The Resiliency Platform Dashboard gives you an overview of your resiliency domain. Use the Dashboard to answer questions such as: Which of my data centers have Resiliency Platform managed assets? What is the mix of my assets by type and platform? Which assets are configured for disaster recovery? Please see the first Dashboard for reference, below, and for more information, you can view the following topic: About the Resiliency Platform Dashboard Using the Veritas Resiliency Platform console, you can generate a variety of reports. The reports are grouped into three broad categories: Inventory: Reports in this category provide information about the data centers and applications, and the virtual machines that are deployed in the data centers. Recovery Assessment: This category lists the reports that are related to the disaster recovery operations such as the Migrate and Takeover report, and the Rehearsal report. Risk: This category has two reports; Current Risk and Risk History. These reports show the summary and details of all the current and historical risks that occurred in the environment. Reports can be scoped on the data center or global. You can subscribe for a report on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis, or on predefined days of the week, or run on demand. Reports are available in the HTML and PDF format or as a comma-separated file (CSV) file. The second table following these example tables lists the reports and a brief description of each. Name Description Global View A world map that identifies the data centers. Lines between the data center indicates the replication. Resiliency Groups and Virtual Business Services summaries The number of resiliency groups and Virtual Business Services (VBS) that are configured for disaster recovery (DR), as well as those at risk and normal. Virtual Machines by Type and Platform A summary of virtual machines in all the data centers or information on a single data center by percentage and the platform types by number. Application environment The number of applications and application types as well as those managed by InfoScale. Applications by Type A summary of application types in all the data centers or in a single data center. Top Resiliency Groups by Replication Lag Ranks the resiliency groups according to how long it takes the recovery data center to be in sync with the active data center. Virtual Machines and Applications by Recovery Readiness The percentage of virtual machines and applications that are protected, unprotected, and unmanaged. Report Name Description Inventory Resiliency Groups by Datacenter Provides details about the resiliency groups in the data centers across all sites.

Virtual Infrastructure Inventory Provides information about the virtual infrastructure inventory across data centers. A pie charts show the platform and virtualization technology distribution of the virtual servers across all data centers. Recovery Assessement Migrate and Takeover Provides a summary of the last migrate and takeover operations that were performed on the resiliency groups. A pie chart shows the percentage of successful and failed operations. Rehearse Provides a summary of the latest rehearse operations that were performed on the resiliency groups. A pie chart shows the percentage of successful and failed operations. A list of resiliency groups on which the rehearse operation had failed is shown. A table displays the details of the last performed rehearse operation on the resiliency groups. Risk Current Risk Provides the summary and detail information about all the current risks in the data center. The high-level summary shows the total number of risks and its distribution by severity. You can view three different charts for information on severity-wise distribution, unresolved risks for a time period, and risks generated in last 24 hours. Risk History Provides a summary and a detailed analysis of information about the historical risks in your environment during the specified period. The high-level summary shows the total number of risks and its distribution by the time the risks have been open. You can view three different charts for information on open and new risks, average time taken to resolve a risk, and the top five risks that took the longest time to resolve.

Veritas Resiliency Platform brings separate data centers together in a resiliency domain for managing and monitoring workload automation and disaster recovery (DR). Resiliency Platform provides two types of servers, which are deployed as virtual appliances on the data centers. Resiliency Manager The main interface for managing the resiliency domain. A Resiliency Manager is deployed at each data center. After you complete a simple configuration on the virtual appliance, you do all further configuration and operations from an easy-to-use browser-based console. Since the built-in replication between Resiliency Managers keeps the data at each Resiliency Manager synchronized, it does not matter which Resiliency Manager you connect to in the resiliency domain – you see the same information on the browser. Resiliency Manager Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) The server that collects data from the customer assets at the data center. The IMS orchestrates with the APIs of the various platforms that Resiliency Platform integrates with, for example virtualization platforms, such as VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as array-based replication and replication appliances. Once you have added the assets that you want to monitor and protect to the IMS, the IMS continues to automatically discover their status. Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) Resiliency Platform release 1.1 adds support for using the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager server for discovery and management of Veritas InfoScale applications. Veritas Resiliency Platform support for InfoScale applications You can find other versions of Veritas Resiliency Platform on the SORT documentation page.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsVeritas Resiliency Platform 1.1 disaster recovery
You can use Resiliency Platform for automated disaster recovery of replicated virtual machines and applications. Replication in a Resiliency Platform deployment You use the browser-based console to create resiliency groups of assets (virtual machines or applications) to manage together. You apply DR configuration to resiliency groups to prepare for disaster recovery operations. Once DR is configured, you can use automated one-click DR operations, such as Migrate or Takeover, on the resiliency groups. Resiliency Platform also provides DR testing, called Rehearsal, to ensure that the remote site is functioning properly. For more information on DR in Resiliency Platform, see the following topics: VMware virtual machines VMware virtual machines disaster recovery - an overview of key steps Hyper-V virtual machines Hyper-V virtual machines disaster recovery - an overview of key steps Applications An overview of key steps required for disaster recovery of applications For details on supported replication platforms, virtualization platforms, and applications, refer to: Veritas Resiliency Platform 1.1 Hardware and Software Compatibility List You can find other versions of Veritas Resiliency Platform on the SORT documentation page.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsMonitoring risks in Veritas Resiliency Platform
You can use Veritas Resiliency Platform console for risk detection and risk assessment in your environment. Veritas Resiliency Platform notifies you about the vulnerabilities that might impact the recoverability or continuity of your protected assets. Following are some categories of risks that are analyzed by Veritas Resiliency Platform: Risks that may impact the ability to recover and run the application on the recovery site. Risks that may impact the ability to run your applications without disruption either on your production site or on your recovery site. Risks that may impact the ability to fulfill the service level agreements (SLA) for your application. To learn more about risk insight feature and predefined risk signatures in Veritas Resiliency Platform, see: About risk insight Displaying risk information Predefined risks in Veritas Resiliency Platform Veritas Resiliency Platform also enables you to set up the replication lag threshold. Risk insight alerts you when the replication lags beyond the threshold that you specified. To learn more about setting up replication lag threshold, see: Setting up replication lag threshold Risk insight generates two types of risk reports that help you take actions to prevent such risks: Current risk report: Provides the summary and detail information about all the current risks in your data center. Historical risk report: Provides a summary and a detailed analysis of information about the risks in your environment during the specified period. Veritas Resiliency Platform documentation can be found on the SORT website.2.2KViews0likes0Comments
