Set up trust relationships

Before your Appliances will work in production, you need to set up the trust relationship between the HA Appliance and the DR Appliance. Moreover, if you have a DR Mirror, you must set up the trust relationship between the DR Appliance and the DR Mirror.

Also, you need to re-establish this trust relationship between the HA Appliance and DR Appliance if you change their roles, which is required in the event of a disaster (see (Workflow) Fail over HA Appliance to DR Appliance).

Therefore, just in case you have a disaster, it’s best practice to set up the trust relationship in advance so that it’s immediately available when you need it. As such, consider performing the following procedure on both the HA Appliance and, if you have a DR Mirror, the DR Appliance.

To set up the trust relationship between HA Appliance and DR Appliance:

1.	Log on to the HA Appliance’s onQ Portal.

2.	Go to APPLIANCE CONFIG tab > onQ (REMOTE) page.

Simply click on the Set Up Remote Trust button.

Example of HA Appliance:
