About working with application recovery configurations

To work with application recovery configurations, sign in to the Disaster Recovery Orchestrator Console UI as a guest user or a recovery administrator. Then, click the Applications menu in the navigation pane on the left. The adjacent number indicates the total number of applications that the signed-in user can view or administer.

The Applications view lists all the applications on which you have the guest or the recovery administrator privileges.

The following figure depicts the Applications view.

Applications view

The following information is displayed in the columns on the Applications view:

Column

Description

Application

Name of the application that is configured for DR

Microsoft Azure VM

  • Status of the application at the cloud site

  • Name of the cloud application host

On-Premises System

  • Status of the application at the on-premises site

  • Name of the on-premises application host

Replication

  • Status of data replication

  • Delay in replication

Operation

  • Name of an operation, if it has been triggered

  • Status of the ongoing operation

  • An action that you need to perform, if the operation has encountered an issue

The Applications view depicts a few more application states in addition to those depicted on the Dashboard view. The following table describes these states, which appear in the Microsoft Azure VM and the On-Premises System columns:

Application State

Icon

Meaning

Heartbeat: In Sync

The application is being monitored and appears healthy.

Heartbeat: Out of Sync

The application monitoring configuration has encountered an issue.

Unavailable

The application is unavailable, because the virtual machine is unavailable. This expected behavior occurs only in the case of the cloud application host, which is deprovisioned after the application recovery configuration is created. The virtual machine is provisioned again during the Takeover operation.

Configuration Incomplete

The application is configured for DR, but the application recovery configuration is not yet finalized.

Partially Available

The application is online, but some of its components are unresponsive.

This view also depicts a few more replication states in addition to those depicted on the Dashboard view. The following table describes these states, which appear in the Replication column:

Replication State

Icon

Meaning

Unkown

The replication file group (RFG) is configured, but replication is not yet started, or the replication service fails to identify the current state of replication.

Error

The replication service fails to receive a response from the secondary site, which possibly encountered an issue.
