Install the new RecoverPoint/EX cluster: Begin by deploying the new RecoverPoint/EX cluster at the

new data center. This involves setting up the physical or virtual appliances that will form the new

cluster.

Add the license to the new cluster: Once the new cluster is installed, the next step is to add the

appropriate licenses. This is crucial as it enables the new cluster’s functionality within the

RecoverPoint environment.

Connect the new cluster to the existing system: After the licensing is in place, the new cluster needs

to be connected to the existing RecoverPoint system. This includes configuring the communication

between the new and existing clusters to ensure proper replication and synchronization.

For detailed guidance on these steps, the RecoverPoint Deployment Manager can be used. It

provides a suite of wizards that assist with various operations, including modifying cluster settings

and adding new clusters to an existing system1. Always ensure to use the latest version of the

Deployment Manager and follow the instructions provided within the tool for a non-disruptive

setup1.

It is also recommended to consult the Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Installation and

Deployment Guide for comprehensive instructions and best practices2. Additionally, for automation

and scripting of deployment tasks, including adding new clusters, refer to the documentation on

RecoverPoint for VMs Deployment Automation3.
