About evacuation plan
An evacuation plan lets you evacuate all the assets from the production data center to the recovery data center with a single click operation.
Using the evacuation plan template you can define the sequence in which the virtual business services (VBS) should be migrated from the production data center to the recovery data center. Resiliency groups that do not belong to any VBSs, are appended at the end of the evacuation plan workflow after the VBS.
You can create an evacuation plan using only resiliency groups also. Having a VBS is not compulsory.
An evacuation plan has Priorities. You can add the VBSs to different priority levels. Ordering of resiliency groups is done by the Resiliency Platform.
If an asset within a VBS or a resiliency group fails to recover, the evacuation plan skips the asset and continues the process for the remaining assets. To do this you need to select the check box while creating the evacuation plan.
If the check box is not selected the evacuation plan stops, enabling you to fix the problem, and proceed ahead. If you choose to restart the workflow then the already executed steps are re-executed with the same results.
Only users with Manage Evacuation Plans permission can create and run the evacuation plans.
VBS or resiliency group that belong to the evacuation plan must be configured for disaster recovery.
VBS can contain resiliency groups some of which are configured for disaster recovery and some using the service objective with data availability as Copy.
Resiliency group must belong to only one VBS.
When you generate a plan, an appropriate warning is shown listing the assets that are excluded from the plan.
On completing the evacuation plan, you can perform the following operations:
Evacuate
Rehearse evacuation
Cleanup evacuation rehearsal
Regenerate
An alert is raised and you need to perform the operation in the following scenarios:
VBSs are added, modified, or deleted.
Resiliency groups are added and configured for disaster recovery.
Resiliency groups which were configured for disaster recovery are deleted.
Existing resiliency group is configured for disaster recovery.
No action is required in the following scenarios:
Resiliency groups are modified.
Resiliency groups which are not configured for disaster recovery are deleted.
When you run the , , , or the operation, you can view the workflow details in the Activities view.
