Attach a Server

Follow the instructions below to add a primary server to Server Disaster Recovery.

  1. In the Server Disaster Recovery Center console, click the "Attach a Server" button in the upper left corner.

  2. A pop-up window will appear, asking you to provide configuration information for the primary and backup servers.

    • Region: Select the geographic region where your primary server is located (e.g. HCM-03).

    • Click to select the primary server to add to Server Disaster Recovery

    • Shadow Server Configuration:

      • Region: Select the geographic region where you want to place the backup server.

      • VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): Select the VPC you want the backup server to belong to.

      • Subnet: Select the specific subnet in the selected VPC to place the backup server.

    • Select Multiple Main Servers:

      • If you want to add multiple primary servers at once, check the boxes next to the server names.

      • You can also select all servers at once by checking the box at the top of the list.

  3. Confirm: After providing all the information, click the "Attach" button to complete the server adding process.

  • If the server addition process is successful, you will receive an "Attach Server Successful" message and the system will automatically redirect you to the Server Disaster Recovery dashboard.

Note:

  • Expired primary servers are still displayed but cannot be selected for addition to DRC. You need to renew the server before adding it to SDR.

  • Shadow Servers that are in the process of pairing or have not confirmed their failover status cannot be selected either.

  • Primary servers with drives with "multi-attach" settings (allowing them to be attached to multiple servers at once) cannot be added to SDR.
