Regional-DR solution for Fusion Data Foundation

This section of the guide provides you with insights into the IBM Fusion Data Foundation Regional Disaster Recovery (Regional-DR) solution along with the steps and commands necessary to be able to failover an application from one OpenShift Container Platform cluster to another and then failback the same application to the original primary cluster. In this case the OpenShift Container Platform clusters will be created or imported using Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM).

Though Regional-DR solution is built on Asynchronous data replication and hence could have a potential data loss but provides the protection against a broad set of failures.

This is a general overview of the Regional-DR steps required to configure and execute OpenShift Disaster Recovery (ODR) capabilities using Fusion Data Foundation and RHACM across two distinct OpenShift Container Platform clusters separated by distance. In addition to these two clusters called managed clusters, a third OpenShift Container Platform cluster is required that will be the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) hub cluster.

Important: You can now easily set up Regional disaster recovery solutions for workloads based on OpenShift virtualization technology using OpenShift Data Foundation. For more information, see the knowledgebase article.
