Configuring Geo Redundancy

To set up Geo Redundancy, you must configure one RND cluster to synchronize with another, ensuring redundancy and data consistency.
Complete the following steps to add a geo-redundant (secondary) data center and enable synchronization:
  1. On the menu, select Admin > Geo Redundancy.
    The Geo Redundancy window is displayed.

    Geo Redundancy Window

  2. Click the icon. The Add Datacenter window is displayed.

    Add Datacenter Window

  3. Complete the following fields:
    • IPv4 IP: Enter the IPv4 address of the RND cluster that you want to add for geo redundancy.
    • Password: Enter the web-based RND admin password of the secondary RND cluster.
  4. Click Save to add the geo-redundant RND cluster.

    The cluster details of the newly added data center are displayed in the Geo Redundancy table.

    Geo Redundancy Table

    The Geo Redundancy table also allows you to monitor the status of the synchronization and includes the following columns:

    • Host Name: Displays the host names of the nodes in the cluster.
    • System Version: Displays the RND version running on each node.
    • IP Address: Displays the IPv4 address of the nodes.
    • IPv6 Address: Displays the IPv6 address of the nodes.
    • Sync Status: Displays the current synchronization status.
    • Last Sync Time: Displays the timestamp of the most recent incremental synchronization.
    • Last Total Sync Time: Displays the time at which the last complete synchronization was completed.
    • Created At: Displays the time at which the datacenter was created.
    • Updated At: Displays the time at which the datacenter was updated.

    Once geo redundancy is configured, you can Refresh, Edit, or Delete the configured datacenters. from the Geo Redundancy window.
Optionally, after configuring geo redundancy, you can adjust the synchronization frequency to ensure consistent data alignment between datacenters. By default, geo redundancy synchronization occurs every 30 minutes. For more information, refer to Managing System Settings.
