Configure Amazon EC2

Arcserve Continuous Availability VA virtual machine resides in VPC, and Master servers are replicated to that VPC.

Note: Refer to Amazon online help to set up VPC, subnets, IP gateway, and so on according to your DR network requirements.

Considerations before deploying EC2-based Full System scenarios:

• Arcserve Continuous Availability needs the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key of Amazon EC2 account to work with EC2. You can get required information from your administrator.
• The Amazon EC2 user in Arcserve Continuous Availability should have required permissions. For details, refer to the Arcserve KB article.
• If you want Arcserve Continuous Availability to start the DR VM with a specific public IP address, pre-allocate such Elastic IPs in the Amazon EC2 web portal. Later in the Network Mapping dialog of Continuity Suite Scenario, you can pick one public IP from existing Elastic IP addresses for the DR VM.
