-    Bugzilla:
-        1470283
-
-    Configure 1 appliance for use as a reporting db server, with region
-    99. Create zones zone-99-a and zone-99-b.
-    Configure a 2nd appliance as a remote appliance, with region 0. Create
-    zones zone-0-a and zone-0-b.
-    In the web UI of the 1st appliance, change the zone of the appliance.
-    Verify that only the zones for this appliance"s region (i.e.,
-    zone-99-a and zone-99-b) appear in the drop-down list.
-    1.) Set up first appliance:
-    a.) Request appliance that isn"t pre-configured.
-    b.) ssh to appliance and run appliance_console.
-    c.) Choose:
-    > Configure Database
-    > Create key
-    > Create Internal Database
-    Should this appliance run as a standalone database server?    ? (Y/N):
-    |N|
-    Enter the database region number: 99
-    Enter the database password on 127.0.0.1: smartvm
-    d.) Log in to the web UI and enable only the following Server Roles:
-    Reporting
-    Scheduler
-    User Interface
-    Web Services
-    e.) Create two more zones: tpapaioa-99-a and tpapaioa-99-b
-    2.) set up second appliance:
-    a.) request appliance that is pre-configured.
-    b.) Log in to the web UI and enable replication:
-    Administrator > Configuration > Settings > Region 0 > Replication >
-    Type: Remote > Save
-    3.) on the first appliance:
-    a.) set up replication for the second appliance:
-    Administrator > Configuration > Settings > Region 99 > Replication >
-    Type: Global > Add Subscription >
-    Database    vmdb_production
-    Host        <ip address of 2nd appliance>
-    Username    root
-    Password    smartvm
-    Port        5432
-    > Accept > Save
-    4.) on the second appliance, create two more zones: tpapaioa-0-a and
-    tpapaioa-0-b.
-    5.) on the first appliance, click on the appliance"s Zone drop-down
-    menu, and verify that only tpapaioa-99-a and tpapaioa-99-b are
-    visible:
-    Administrator > Configuration > Server > Zone
