After you complete the tasks for setting up a replicated data cluster for an application service group, you can optionally create a secondary site for wide area disaster recovery using the SFW HA Global Cluster option (GCO).
With this option, if a disaster affects a local or metropolitan area, data and critical services are failed over to a site hundreds or thousands of miles away.
To configure disaster recovery using a secondary site, you must install the SFW HA Global Cluster Option on all nodes on the primary (replicated data cluster) site cluster, as well as the secondary (DR) site cluster. GCO configuration also requires a static IP address available for each site.
You can use the Disaster Recovery (DR) wizard when setting up the secondary site. The secondary site is not configured as a replicated data cluster. There can be only one replicated data cluster in the DR environment.
The DR wizard does the following tasks:
Clones the storage
Clones the application service group
Sets up VVR replication for the secondary site
Configures the primary and secondary site clusters as global clusters
