Rehearse operations - Resiliency Platform Data Mover
Before you can perform a rehearse operation that uses Resiliency Platform Data Mover, map production network with rehearsal network. The configuration maps the source and rehearsal virtual machine. The rehearsal network simulates the production network environment so that the tests of the application and the workload on the rehearsal network represent a realistic scenario.
During the disaster recovery rehearsal, Veritas Resiliency Platform creates a temporary virtual machine in addition to the rehearsal virtual machine. The temporary virtual machine is created for storage optimization using VMWare's Linked Clone technology. Veritas Resiliency Platform creates a snapshot in the target data center of the virtual machines in the source data center. Resiliency Platform then provisions the virtual machines in the rehearsal network. The virtual machines are created from the snapshot. You can bring up the virtual machines in the rehearsal network to test that the failover works as expected. At any point in time, only one rehearse operation is allowed for a resiliency group.
When you are satisfied with the testing of the simulated failover to the target data center, use the rehearsal cleanup operation to clean up the rehearsal virtual machines in the resiliency group. The cleanup operation deletes all of the temporary objects that were created during the rehearsal. Without performing the rehearsal cleanup operation, the configuration does not allow to perform migrate or takeover operations.
