Working with CA ARCserve RHA Replication Cloud Scenarios

The Data Replication to EC2 feature is an extension to the existing scenario types where CA ARCserve RHA enables replication of an entire Windows system into a VM running on Microsoft Hyper-V, Citrix Xen, or VMware ESX Hypervisor. This feature extends the list of supported virtual environments by adding support for Amazon EC2.

Using the Scenario Creation Wizard to create a Data Replication EC2 scenario is the same as creating a non-cloud Data Replication scenario, with the following exceptions:

• In the Select Server and Product Type screen, Microsoft Hyper-V is currently not supported for cloud-based replication scenarios.
• In the Master/Replica Hosts screen, after you have assigned the master host, use the Replicate to Cloud check box and click the Select Cloud Host button so you can specify Amazon EC2 as the server, and select an EC2 replica instance (appliance).
• In the Master and Replica Properties screen, a new Cloud section is available. All of the properties are read-only except the Shutdown Instance on scenario stop property that is disabled by default.
