oVirt#
Configure the target cloud in two ways: via the UI or via API functions.
To configure the target cloud via the UI, open the ACP. In the right part of the page, above the client list, click the Manage Clouds button. The page displays information about the target clouds. Use the available commands in the Actions menu to configure clouds. To add a cloud, click Add below the table with the list of target clouds.
Select the oVirt cloud type.
Fill in the fields on the Basic Parameters tab by providing information about the cloud configuration. Click "?" for field tips.
The table below provides a normative mapping between UI field labels and API parameter names used by Hystax Acura during cloud discovery, replication, and recovery workflows.
| Field name in UI / API | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Cloud name /name |
The cloud name as displayed in the UI. The name must be unique. | test_cloud |
oVirt API endpoint /endpoint |
oVirt API Endpoint of target cloud | https://ovirtnode/ovirt-engine/api |
Username /username |
Username to access the target cloud | admin |
Password /password |
Password to access the target cloud | passw |
| Replication storage type / - |
Choose storage type to use for replicated data. Detailed description. | Cloud-native block storage |
Storage domain /storage_domain |
Name of the storage domain used to store replicated disks or virtual machines. | domain |
Datacenter /data_center |
Name of the oVirt Data Center where resources are located and managed. | datacenter |
Cluster /cluster |
Target cluster where replicated workloads will be spun up | host |
If necessary, add information about additional parameters. To do this, go to the Additional Parameters tab, select the required parameter, and enter its value. The tooltip system works similarly to the Basic Parameters tab. Description of additional parameters:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Allocation policy | Allocation policy for disks thin or preallocated |
| Cloud site replications launch timeout (minutes) | Timeout for a launch of replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes) |
| Cloud site replications timeout (minutes) | Timeout for a replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes) |
| Cloud site timeout | Cloud site creation timeout in minutes |
| Disk format | Override the default disk file format qcow2 or raw |
| Enable ransomware protection | Detect and suspend machines with abnormally large incremental replication size to mitigate possible ransomware impact. |
| Host | Target host where replicated workloads will be spun up |
| P2V type | In this field, you can specify a non-standard P2V - for example, for cloud "Virtuozzo”, you need to specify "virtuozzo" |
| Ransomware protection threshold | Ransomware protection threshold (in percent). Defines the maximum permissible size of incremental replication relative to the latest full backup. Exceeding this threshold triggers automatic machine suspension. |
| Send replication data to cloud agent directly | Check this box to send replication data directly to cloud agent, it can increase replication speed. |
| Use https server on cloud agent | When this option is enabled, the cloud agent starts with an https server. This option will not be applied to existing agents, only to new ones. |
| Use public IP for cloud agent | Cloud Agent will be created with public IP and Acura will use public IP to connect to Cloud Agent |
The specified user should have an unlimited number of active sessions for Hystax Acura to operate correctly.
