Add a File System to a Disaster Recovery Protection Group

Learn how to add a file system to a Disaster Recovery (DR) Protection Group.

Before adding a file system, ensure to perform the following prerequisites:
  1. Create a file system.
  2. Create a replication.
  3. Set up the security rules.
  4. Create a standby DR Protection Group.
  5. Create a primary DR Protection Group.

Perform the following steps to add a file system to a Disaster Recovery (DR) Protection Group:

  1. From the Resource Type menu, select File system.
  2. Select the file system to add from the list of file systems.
  3. Select the Destination availability domain.
    Note

    Full Stack DR checks whether the replication is created in the selected Destination availability domain. If no replication is available, then the plan creation fails. As a prerequisite, ensure to setup replication before selecting the Destination availability domain in the standby region.
  4. Select the Source export path.
  5. Select the Destination mount target in your compartment.
    Specify the export path that should be attached to the mount target in the standby region.
  6. Click the option to add the + Another export mapping to add the mapping of the file systems.
  7. Accept the warning that all DR Plans will be deleted.
  8. Click Add to add the file system to the DR Protection Group.
    Note

    Do not include file systems mounted to compute instances that are members of different DR Protection Groups. Any compute instance in completely different DR protection groups for other application stacks will lose access to the file systems during a DR operation such as a switchover.
