Building a new Solarwinds enviroment

Question

Hi all

Currently in the proccess of setting up a solarwinds enviroment with full fail over capabilities.

So ill be having a duplicate set up of the primary sql, pollers and webbroswer in another Datacentre.

My question really is when adding devices into the active pollers in Data centre 1, Do i need to manually add the same devices to the pollers in Datacentre 2?? Or do i leave those pollers active and collecting data at the same time??

Also is VPN a viable method of the sql servers replicating their data across?

I do not believe so, but can't be 100% sure.  I take it that your subnets do not span datacenters.  You may discuss with engineering what your options are unless someone on here has suggestions.

Is it still possible to set up HA VIP if the pollers which are located are on different subnets or vlan as there in different Datacentres?? if not then that would mean having the fail over poller as its own instance of monitoring incurring addtionnal licience costings if that makes sense.
