Editing the Recovery server default parameters
When you create and apply a disaster recovery protection plan, a recovery server with default parameters is created. You can edit these default parameters later.
A recovery server is created only if it does not exist. Existing recovery servers are not changed or recreated.
To edit the recovery server default parameters
-
Go to Devices > All devices.
-
Select a device, and click Disaster recovery.
-
Edit the recovery server default parameters.
The recovery server parameters are described in the following table.
Recovery server parameter |
Default value |
Description |
---|---|---|
CPU and RAM | auto | The number of virtual CPUs and the amount of RAM for the recovery server. The default settings will be automatically determined based on the original device CPU and RAM configuration. |
Cloud network | auto | Cloud network to which the server will be connected. For details on how cloud networks are configured, see Cloud network infrastructure. |
IP address in production network | auto | The IP address that the server will have in the production network. By default, the IP address of the original machine is set. |
Test IP address | disabled | Test IP address gives you the capability to test a failover in the isolated test network and to connect to the recovery server via RDP or SSH during a test failover. In the test failover mode, the VPN gateway will replace the test IP address with the production IP address by using the NAT protocol. If a test IP address is not specified, the console will be the only way to access the server during a test failover. |
Internet Access | enabled | Enable the recovery server to access the Internet during a real or test failover. By default, TCP port 25 is denied for outbound connections. |
Use Public address | disabled | Having a public IP address makes the recovery server available from the Internet during a failover or test failover. If you do not use a public IP address, the server will be available only in your production network. To use a public IP address, you must enable internet access. The public IP address will be shown after you complete the configuration. By default, TCP port 443 is open for inbound connections. |
Set RPO threshold | disabled | RPO threshold defines the maximum allowable time interval between the last recovery point and the current time. The value can be set within 15 – 60 minutes, 1 – 24 hours, 1 – 14 days. |
