When the two HA nodes are in different Azure regions, Azure virtual network peering must be used for the nodes to communicate with each other.
For illustration, the following peering configuration values will be used for the two Central Management System virtual machines.
Field | CM-1 | CM-2 |
|---|---|---|
Virtual network/subnet | Net-1/Sub-1 | Net-2/Sub-2 |
This peering link | Peer-1 | Peer-2 |
Peering link name (remote) | Peer-2 | Peer-1 |
Subscription (remote) | Subscript-2 | Subscript-1 |
Virtual network (remote) | Net-2/Sub-2 | Net-1/Sub-1 |
In the Azure portal Dashboard, select Virtual Machines.
Select the CM-1 virtual machine.
Under Essentials, locate the Virtual network/subnet and Subscription fields and record their values for later use.
Select the CM-2 virtual machine and repeat the previous step.
In the Azure portal Dashboard, select Virtual Networks.
Select Net-1/Sub-1 and then click the Peerings tab.
Click Add and complete the fields in the Add peering page as shown in the table above. Specify other settings according to your network requirements and click Add.
Select Net-2/Sub-2 and repeat the previous two steps.
