About deploying the Resiliency Platform virtual appliances
Veritas Resiliency Platform is deployed as a virtual appliance. A virtual appliance is a virtual machine image consisting of a pre-configured operating system environment with a software application installed on it. This virtual machine image can be deployed on a hypervisor. Once the Resiliency Platform virtual appliance gets deployed, you are required to configure the Resiliency Platform component through the product bootstrap.
Note:
There is no sequence required for deploying and configuring the Resiliency Platform components. You can deploy and configure the components in any sequence on source as well as target data centers.
There are three virtual appliances available for Resiliency Platform to deploy: Resiliency Manager, Infrastructure Management Server (IMS), Replication Gateway. You need to deploy the Replication Gateway only if you choose to use Resiliency Platform Data Mover for replicating your data. If you choose to use any third-party array-based or hypervisor-based replication, you only need to deploy the Resiliency Manager and IMS in your environment.
Following is the list of considerations for deploying the virtual appliances:
For recovery to premises data center, you typically deploy and configure at least one Resiliency Manager and one Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) in the production data center and at least one Resiliency Manager and one Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) in the recovery data center.
In case you plan to use Resiliency Platform Data Mover for recovery of your assets to premises data center, you need to deploy at least one Replication Gateway in the production data center and one Replication Gateway in the recovery data center.
For recovery to cloud data center, you typically deploy and configure at least one Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) and one Replication Gateway in the production data center and one Resiliency Manager, one IMS, and one Replication Gateway in the recovery data center.
The Replication Gateway on the production data center must have access to the ESX servers for the production virtual machines to be replicated. The Replication Gateway on the recovery data center must have access to the ESX servers where the recovery virtual machines will be provisioned.
All the Resiliency Platform virtual appliance are shipped with single disk.
While deploying the virtual appliances, it is prompted to attach a new empty disk of the required size. The RM disk size should be minimum 100 GB and IMS disk size should 40 GB.
While upgrading the virtual appliances, it will be prompted to attach the existing data disk of the previous version virtual appliances.
In the cloud environment (AWS, Azure), Marketplace offerings are available for upgrading the Veritas Resiliency Platform virtual appliances.
Refer to the topic Deployment workflows See Deployment workflows.
Based on the virtualization technology in your environment, choose any one of the following methods to deploy the virtual appliances in the on-premises data center:
Table: Deploying components in the on-premises data center
Virtualization technology | Steps to deploy the components |
---|---|
Hyper-V | See Deploying the virtual appliance through Hyper-V Manager. |
VMware | See Deploying the virtual appliance through VMware vSphere Client. |
Based on your cloud data center, choose any one of the following methods to deploy the virtual appliances in the cloud data center:
Table: Deploying components in the cloud data center
Cloud data center | Steps to deploy the components |
---|---|
AWS | See Deploying the virtual appliances in AWS through AWS Marketplace. See Deploying the virtual appliances in AWS using OVA files. |
