- Glossary
Glossary
- activity
A task or an operation performed on a resiliency group.
- add-on
An additional software package that can be installed on hosts by the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) for specialized uses.
- asset infrastructure
The data center assets that can be added to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) for IMS discovery and monitoring. For example, virtual machines or virtualization servers.
- assets
In Veritas Resiliency Platform, the virtual machines or applications that have been discovered by the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) and that can be grouped into resiliency groups.
- klish
Command Line Interface SHell. Provides the command line menu on the virtual appliance for use after the initial bootstrap configuration.
- data center
A location that contains asset infrastructure to be managed by Veritas Resiliency Platform.
For the disaster recovery use case, the resiliency domain must contain at least two data centers in different locations, a production data center and recovery data center. Each data center has a Resiliency Manager and one or more IMSs.
- host
Physical servers, virtual machines, or Hyper-V servers that are added to the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) as hosts.
Adding the assets as hosts installs the host package that is used by the IMS for discovery and monitoring.
- Infrastructure Management Server (IMS)
The Veritas Resiliency Platform 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.
- migrate
A planned activity involving graceful shutdown of virtual machines at the production data center and starting them at the recovery data center. In this process, replication ensures that consistent virtual machine data is made available at the recovery data center.
- persona
A user role that has access to a predefined set of jobs (operations). Used to assign permissions to users and groups for Veritas Resiliency Platform web console operations.
- product role
The function configured for a Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance.
For example, a virtual appliance can be configured as a Resiliency Manager, Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) or both.
- production data center
The data center that is normally used for business. See also recovery data center.
- recovery data center
The data center that is used if a disaster scenario occurs. See also production data center.
- rehearsal
A zero-downtime test that mimics the configuration, application data, storage, and the failover behavior of the resiliency group.
Rehearsal verifies the ability of the resiliency group to fail over to the recovery data center during a disaster.
- resiliency domain
The logical scope of a Resiliency Platform deployment. It can extend across multiple data centers.
- resiliency group
The unit of management and control in Veritas Resiliency Platform. Related assets are organized into a resiliency group and managed and monitored as a single entity.
- Resiliency Manager
The Veritas Resiliency Platform component that provides resiliency capabilities within a resiliency domain. It is composed of loosely coupled services, a distributed data repository, and a management console.
- resiliency plan
A collection of tasks or operations, along with the relevant assets, which are performed in a predefined sequence.
- resiliency plan template
A template defining the execution sequence of a collection of tasks or operations.
- take over
An activity initiated by a user when the production data center is down due to a disaster and the virtual machines need to be restored at the recovery data center to provide business continuity.
- tier
Within a virtual business service (VBS), resiliency groups are arranged as tiers. Tiers represent the logical dependencies between the resiliency groups and determine the relative order in which the resiliency groups start and stop.
- virtual appliance
An appliance that includes the operating system environment and the software application which are deployed together as a virtual machine.
The Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliance is deployed as a virtual machine and then configured with basic settings and a role (for example, Resiliency Manager).
- virtual business service (VBS)
A multi-tier IT service where each VBS tier hosts one or more resiliency groups. A VBS groups multiple services as a single unit for visualization, automation, and controlled start and stop in the desired order. You can also migrate/takeover the entire VBS.
- web console
The web-based management console on the Resiliency Manager that is used to configure the settings for the resiliency domain and perform operations.
