To set up the Object replica link for the S3 bucket created in the previous step, click the + button against the Object Replica Links on the source FlashBlade by navigating to the Object Replica Links tab under the Protection section.
-
Select the local bucket from the source FlashBlade that will be the source of the object replication. Select the Remote FlashBlade and enter the remote bucket (in this case, it will be the same bucket name). Select the remote credential we just created from the previous steps and click the Create button to establish the uni-directional replication from the first FlashBlade to the second FlashBlade.
-
The status column should show the current status of the object replica link along with the recovery point timeline.

Repeat the above steps on the second FlashBlade as well to set up the reverse directional replication. This is required in case of the first FlashBlade failure where Splunk indexers will be switched over to the second FlashBlade until the first source FlashBlade comes back online.
