This page documents the steps necessary to initialize site replication between two MinIO AIStor deployments. The procedures assume at least two existing MinIO AIStor installations. Only one of the two sites can have any data at the time of setup. All other sites must be empty of buckets and objects. All sites must otherwise having the following matching configurations: AIStor Server version Key Management Server for Server-Side Encryption Identity Manager Ensure each peer site has a Load Balancer, Reverse Proxy, or similar network control plane component to handle routing connections to its AIStor Server nodes. Using a single node hostname for a peer site creates a single point of failure for site replication where replication can fail if that single node goes down.
