Monitoring 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.Managing and protecting virtual machines using VRP 1.1 - Part 1

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. License Entitlement Provides details about the licenses that are deployed for various Veritas Resiliency Platform solutions. VM Inventory Provides platform distribution and operating system (OS) distribution details about the virtual machines that are deployed in the data centers in the form of a pie chart. 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. For more information on reports you can view the following topics: Managing reports Viewing reports in VMware Solutions guide Viewing reports in Hyper-V Solutions guide Viewing reports in Applications Solutions guide Veritas Resiliency Platform documentation can be found on the SORT website.
Enable Deduplication on NetBackup 7.5
Hi, We have got NetBackup 7.5.0.6 running on Windows Server 2008 and currently backing up data on SAN Storage. I want to enable deduplication on it.

Veritas Resiliency Platform provides a console for creating and customizing resiliency plans. A resiliency plan is a customized set of tasks that you can run as a single operation. You typically add a task to the resiliency plan and also specify the particular assets on which to run the task. To know more about resiliency plans, see: About resiliency plans Creating a new resiliency plan Editing a resiliency plan Deleting a resiliency plan Executing a resiliency plan Viewing a resiliency plan If you intend to use the same sequence of tasks on different assets, you can create a resiliency template. You can save the template and use it to create multiple resiliency plans. To know more about resiliency plan templates, see: Creating a new resiliency plan template Editing a resiliency plan template Deleting a resiliency plan template Viewing a resiliency plan template You can also create a schedule for a resiliency plan. To know more about managing schedules for resiliency plans, see: Creating a schedule for a resiliency plan Editing a schedule for a resiliency plan Deleting a schedule for a resiliency plan Viewing a schedule for a resiliency plan Using the Resiliency Platform console, you can add a custom script execution task in the resiliency plan. You can use the custom script execution task to perform customized operations before executing the next step of the resiliency plan. To know more about custom scripts, see: About custom script Using custom scripts in resiliency plans You can also include a manual task in the resiliency plan to temporarily pause an operation of the resiliency plan. To know more about manual task, see: About manual task Using manual tasks in resiliency plans Veritas Resiliency Platform documentation can be found on the SORT website.
