any string
abiquo.draas.recovery.folder.name=/
- Optionally configure protection group defaults – could they manually set other values?
Set default priority for the protection groups. This property can have the following values: Low, Medium, High.
abiquo.draas.pg.priority=Medium
Set default journal history for the protection groups in hours
abiquo.draas.pg.journalhistory.hours=24
Set default recovery point objective for the protection groups in hours
abiquo.draas.pg.rpo.seconds=180
Optionally configure the delay between synchronization of DRaaS in seconds
abiquo.draas.check.delay.seconds=60
