Recovering InfoScale applications
Veritas Resiliency Platform lets you manage the InfoScale applications by configuring the corresponding clusters into Infrastructure Management Servers (IMS). The InfoScale applications are automatically discovered in the Resiliency Platform. You can group the InfoScale applications into resiliency groups or VBS to recover, monitor, visualize, and generate reports about these applications in the Resiliency Platform. Before version 3.5, you were required to add Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager into Veritas Resiliency Platform to manage the InfoScale applications. From version 3.5 there is no need to use Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager to manage the InfoScale applications. If you are upgrading from version 3.4 or earlier version where you had configured Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager, then refer to See Configuring InfoScale clusters in Resiliency Platform. topic for how to configure those clusters into Infrastructure Management Servers.
The following diagram depicts the general workflow of configuring the InfoScale applications using Resiliency Platform.

Tasks | More information |
|---|---|
Plan your environment | Refer to the Overview and Planning Guide to know about the product, its components, features, and capabilities. Refer to the Release Notes for release information such as main features, known issues, and limitations. Ensure that the configuration details in your environment are compatible with the requirements mentioned in the checklist. |
Deploy and configure the virtual appliances | Veritas Resiliency Platform is deployed as virtual appliances. Download and deploy the virtual appliances for Resiliency Manager and IMS in both the data centers.
|
Set up the resiliency domain | Set up the infrastructure and basic settings of the Veritas Resiliency Platform resiliency domain. These tasks are performed after you configure the Resiliency Manager and log in to the web console.
|
Create resiliency groups | After adding the assets to Resiliency Platform, you organize the related assets into a resiliency group that you can protect and manage as a single entity. You can create a resiliency group either for basic monitoring (start or stop virtual machines) or for recovery on local or remote data center. |
Advanced features | Virtual business services, resiliency plans, and evacuation plans are some of the features of Veritas Resiliency Platform that you can additionally use to customize the process of recovery of your assets. |
Perform remote recovery operations | Once you have configured the resiliency groups for remote recovery, you can perform rehearsal and cleanup rehearsal operations on the resiliency groups. You can also perform migrate, recover, or resync operations on the resiliency groups. |
Monitor assets | You can monitor risks to the recoverability or continuity of your protected assets. Run various reports to view the status of the assets in your data center. And view details about operations such as the status (in-progress, finished, or failed), start and end time, and the objects on which the operation was performed on the Activities page. |
Miscellaneous references | After the virtual appliances are deployed and configured, you are given limited menu-based access to the operating system and the product. You need to use klish menu to manage the configuration-related changes to the product and to troubleshoot. |
