You can use Veritas Resiliency Platform to manage and protect your VMware virtual machines configured in the resiliency domain.

The unit of management and control in Veritas Resiliency Platform is the resiliency group. Related virtual machines are organized into a resiliency group and managed and protected as a single entity.

See About resiliency groups.

Using Resiliency Platform capabilities to perform workload management tasks on virtual machines

The Resiliency Platform capabilities allow you to perform the tasks required for routine maintenance activities. For example, stop a resiliency group that contains a set of related virtual machines, update the required software components, and then restart the resiliency group.

Using Resiliency Platform to protect your VMware virtual machines

Resiliency Platform provides disaster recovery operations for VMware virtual machines. For example, migrate your resiliency group to another data center or perform the rehearse (fire-drill) operation to ensure that your infrastructure is adequately prepared for protection in the event of disaster. The replication required for these operations is provided by storage array.

See VMware virtual machines disaster recovery - an overview of key steps.

The detailed information about resiliency group management, virtual machine disaster recovery operations, and Resiliency Platform supported replication technologies is provided in the subsequent chapters of this guide.
