Create Full System Scenarios

In addition to performing various operations on Arcserve High Availability scenarios, you can create Full System scenarios in Arcserve UDP. You can create scenarios using the scenario creation wizard.

Follow these steps:

1. From the left pane, click Control Services and Scenarios and then click a managed control service.

   All the scenario groups in the control service are listed.

2. Click a scenario group.

   The Scenarios page is displayed in the center pane.

3. On the center pane, click Create Scenario.

   Note: Optionally, on the left pane, you can right-click and then click Create Scenario.

   The Create Full System wizard opens and the Select Server and Product Type dialog opens.

4. Enter the scenario name, select the product type and specify whether you want AR testing.
5. Click Next.

   The Master and Replica Host dialog opens.

6. Enter the Master and Replica details.
7. Click Next.

   The engines are verified on the hosts if you selected the Verify Engine on Hosts option. You can also install engines to the hosts or uninstall the engines from the hosts.

8. Click Next after the engines are verified.

   The Volume Setting dialog opens.

9. Select the volumes you want to protect.

   Note: When you select the Enable Exclude Directory and files option, the pagefile.sys, hyberfil.sys, system volume information, Recycler, and Recycled files and folders are filtered by default.

10. Click Next.

    The Resource Pool Selection dialog opens. You can select the resource pool where the VM is located after switchover or during AR testing.

11. Click Next.

    The Storage Selection dialog opens.

12. Select the data store to store the virtual machine. Optionally, select Allocated and commit space on demand (Using Dynamic Disk). The generated VM uses thin provision for its virtual disk if you select this option.
13. Click Next.

    The Scenario Properties dialog opens.

14. Expand the properties and modify as desired and then click Next. For more information, see the Arcserve Replication and High Availability Administrator Guide.

    The Master and Replica Properties dialog opens.

15. Review the master and replica properties and then click Click to edit physical network mappings.

    The High Availability Network Adapter Mapping dialog opens.

    Note: When there is only one virtual network adapter in both the master and replica servers, they are mapped automatically.

16. Perform the following steps:

    Replica Network Adapter

    Click to choose the adapter to map to the adapter listed in the Master Network Adapter column.

    Apply master adapter information

    (Default) Select if the Master Adapter is in the DHCP mode.

    Customize adapter information

    Select to enable the IP, Gateways, DNS Servers, and WINS Servers setting. Add or remove IP address, Gateways, DNS Servers, and WINS servers as required.

17. Click OK to close the Network Adapter Mappings dialog and then click Next to continue.

    The Switchover Properties dialog opens.

18. Expand the Network Traffic Redirection and other properties to verify the values and then click Next.

    The Switchover and Reverse Replication Initiation dialog opens.

19. Specify the switchover type. For full system scenarios, the reverse replication is manual.
20. Click Next.

    Wait while the Scenario Verification process completes and opens the Scenario Verification dialog.

    If the Scenario Verification process lists any errors, you must resolve them to continue. If any warnings are listed, you should also resolve them to successfully continue. After making changes, click Retry to repeat verification.

21. Click Next.

    The Scenario Run dialog opens.

22. Click Finish to save the current settings and run the scenario later.

    Optionally, to run the scenario instantly, select Run Now after clicking Finish button and then click Finish.

    For full system scenarios, choose Volume Synchronization.

The scenario is created.
