Managing applications for remote recovery (DR)
To provide disaster recovery protection, you organize applications into a resiliency group and apply the remote recovery service objective. The wizard prompts for the inputs that are needed for the selected service objective and for the replication technology. The wizard then implements the configuration that is required for DR operations.
For resiliency groups consisting of Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), the following services start or stop when you perform any disaster recovery (DR) operations:
SQL Server
SQL Server Agent
SQL Server Analysis Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
For resiliency groups consisting of Oracle instances, when the data base is started as a part of any DR operation, Oracle Listener starts if it is not already running.
To manage applications for remote recovery (DR)
- Prerequisites
Ensure that you have completed the configuration prerequisites before you manage the application for remote recovery.
See Prerequisites for configuring applications for disaster recovery.
- Navigate
Assets (navigation pane) > Resiliency Groups tab > Manage & Monitor Virtual Machines or Applications
You can also launch the wizard from the Unmanaged or Overview tabs.
- Select the applications:
On the Select Assets page, use one or more drop-downs to filter your list of applications.
- Drag and drop applications to Selected Instances.
- The next page displays the environment for the selected assets.
- The next page lists the service objectives that are available for the selected applications. You can expand the service objectives to view details. Select the service objective that lets you perform the remote recovery of the applications.
- Select the target (recovery) data center and then select the target data center application for each source data center application. Click Next.
- On the Customize Network page, you can do the following:
Choose Apply production - DNS customization to customize the DNS setting while performing the migrate or takeover operations.
Choose Apply Rehearsal - DNS customization to customize the DNS setting while performing the rehearsal operation.
Choose to create pointer (PTR) records for the host. A PTR record resolves the IP address to the host name. It is used for reverse DNS lookups.
Specify whether you want to abort the DR operation if the DNS updates fail.
For each application specific source IP, select a target IP from the drop down by double clicking on the Target IP box.
Enter DNS registered host name for the application IP by double clicking on the DNS host name box.
Remove the IPs rows for which you do not intend to set DNS customization.
When you complete your selections, click Next
- Verify the summarized information and enter a name for the resiliency group.
- When you finish the wizard steps, Resiliency Platform invokes a workflow which initializes the applications for DR operations. You can view the progress or ensure that this operation is successfully completed on the Activities page.
See Viewing activities.
Verify that the new resiliency group is added to the Resiliency Groups tab.
