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.
Abiquo Server - Enable VM duplicate names in different datacenters. See Configure Abiquo to capture VMs with duplicate names
abiquo.virtualmachine.namesperdc=true
Remote Services Check that the nars async pool property is set to a value of 1
abiquo.nars.async.pool.zerto.max=1
# 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
