Verifying the replication status for Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover
After configuring DR using Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover, Resiliency Platform starts replication for powered-on virtual machines. However, for powered-off virtual machines, first power-on these virtual machines to start replication. The replication process begins with a full synchronization of the data between the protected virtual machines on the source data center and the target data center. View the status of replication for a resiliency group from the resiliency group details page.
See Viewing resiliency group details.
To verify the replication status for Veritas Resiliency Platform Data Mover
- Navigate
Assets (navigation panel)
Resiliency Groups
- Double-click the resiliency group for which DR using Resiliency Platform Data Mover is already configured.
- View the replication state at Replication > State.
The replication state is a combination of Data Mover state and Resiliency Platform replication state, the latter state in parenthesis - Data Mover state (Resiliency Platform replication state). The tables describes the function of each state.
Some possible states:
Consistent | Active (Connected, Consistent)
Consistent | Inactive (Connected, Inconsistent)
Inconsistent | Not Syncing | Inactive (Disconnected, Inconsistent)
Inconsistent | Syncing | Inactive (Connected, Consistent)
Consistent | Stopped (Connected, Consistent)
Table: Data Mover replication states
Data Mover state | Description |
---|---|
Consistent or Inconsistent | Data state on the target data center. |
Syncing or Not Syncing | The Syncing state represents that data is in inconsistent state and data transfer is in full synchronization mode. |
Active or Inactive | Replication state on the target data center. Other possible replication states are: Stopped, Stopped on Target Forcefully, Aborted, or Frozen. |
Table: Replication states
Resiliency Platform replication state | Description |
---|---|
Connected or Disconnected | Replication state of Resiliency Platform on the target data center. |
Consistent, Inconsistent good, or Inconsistent Note that Inconsistent good state is not applicable to Data Mover. | Data state on the target data center. |
Based on the Resiliency Platform replication states, note that some disaster recovery operations are restricted:
Migrate operation: Is allowed when replication state is Connected and data state is Consistent or Inconsistent Good.
Takeover operation: Is allowed when replication state is any and data state is Consistent.
Rehearsal operation: Is allowed when replication state is Connected and data state is Consistent.
Resync and Rehearsal Cleanup operations: Is allowed with all states.
