About service objectives
Service objectives define the type of protection to be applied to a group of data center assets. For example, an option for remote recovery which allows assets being managed by a resiliency group to be recovered at a remote location (DR) using a service objective can include operations such as migrate or take over. Whereas the monitor assets service objective lets you start or stop your assets within the resiliency group.
From version 4.0, a new service objective template named Multi-RPO recovery of hosts is introduced that manages multiple Recovery Point Objective (RPO) levels. This service objective is only applicable for host asset types. There are two types of activated instances of this template:
Recover hosts with different levels of RPO (monitored)
Recover hosts with different levels of RPO (not monitored)
A new service objective instance can be created by customizing the monitored RPO parameters as needed from the provided template. Using the below table you should be able to conclude on the service objective applicable to the resiliency group:
Table: Service objective applicable definitions
Data Mover Technology pre-configured for workloads | Local recovery of hosts | Local and remote recovery of hosts | Multi-RPO recovery of hosts | Remote recovery of hosts | Monitor assets |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

Note:
If Multi RPO service objective is selected, the Veritas Data Mover (VAIO Mode) should be configured by Resiliency Platform if not already configured for VMware workloads.
Refer See Altering the service objectives. for more details.
The local and remote recovery service objective includes tunables such as Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for assets being managed in that resiliency group and you would be required to select the recovery data center.
The remote recovery service objective includes tunables such as Recovery Point Objective (RPO) for assets being managed in that resiliency group and you would be required to select the recovery data center.
Service objectives are provided as templates that must be activated before use. A set of pre-activated service objectives with default settings are provided.
Following are the types of service objective templates:
Remote recovery of applications - provides recovery operations as well as the start and stop operations for applications.
Remote recovery of hosts - provides recovery operations as well as the start and stop operations for hosts. Also provides recovery of hosts using multiple technologies which offer different levels of RPO.
Monitor assets - provides only monitoring, that is start and stop operations.
For virtual machines you have the following two options for data availability.
Copy: The available technology is NetBackup. This option is available only for VMware virtual machines.
This option is available only if the acceptable RPO is 240 minutes (4 hours) and above.
Replication: The available technologies are Resiliency Platform Data Mover, SnapMirror, SRDF, RecoverPoint, 3PAR Remote Copy, Hyper-V Replica, SVC Global Mirror, XIV Remote Mirror, and Hitachi TrueCopy Universal Replicator, Infinidat.
Note:
Authorization to activate a template and edit the settings depends on the permissions that are assigned to users and groups in Resiliency Platform.
Following is the list of pre-activated service objectives:
Recover hosts
Recover applications
Monitor assets
Local and remote recovery of hosts
Local recovery of hosts
Multi-RPO recovery of hosts
You can view the details of both the activated service objectives and the templates in the web console. You can also delete any pre-activated service objective that you do not want to use in your environment, provided that it is not in use by any resiliency group.
The default pre-activated service objectives do not monitor an RPO. If you need RPO monitoring, activate a service objective template by providing the relevant RPO value.
When you create a resiliency group of assets in Veritas Resiliency Platform, you select a service objective to apply to that group of assets. The wizard then prompts you for any additional information that is needed to prepare the resiliency group for the supported operations.
