Managing applications for basic monitoring
When you create a resiliency group, you select a service objective that specifies the operations supported for that resiliency group.
There are two types of pre-activated service objectives:
Monitor assets - provides only monitoring, start, and stop operations
Recover hosts - provides recovery operations as well as the start and stop operations
This topic explains how to configure a resiliency group for basic monitoring.
Configuring a resiliency group for remote recovery has additional prerequisites and steps and is described in a separate topic.
When you start or stop resiliency groups consisting of Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), the following services are started or stopped:
SQL Server
SQL Server Agent
SQL Server Analysis Services
SQL Server Reporting Services
For resiliency groups consisting of Oracle instances, when you start the resiliency group Oracle Listener starts if it is not already running.
See Managing applications for remote recovery (DR).
To manage applications for basic monitoring
- Prerequisites
The asset infrastructure must be added to Resiliency Platform and discovery of the applications must be complete. The applications should be running.
For more information on adding asset infrastructure, refer to the Deployment Guide.
For InfoScale applications, the asset infrastructure must be added to the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager and the discovery of the applications must be complete. For more information, refer to the Veritas InfoScale Operations Manager documentation.
For InfoScale applications, Veritas Cluster Servers (6.0 onwards) with Global Cluster Option (GCO) should be enabled.
- 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:
Select Applications as the asset type, select the data center, and select other filters as needed to display a list of applications.
Drag and drop the applications to Selected Instances.
- Select the service objective that provides monitoring and start and stop operations only.
- Supply a name for the resiliency group and submit.
- Verify that the new resiliency group is added to the Resiliency Groups tab.
