A datacenter that hosts the servers that need replication is referred as Primary site A co-location/hosted/managed cloud is referred as Secondary site.

2 Introduction to Scout

Scout Software is a continuous data protection product which allows users to have full instance asynchronous replication (Physical or Virtual Machines) over LAN or WAN for local and remote recovery with near zero data loss (RPO).

The software is used for DR by enterprises and for deployment in DR as a Service (DRaaS) offering by Managed Service Providers (MSP).

ScoutCloud RX server (RX) The ScoutCloud RX server helps in consolidating administration from one single interface rather than depending on individual Configuration server(CS) UI to monitor individual CS servers. It is a multitenant portal intended for use by Managed Service Providers (MSP) and end-customers. You will be able to monitor individual accounts and multiple accounts with their respective customers and their assigned CS server(s) from one interface. It simplifies monitoring and saves time. RX needs to be registered to Azure. This is the first server that MSP needs to deploy before installing CS server(s). CS servers need to be registered with RX. If you are not Managed service provider, you don't need to install RX, you can start with configuration server.

Configuration Server (CS) CS server presents Scout UI. If you are enterprise customer this is the first software needs to install. All other Scout software installers (PS, Source UA, MT) prompt user to enter the CS IP address and they get registered to the CS. This UI is used for management of replication. The CS server need to be registered either with RX (in case of MSP) or with Azure to start using it. RX IP address is required to register with RX.

Unified Agent (UA) Scout software has block-level replication software that captures data in real time, called the Unified Agent (UA) and it needs to be installed on all the virtual or physical machines in the primary site. CS IP address is required during this installation.

Process Server (PS) A dedicated Windows 2012 virtual or physical machine, also in the primary site, called Process Server (PS) is installed with CX software. The PS receives, compresses, encrypts and bandwidth optimizes the data captured by UA's on all Primary servers and transfers it to a VMware virtual machine called Master Target (MT). CS IP address is required during this installation.

Master Target (MT) MT server acts as a Recovery Vault that continuously receives, updates and retains the replica VM's. The MT virtual machine can reside at primary site for local recovery or in a co-location datacenter for remote recovery (or public or managed cloud). The MT virtual machine has to be running on VMware with the compute and storage capacity provisioned to retain replica VMs and data changes for retention period desired. These replica VMs are kept ready to boot-up in the event of a local or site wide disaster at the Primary Site.

Windows MT server presents a UI on a wizard called vContinuum. It is used for configuring and initiating replications for a Physical or Virtual Machine on Primary site to a VMWare based Secondary Sites. The vContinuum wizard is to be used for Physical to VMare (P2V) and VMware to VMware (V2V) replication and recovery. CS IP address is required during this installation.

3 Brief Deployment Steps

For Managed Service Providers (MSP), a multi-tenant orchestration and management portal software InMage_ScoutCloud_RX is to be deployed first. A VMware virtual machine running RHEL 6.4 64 bit needs to be provisioned in the managed/hosting datacenters for ScoutCloud_RX.

a) Create the ScoutCloud (RX) VM at the Secondary Site (for MSPs only) by following the steps here.

b) All other Scout components listed below for enterprise customers are required to be done for each MSP customer.

For enterprises, the following are the high level actions required to protect a Primary site server to a Secondary site,

a) A minimum of two Windows 2012R2 VMware virtual machines have to be provisioned on secondary site. One VM for Configuration Server and second for Master Target. If your source is Linux, then one additional VM for Linux Master Target is to be deploy on the secondary site. a. Create a Configuration Server (CS) VM, at the Secondary Site and install the CS software by following the steps here and choose the CS option. b. Create a Windows Master Target (MT) VM, at the Secondary Site and install the MT software by following the steps here. c. Create Linux Master Target(MT) VM at the Secondary Site and install the MT software by following the steps here.

b) On Primary site minimum one Windows 2012R2 server is required for Process Server. It can be either physical or VM. Install Process Server software by following the steps here.

c) InMage_UA_8.0.1.0_Windows_GA_XXX must be installed on all Primary site Windows instances by following the steps here.

d) InMage_UA_8.0.1__GA_XXX must be installed on all Primary site Linux instances by following the steps here.
