Product Documentation

A task or an operation performed on a resiliency group.

An additional software package that can be installed on hosts by the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) for specialized uses.

The data center assets that can be added to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) for IMS discovery and monitoring. For example, virtualization servers, virtual machines, enclosures, and applications.

The virtual machines, physical machines, or applications that have been discovered by the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) and that can be grouped into resiliency groups.

A location that contains asset infrastructure to be managed by Veritas Resiliency Platform.

For the disaster recovery use case, the resiliency domain must contain at least two data centers in different locations, a source data center and target data center. Each data center has a Resiliency Manager and one or more IMSs.

In Veritas Resiliency Platform, the term hosts means Application host, Resiliency Platform Data Mover host, Storage discovery host, VMware Discovery host, and Hyper-V host.

The Veritas Resiliency Platform component that discovers, monitors, and manages the asset infrastructure within a data center. The IMS transmits information about the asset infrastructure to the Resiliency Manager.

Command Line Interface SHell. Provides the command line menu on the virtual appliance for use after the initial bootstrap configuration.

A planned activity involving graceful shutdown of assets at the source data center and starting them at the target data center. In this process, replication ensures that consistent data is made available at the target data center.

A user role that has access to a predefined set of jobs (operations). Used to assign permissions to users and groups for Veritas Resiliency Platform web console operations.

A zero-downtime test that mimics the configuration, application data, storage, and the failover behavior of the resiliency group.

Rehearsal verifies the ability of the resiliency group to fail over to the recovery data center during a disaster.

The Veritas Resiliency Platform component that performs data replication between the source and the target data center.

The logical scope of a Resiliency Platform deployment. It can extend across multiple data centers.

The unit of management and control in Veritas Resiliency Platform. Related assets are organized into a resiliency group to be managed and monitored as a single entity.

The Veritas Resiliency Platform component that provides resiliency capabilities within a resiliency domain. It is composed of loosely coupled services, a distributed data repository, and a management web console.

A collection of tasks or operations, along with the relevant assets, which are performed in a predefined sequence.

A template defining the execution sequence of a collection of tasks or operations.

To enable replication using Resiliency Platform Data Mover replication technology, you need to add an asset and prepare it for replication. Asset can be a physical machine or a virtual machine.

The data center that is normally used for business.

An activity initiated by a user when the source data center is down due to a disaster and the assets need to be restored at the target data center to provide business continuity.

The data center that is used if a disaster scenario occurs.

Within a virtual business service (VBS), resiliency groups are arranged as tiers. Tiers represent the logical dependencies between the resiliency groups and determine the relative order in which operations are performed on the resiliency groups.

VMware framework consisting of vSphere APIs for I/O Filtering. This framework enables Veritas Resiliency Platform to run filters on ESXi servers and intercept any I/O requests from a guest operating system to a virtual disk.

An appliance that includes the operating system environment and the software application which are deployed together as a virtual machine.

The Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance is deployed as a virtual machine and then configured with basic settings and a role (for example, Resiliency Manager).

A multi-tier IT service where each VBS tier hosts one or more resiliency groups. A VBS groups multiple services as a single unit for visualization, automation, and recovery in case of a disaster in the desired order.

A virtual machine, which belongs to the resiliency group, is termed as Veritas Replication Set. All the disks attached to this virtual machine, including the boot and data disk, constitute a Veritas Replication Set. The write order fidelity is maintained across all disks in a given replication set.

The web-based management console on the Resiliency Manager that is used to configure the settings for the resiliency domain and perform operations.
