Managing applications using Resiliency Platform
You can use the Veritas Resiliency Platform to manage and protect your applications that are configured in the resiliency domain. For more information on supported applications and their versions refer to Hardware and Software Compatibility List (HSCL). The Resiliency Platform supports application discovery on physical hosts as well as VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines.
When hosts are added to and discovered by the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS), applications residing on those hosts are displayed on the Resiliency Platform. They are listed on the Unmanaged tab. Note that for discovering Oracle instances, the oratab file must be present and must contain the entries for oracle applications.
For certain application instances, you need to provide additional information such as application database file path, or user name and password to complete the discovery. These are listed on the Application tab with a Pending Inputs warning.
Resiliency Platform has inbuilt support for Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) and Oracle applications. To discover, manage, and protect other applications, you need to add them using the Add Custom Application wizard.
You can also discover and manage applications using the Application Enablement Software Development Kit (SDK). You can create a bundle with predefined Perl APIs and upload the same on the Resiliency Manager. You can either auto deploy the bundle on all the associated hosts in your data center or do it manually by selecting the managed hosts. The Perl scripts in the bundle developed using the SDK discover and report the applications on the Resiliency Platform console. For more information about developing the bundle, refer to Application Enablement SDK guide.
Resiliency Platform lets you manage applications by grouping them into resiliency groups. Some examples of Resiliency Platform operations are create a resiliency group, edit the resiliency group to add or remove applications, start and stop the resiliency groups and so on. Applications must be completely discovered to add them into resiliency groups.
Resiliency Platform provides disaster recovery (DR) specific operations to protect your applications that are grouped into a resiliency group. For example you can configure disaster recovery for the resiliency group and also migrate the resiliency group to another data center.
