Preparing Object Storage for Full Stack Disaster Recovery

Use the steps in this topic to prepare the object storage buckets for Full Stack DR. Create a Replication Policy by performing the following steps:

1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. In Object Storage & Archive Storage, click Buckets.
2. Select the compartment from the list under List Scope. All buckets in that compartment are listed in tabular form.
3. Click the bucket for which you're creating the replication policy. The bucket's Details page is displayed.
4. Click Replication Policy under Resources. The Replication Policy list is displayed.
5. Click Create Policy. The Create Replication Policy dialog box is displayed.
6. Add the following details:
   • Name: Accept the default name or enter your own. Object Storage generates a policy name that reflects the current year, month, day, and time, for example, replication-policy-20200129-2230. If you change this name, use letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, and periods.
   • Destination Region: Select the OCI region that contains the destination bucket that you want to replicate from the list. Your tenancy must be subscribed to a region for you to replicate to that region. See Managing Regions for more information.
   • Destination Bucket: Select the name destination bucket for replication. Click Change Compartment to select a bucket in a different compartment. Ensure you have the required policy access for the destination bucket.
7. Click Create.

   Note:

   • Replication policy creation does not automatically create a destination bucket. Create the destination bucket before creating the replication policy on the source bucket.

   • A source or destination bucket can be in the Standard (Object Storage) or Archive Storage tier.

   • Maximum of one replication policy per source bucket is supported.

   • Maximum of one source for each replication destination bucket is supported.

   • Maximum of one destination for each replication source bucket is supported.

   • A destination bucket cannot also be a replication source. Chained replication is not supported.

   • After the replication policy is created, the destination bucket is read-only and updated only by replication from the source bucket. Objects uploaded to the source bucket are automatically replicated to the destination bucket. Objects deleted from the source bucket are automatically deleted from the destination bucket.

   • You cannot delete a replication destination bucket unless you stop replication and make the bucket writable again.
