Hi,
I want to setup an Active-Passive between 2 sites using oVirt 4.3.
For now I have a primary site with an ovirt-engine, 2 ovirt hosts and 5 VMs
in an iscsi storage.
The backup site will have an ovirt-engine with 2 ovirt hosts and an iscsi
storage that will will have the same LUNs of the primary replicated.
I'm reading the DR Guide (
https://ovirt.org/documentation/disaster-recovery-guide/), in the backup
site do I need to manually create the storage domains and the VM networks
or will the ansible playbook take care of that?
Thanks

Hello Paulo,
the guide is the right one. You have to create in advance networks and
compile a mapping file saying which network name to use on disaster
recovery site. I know that in case of FC storage i had to map the lun
in advance before starting recovery. I don't know if there is
something automated in the ansible recovery role.

Hi Paulo,

If you would like to use the DR then you shouldn't add manually anything to
the backup site except a data-center with a cluster and an active host.
All you need to do is:
1) replicate your storage to a backup storage domain
2) Generate a mapping file that contains all your entities configurations
3) Have networks with the same general connectivity as the primary site
* The ovirt-dr scripts will generate for you the mapping file and operate
the fail-over/back [1]

Hope that will help.
