Configuring end to end InfoScale VVR deployment using Ansible playbooks

Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) is data-replication software intended to support an effective disaster recovery plan. VVR enables you to maintain a consistent copy of application data at one or more remote locations.

The Ansible playbook now offers a new one-click approach for configuring end-to-end VVR GCO deployment across two sites using single / multiple RVGs with local or shared storage. This improves user experience while reducing overall deployment operations complexity.

You need to use infoscale_workflow.yml and vvr_solution role present in veritas-infoscale ansible collection. Input needs to be provided in vars/main.json file of vvr_solution role (Sample input file are present at vars/main.json location of vvr_solution role).

You should enter all the input details for each cluster, RVGs, GCO configuration details etc in the vars/main.json file. Once the input is provided using Infoscale Ansible modules end to end workflow is generated and executed. The Ansible deployment takes care of the following items:

  1. Install & configure InfoScale stack

  2. Secure cluster configuration

  3. GCO configuration

  4. Storage discovery

  5. Volume & FS creation

  6. RVG creation

  7. Setting up replication

The end-to-end workflow solution can be used on the physical and virtual machine located on premise.
