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, IMS, and Replication Gateway 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.
|
Add asset infrastructure | Before you can monitor and manage data center assets from the console, you must add the asset infrastructure to Veritas Resiliency Platform. The IMS then discovers the asset information for monitoring and operations in the console. |
Infrastructure Pairing | For recovering assets to VMware you have to do following Infrastructure Pairing:
|
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. |
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. You can also use klish to update Resiliency Platform components. |
