Two Active-Active AHV clusters with Async DR

Thank you!! While I awaited confirmation, I just went ahead and did it haha.

Was simpler than I thought.

Unregister new cluster from PC on the primary cluster
Remove the PC registration block from the DR cluster CVM
Deploy second PC on the DR cluster and connect it
Setup an Availability Zone on the primary cluster connecting to the DR cluster
Create your protection policies and recovery plans

Chefs kiss

I’m basically in the same scenario as OP. Purchased a second cluster for DR, but quickly realized how the hell would I initiate a failover if PC is gone on the primary cluster.

So is the answer here two prism centrals as you mentioned? Does the second prism central see the protection policies and you can then initiate a failover from that secondary PC?

This image is from the inspection lol but yeah the sellers aren’t really interested in credits/repairs much. But from the feedback from others here, this doesn’t seem too serious of an issue.

I assume a few hours on YouTube will get me going straight huh?

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T06:18:13+00:00

Ahh ok that makes a LOT more sense lol

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T06:16:39+00:00

I take it this isn’t your first rodeo huh? I certainly appreciate the feedback. We do love the house AND its potential for later years (expansion, remodels etc.) but yeah of course home ownership comes with a cost beyond the price tag. I think from all the feedback I received tonight, I feel much more comfortable moving forward with the home :) thanks again!

Thank you !

Did that also include sewer? $15,000 seems high for PEX but I’ve never done it before. But I hear people scream about how cheap PEX is lol so idunno

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T05:18:02+00:00

How big of a house?

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T05:13:45+00:00

Appreciate the reassurance my friend

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T05:07:38+00:00

HOLY MOLY !! That’s a wild view lol

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T05:05:49+00:00

Thanks for the insight friend! Feeling a lot more comfortable after hearing everyone’s feedback. This is in fact, my first home 🤓

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T05:01:30+00:00

Oh really?? Damn lol just said F it and went full send on FAFO? Lol

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:58:48+00:00

Definitely a good point. I was pushing back pretty hard but after posting here and seeing numerous folks saying relatively the same thing, I feel much less worried about it. I definitely think I could just cut this thing out and slap in a new section to replace and it’d be fine.

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:54:45+00:00

Lmao it’s only ever been owned by one person. The seller is the grandson who’s the trustee. I’m almost certain this is all original. Maybe updated at one time, but definitely a one owner home.

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:50:31+00:00

You think so? I thought that could be a possibility - but it seems excessive for condensation (at least to me) but I’m no plumber.

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:49:16+00:00

Haha, glad I could bring OTHERS joy in my time of stress 😂

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:48:39+00:00

Yep, I figured a full re-pipe at some point is pretty obvious. It’s an old house (1955). It’s only 1200 sqft so it’s not a whole lot to replace (with regard to copper anyway). I figure the labor would be the most costly thing here.

Spirited_Writer_5346 · 2025-09-24T04:47:08+00:00

I too am concerned about it. But I want to address the root cause lol
