vManage in Active/Standby mode delay

[craneman1]

I have very small deployment 100 edges worldwide.

I was looking at clutering however it seems to be designed for much larger deployments.  I see there is a 4 ms latency requirement between vmange in clustering.

So I am thinking of an east coast/west coast active/standby.  I dont think ther eis a ms requirement because it seems you jsut restore the database on the standy if the active has failed.  Is that correct?

Also... I suppose it is possible to deply active/standy on east coast... and a stndby on west cost in case the enitre east coast data center dissapears...   I dont see that diagrammed in the sdwan design guide just the tradional active/standby east/west coast example.

Thanks!

Hi,

for 100 sites, yes, you can use disaster recovery option (we can call it active/standby). But note that, there is no sync between nodes, so you must restore database manually. Active/standby and standby option should also work, because there is no actual sync,connection requirement between vManages (for DR option, not cluster). You need separate IP, proper certificate installed in standby nodes and connection to vBond.
