In Veritas Resiliency Platform, you organize related assets into a resiliency group that you can protect and manage as a single entity.
For example, you can organize several applications into a resiliency group and name it SQL_Server_Group. Then, when you perform an operation on SQL_Server_Group from the Resiliency Platform console, all the applications in the group are affected. For example, if you start SQL_Server_Group, all the applications in the group start. Similarly, you can organize virtual machines into a resiliency group and perform operations that affect all the virtual machines in the group.
Note: |
A resiliency group must contain similar types of objects, either all applications or all virtual machines. It cannot contain a mix of the two. |
You can create a resiliency group in the following ways:
You can create a resiliency group without enabling disaster recovery for it. You can manage and monitor the group, start it, and stop it, edit it, and so on.
You can create a resiliency group and enable disaster recovery for it. This is known as a protected resiliency group. You can work with this resiliency group just like a managed and monitored group, and you have additional features associated with disaster recovery.
