Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization#
To configure the target cloud, 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 Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization / KubeVirt cloud type.
Fill in the fields on the Basic Parameters tab by providing information about the cloud configuration. Click "?" for field tips. Fields description:
| Field | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Cloud name/name |
The name of the cloud which is shown in UI. The name must be unigue. | kubevirt_cluster |
Kubeconfig/kubeconfig |
Contents of Kubeconfig file to access target Kubernetes cluster | apiVersion: v1 clusters: - cluster: server: https://api.kubevirt.example.com:6443 |
Namespace/namespace |
Specifies the Kubernetes namespace where replicated workloads spin up | dr-replication |
Default storage class/storage_class |
Default storage class for replicated disks | kubevirt-csi-default |
Cloud agent PVC/cloud_agent_pvc |
Name of persistent volume claim that contains Cloud Agent image | cloud-agent-pvc |
| Replication storage type/ - |
Choose storage type to use for replicated data. Migration and recovery from cloud-native block storage is fastest, but the other storage types can be cheaper. Detailed description. | Cloud-native block storage |
| Secondary replication storage type/ - |
Choose secondary storage type to use for replicated data. When this option is enabled, data is replicated to both storage types simultaneously. | Not provided |
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 name in UI / API | Description |
|---|---|
Cloud agent flavor /cloud_agent_flavor |
Flavor to use for the cloud agent instances |
Cloud site parallel resources limit /cloud_site_parallel_resources_limit |
How many resources of the same type are allowed to be created in parallel during Cloud Site creation |
Cloud Site replications launch timeout (minutes) /cloud_site_status_change_timeout |
Timeout for a launch of replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes) |
Cloud site replications timeout (minutes) /cloud_site_replication_timeout |
Timeout for a replications during Cloud Site creation (in minutes) |
Cloud site timeout /cloud_site_timeout_min |
Cloud site creation timeout in minutes |
Disk bus /disk_bus |
Disk bus type for replicated VMs, for example "virtio" or "scsi" |
Enable ransomware protection /enable_ransomware_check |
Check this box to detect and suspend machines with abnormally large incremental replication size to mitigate possible ransomware impact |
Minimal count of cloud agents /min_ca_alive |
Minimum count of cloud agents which should stay alive according scaling policy |
P2V type /p2v_type |
Specify a non-standard P2V value. For example, for Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure, specify "virtuozzo". |
Ransomware protection threshold /ransomware_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 /use_receiver_mesh |
Check this box to send replication data directly to cloud agent, it can increase replication speed. |
Set default tag /insert_default_tag |
Tag created resources with provided tag name |
Use https server on cloud agent /cloud_agent_https |
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. |
