Veritas™ Resiliency Platform 2.2 Solutions for VMware

Generating an evacuation plan

Using the Resiliency Platform console you can generate an evacuation plan that lets you evacuate all the assets from the production data center to the recovery data center.

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.

By default only one priority group is created. To add more priority groups, click Change Priority and click the + button. You can drag and drop the VBSs into different priority groups.

Reset to Default removes all priority groups except one. All VBSs are moved into a single priority group.

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 Ignore failures check box while creating the evacuation plan.

If any VBSs and resiliency groups do not fit the evacuation plan criteria, a message is displayed. We recommend that you fix the issues before creating the plan.

Only users with Manage Evacuation Plans permission can create and run the evacuation plans.
