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 Resiliency Platform is the resiliency group. Related virtual machines are organized into a resiliency group and managed and protected as a single entity.

Resiliency Platform supports workload management (start and stop) operations and recovery operations on resiliency groups.

Workload management lets you perform the tasks required for routine maintenance activities, for example, stop a resiliency group, update the required software components, and then restart the resiliency group.

If you configure a resiliency group for disaster recovery, you can perform tasks such as migrate your resiliency group to another data center, or perform the rehearse operation on the resiliency group.

Disaster recovery configuration requires that you set up replication for your virtual machines. You can set up replication using storage arrays or you can use Resiliency Platform Data Mover.

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