Basics

The Orchestration subtab allows configuring bootable backups to be a push-button failover to the cloud.

This tab is available on the secondary appliance only.

Orchestration subtab

Orchestration scenario is built using the following three components:

Component Description
Group Lets you create a group of devices. All devices in the group are booted simultaneously.
Wait Lets you set a time delay (in seconds) between the booted VMs or groups. This can be useful to make sure your AD server starts before your Exchange server.
Devices List of all available VMs that can be included in the scenario

To add a component to the scenario, drag and drop it to the configuration area on the right.

To rename a group, click Edit (Edit icon), enter a name for the group, and then click Apply.

To edit the delay value, click Edit (Edit icon), enter an integer, and then click Apply.

To remove a group or a delay from the scenario, click X.

To remove a device from the scenario, hover over the device, click the three dots, and then click Remove from Orchestration.

Actions

All actions on the Orchestration subtab are available on the toolbar.

Actions toolbar

Action Description
Save Save the current orchestration configuration
Run Start the current orchestration process
LAN Configure DR LAN used by orchestration to set the subnet, in which the VMs will run

Configuring DR LAN

With DR LAN you are able to set if your VMs are able to have access outside the cloud or not. You are also able to specify the subnet mask and the default gateway.

DR LAN settings

Enable DHCP and IP Restore will attempt to boot the VM with the MAC address it was up with and restore a static IP. If the client was backed up with a DHCP address, it will assign the boot with an address inside the DHCP range.

Changes to the DR LAN settings will cause the VPN connection to our cloud to not work properly. Please contact Support to have the VPN settings updated in the cloud.

To test the orchestration configuration, click Run.

You can check the status of the booted VMs on the Active subtab.
