Ad-hoc Virtual Standby to Amazon EC2

The Ad-hoc Virtual Standby machine is created by converting the recovery points to a Amazon EC2 machine format. Standby VM contains same data, same number of disks, and network configurations as Source.

This section provides information about how to create an Ad-hoc Standby VM on Amazon EC2.

Follow these steps:

  1. On the VM Location page, do the following:
    1. From the Virtualization Server/Cloud Vendor drop-down list, select AWS EC2.
    2. From the EC2 Region drop-down list, select the EC2 region where your cloud proxy is located. Arcserve Cloud Console supports all the EC2 global regions and EC2 China region.
    3. From the VSB Cloud Proxy drop-down list, select the EC2 instance in the selected region as the cloud proxy, and then click Connect.
    4. On the Connect dialog, do the following, and then click Save:
      • Username: Specify the username to log into the VSB cloud proxy.
      • Password: Specify the password for the username to log into the VSB cloud proxy.
      • Port: Specify the port that you want to use for data transfer between the source server and the VSB cloud proxy. The default port value is 8014.
      • Note: As the cloud proxy is used for data transfer, the related ports must be enabled to access inbound in the AWS EC2 security group, including TCP 8014 and 4091.
  2. Click Next.
  3. The Virtual Machine Settings page opens.
