Understanding the terms
The following table explains the key components related to Veritas Resiliency Platform and NetBackup integration.
Term | Description |
|---|---|
Resiliency Platform | The Veritas Resiliency Platform integrated with your NetBackup master server. The Resiliency Manager provides the services required for protecting assets, such as virtual machines, within a resiliency domain. It also provides workload automation services. |
Resiliency manager | The component that provides resiliency capabilities within a resiliency domain. It is composed of loosely coupled services, a distributed data repository, and a management console. |
Infrastructure management server (IMS) | The 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. The IMS is deployed as a virtual appliance. To achieve scale, multiple IMSs can be deployed in the same data center. |
Data center | The location that contains source data center and a target data center. Each data center has one or more IMSs. |
Resiliency group | The unit of management and control in Resiliency Platform. You organize related assets into a resiliency group and manage and monitor them as a single entity. |
Automated virtual machines | The assets that are a part of a resiliency group and you can perform actions, such as migrate, takeover, rehearse, and restore. |
Recovery readiness | Measured based on migrate, takeover, restore or rehearsal operations.
|
Recovery Point Object (RPO) | Recovery Point Objective is the point in time you can recover to in the event of a disaster. For example, if you have an RPO of 4 hours on your critical virtual machines then you lose 4 hours of data, as 4 hours ago is the last point in time to which you can recover data on your VMs. |
