Setting Up SnapReplicate and SNAP HA™
About SoftNAS SnapReplicate and SNAP HATM
Setting up SnapReplicate provides replication of data between SoftNAS Cloud® instances for greater redundancy. SNAP HATM, on the other hand, adds an additional layer of protection by providing load balancing between SoftNAS Cloud® instances.
Overview
The following are required for a successful SNAPReplicate and SNAP HATM setup.
If setting up SNAPReplicate using Elastic IP addresses:
-
Create virtual network (public and private subnets)
-
Deploy 2 instances into the private subnets (into different regions for greater redundancy)
If setting up SNAPReplicate using Virtual IP addresses:
-
Create virtual network (create separate private subnets.)
-
Deploy 2 instances into the private subnets (into different regions for greater redundancy)
-
Configure
SoftNAS SnapReplicate.
Setting Up For SnapReplicate
The following is required for a standard SoftNAS SnapReplicate and SNAP HATM implementation:
If setting up SNAPReplicate using Elastic IP addresses:
-
Create virtual network (public and private subnets)
-
Deploy 2 instances into the private subnets (into different regions for greater redundancy)
If setting up SNAPReplicate using Virtual IP addresses:
-
Create virtual network (create separate private subnets.)
-
Deploy 2 instances into the private subnets (into different regions for greater redundancy).
-
Configure
SnapReplicate and
SNAP HATM using
SoftNAS StorageCenter.
Configuring StorageCenter
Note: When setting up storage pools for replication, they have to have the same name. Otherwise, replication will not work properly. Also, create a volume on the source-side node.
