Stupid question, I know. But I swear I've been on The Google and always come up with an article that says I should have a backup replica, and I've made the replica package...
...but how do I actually make a replica instance??
Is it just another deployment from scratch, or is there a tool or something?
Thanks!

See the following high level steps below from the
RSA Authentication Manager 8.3 Setup and Configuration Guide
Perform Deployment Tasks 54
Generate and Download a Replica Package File 54
Run Quick Setup on the Replica Instance 55
Attach the Replica Instance to the Primary Instance 57
Just set up another RSA server same as you did the primary, but on quick setup web page, you say it will be a replica, not a primary, then it will want that replica package uploaded.
Ok, I got it. I'd have to either use my original OVA to deploy another one, patch it, then run the quick setup. I think I'm not seeing those options because our contract expired. We're renewing, but of course it would happen now! Though I'd sorta think we bought the license and the Application Manager I don't think has an expiration date, but when I try to download the VMWare OVA it says I can't because of the contract.
Funny enough, it let me download 8.3, so I upgraded the server. The licenses are all good...
Anyway, thanks for the info, that's exactly what I needed.
