I am using ZAPI below is the code snippet.

my $zapi = my $self = NaServer->new('netlab102.etc.test.gs.com', .....); #R2 host connection using NMSDK 5.3
$zapi->set_style('HOSTS');
$zapi->set_bindings_family('7-MODE');
$zapi->{debug_style} = "NA_PRINT_DONT_PARSE";

$zapi->vfiler_dr_configure('ipaddrs' => { 'ipaddr-info' => {interface => 'ifgrp1', 'ip-address' => '....', 'netmask' => '.... }},

'remote-authentication-info' => {'authentication-info' => { password => <PASSWD>, username => <USERNAME> }},

'remote-vfiler-location' => {'vfiler-location' => {filer => 'netlab101.etc.test.gs.com', vfiler => 'fwlab011vf.etc.test.gs.com'}},

'is-synchronous' => 0, 'use-secure-command-channel' => 1, );

OUTPUT:
