Performing the rehearsal operation using NetBackup images
Configure VMware virtual machines for protection using a service objective where the data availability mode is Copy. Use the Rehearsal option on the Resiliency Platform console to ensure the disaster recovery readiness of the assets in your protected resiliency groups.
Then during the rehearsal operation virtual machines are created on the recovery data center with the selected backup image. Note that the virtual machines that are created on the recovery data center have a different name and are in a different folder than the virtual machines on the production data center.
To perform the rehearsal operation using NetBackup images
- Navigate
Assets (navigation pane) > Resiliency Group(s) tab
- Double-click the resiliency group to view the details page. Click Rehearsal.
- Select the target data center and the type of image to be used. You can choose the latest image or select one from the required time range.
- Click Next and Finish to submit the wizard.
Before you perform the rehearsal operation again, you need to ensure that the previous rehearsal is cleaned up by running the Cleanup Rehearsal operation.
