Remote Virtual Standby Prerequisite Installation Tasks

Remote Virtual Standby lets you create virtual standby virtual machines from replicated CA ARCserve D2D and CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup sessions.

Before you use Virtual Standby to create virtual standby virtual machines of replicated CA ARCserve D2D sessions, complete the prerequisite tasks in the following order:

1. Install CA ARCserve Replication and High Availability. See the CA ARCserve Replication and High Availability User Guide for more details.

   Important! A license is required to run CA ARCserve Replication and High Availability when performing a Remote Virtual Standby.

2. Configure CA ARCserve D2D, CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup, or both to create recovery points. For more details, see the CA ARCserve D2D User Guide or the CA ARCserve Central Host-Based VM Backup User Guide.
3. Create a replication scenario that copies the recovery points to a remote location. For more details, see Create a CA ARCserve Replication and High Availability Scenario for Remote Virtual Standby.
