XDR

To deploy a cluster as XDR source, you should configure dc-security-config-file config in CR file in aerospikeConfig.xdr.datacenter section. Also configure dc-node-address-port in same section for destination DC. After configuring these values in the CR file apply CR file to deploy the cluster.

Enable XDR and create a remote DC

Following is the XDR specific config for the Aerospike cluster CR file.

Remote DC Credentials

If destination cluster is security enabled then aerospike-secret created in this section should also have security_credentials_DC1.txt file for destination DC.

$ cat security_credentials_DC1.txt
credentials
{
   username xdr_user
   password xdr_pass
}

Deploy the cluster
