Create a VPC vRouter HA Group

On the main menu of ZStack Cloud, choose Resource Center > Network Resource > vRouter > VPC vRouter HA Group. On the VPC vRouter HA Group page, click Create VPC vRouter HA Group. Then, the Create VPC vRouter HA Group page is displayed.

On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the VPC vRouter HA group.
  • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the VPC vRouter HA group.
  • Monitor IP: Set an IP address as the monitor IP address. The monitor IP address determines the primary-secondary relationship between two VPC vRouters in the HA group.
    Note:
    • The monitor IP address must be a public IP address that can be accessed by the primary and the secondary VPC vRouters in the HA group.
    • The monitor IP address must be a steady, secure IP address.
  • VPC vRouter: Add a VPC vRouter by creating a new one or importing an existing one. After you add a VPC vRouter to the HA group, the Cloud automatically configures the peer vRouters with the same configurations.
    If you choose to create a new one, set the following parameters:
    • Name: Enter a name for the VPC vRouter.
    • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the VPC vRouter.
    • Host: Optional. Select a host where the VPC vRouter is located. You can select up to two hosts.
    • vRouter Offering: Select a vRouter offering you created before.
      Note:
      • Make sure that a vRouter offering is available before you can create a VPC vRouter.
      • After you create a VPC vRouter successfully and the primary-secondary relationship is determined, set the DNS on the VPC vRouter HA group details page to ensure that the VPC vRouters work properly.
    • Default IPv4/IPv6 Address: Optional. Specify a public IP address as the virtual IP address (VIP) for the HA group. If not specified, the Cloud allocates one automatically.

    If you choose to import an existing one, set the following parameters:
    • Select VPC vRouter: Select an existing VPC vRouter.
      Note:
      • The VPC vRouter to be imported must be stopped.
      • Importing an existing VPC vRouter also imports all configurations of the VPC vRouter. In this case, the VPC vRouter cannot be used independently. Please exercise caution.
      • Only VPC vRouters with isolated public network and system network can be added an HA group.
