The following prerequisites are required for AppSync and PowerStore:
- The AppSync server and host plug-in software are installed and configured, the host applications are discovered, and the vCenter server or servers are configured (if applicable), according to the AppSync Installation and Configuration Guide.
- Please check the AppSync support matrix for the latest PowerStore and AppSync support as items may change over time.
- To support PowerStore replication, a minimum of two single appliance clusters of PowerStore is required. Both the local and remote PowerStore appliances must be registered within one instance of AppSync.
- An Advanced AppSync license is required for each PowerStore appliance when they will be performing replication use cases. Advanced licenses allow AppSync to manage more than one appliance, array, or cluster, in one instance of AppSync. See the AppSync documentation and licensing guide for further details.
- The PowerStore appliance or appliances are added to AppSync, ensuring the AppSync user has the Resource Administrator role.
Note: See the AppSync User and Administration Guide for more details about the supported functions for each type of application. The “Service plan overview” section depicts the latest support for each PowerStore replication type.
