Protecting VMware virtual machines using Resiliency Platform Data Mover - an overview
To protect VMware virtual machines using Resiliency Platform Data Mover replication, ensure that the virtual machines are not already configured with another replication technology.
Before you can perform disaster recovery (DR) operations such as rehearse, migrate, and takeover on virtual machines using Resiliency Platform Data Mover, you must prepare the replication environment, and configure assets for disaster recovery. This section lists the key steps required to configure disaster recovery of VMware virtual machines using Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover.
Table: Configuring disaster recovery of VMware virtual machines using Data Mover
Action | Description | Refer to |
---|---|---|
Deploy the Replication Gateways | Deploy and configure the Veritas Replication Gateway virtual appliances on both data centers | Refer to the Deployment Guide. |
Create the gateway pairs | Configure the Replication Gateway pairs to be used for replication | |
Add the VMware asset infrastructure | Prepare the VMware virtualization servers for the Resiliency Platform environment Add the VMware virtualization servers to Resiliency Platform at both data centers | Refer to the Deployment Guide. |
Prepare the virtual machines | Ensure that VMware Tools, storage requirements for Replication Gateway and other prerequisites are configured on virtual machines | See Prerequisites for configuring VMware virtual machines for disaster recovery. |
Configure your assets for disaster recovery | Group the required virtual machines in a resiliency group and choose the appropriate service objective to configure disaster recovery for the resiliency group | See Managing virtual machines for remote recovery (DR) using Resiliency Platform Data Mover. |
Rehearse DR operations | Test your disaster recovery environment to ensure readiness | |
Perform DR operations | Migrate or take over your virtual machines and resync the replicated data | See Migrating a resiliency group of virtual machines. |
