This section introduces the functions and features provided by UltraVR.
Table 1 describes functions and features provided by UltraVR.
Feature |
Function |
Description |
|---|---|---|
Unified management of DR resources |
Automatic storage resource-aware |
Automatic storage resource-aware. |
Automatic aware of the FusionCompute VM resources |
Automatic aware of the FusionCompute VM resources. |
|
Rights- and domain-based management |
Rights- and domain-based management |
Users at different levels are granted different management resources and permissions. Users can only view and operate resources within their permission range during DR management. |
Policy-based automatic DR protection |
Active-passive DR |
|
Geo-redundant DR |
Supports geo-redundant DR based on HyperMetro (SAN) + asynchronous replication (SAN). |
|
HyperMetro DR |
Supports HyperMetro DR based on HyperMetro (SAN). |
|
HA DR |
The HyperMetro technology based on storage devices is used to implement HA DR for VMs using the virtualization capability of FusionCompute. |
|
User-defined protection policy |
|
|
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) satisfaction check |
Enables recovery point objective (RPO) satisfaction check and statistics collection. |
|
One-click DR |
Centralized management of recovery plans |
Prepares recovery plans for applications or VMs based on service requirements. If a disaster occurs, services can be recovered by one click using the recovery plans. The recovery plans are centrally managed and monitored. |
User-defined scripts |
Adds a user-defined script during the recovery process to expand DR capabilities. |
|
User-defined recovery procedures |
Adds or deletes recovery steps for different types of applications and makes recovery execution policies. The recovery execution policies specify whether the recovery is implemented again after it fails. |
|
Recovery settings |
Manages the settings of protected applications or VMs, including whether the applications or VMs are started or not during the recovery, the start sequence, and network configurations. |
|
Fault recovery |
If a fault occurs at the production site, a specific recovery plan can be executed for failback. The entire recovery process is automatic without manual intervention. |
|
Planned migration |
If services are interrupted due to anticipated risks (such as power-cut and routine maintenance), a specific recovery plan can be executed to implement planned migration. The entire migration process is automatic without manual intervention. The DR site automatically takes over services. |
|
DR tests (on an isolated network) |
|
|
Test data clearing |
In the case of no intervention on production services, test data at the DR site can be cleared and resources can be restored to the status before DR tests. |
|
Reprotection |
|
|
End-to-end DR visualization |
Visualized DR protection process |
Monitors DR protection progress and collects duration statistics. |
Visualized recovery process |
Monitors progress and collects duration statistics for processes such as failback, migration, DR test, test data clearing, and reprotection. |
|
Global topology |
Displays physical DR network topologies in a visualized manner, and monitors network elements (NEs) such as hosts and storage arrays as well as the link status between NEs. |
|
Logical topology |
Displays logical topologies of application protection in a visualized manner, showing the mappings and data flows among the protected VMs, production storage, and DR storage. |
|
Dashboard |
Collect statistics about RPO satisfaction, RTO pre-evaluation, top alarms, protection status, and DR test status. |
|
DR report |
DR report |
Generates reports on the running of DR services (protection execution results, actual RPO, and estimated RTO) and DR test reports (test execution time and results). DR reports can be exported to a .xlsx file. |
DR alarm reporting |
Alarm monitoring |
Monitors DR alarms in a timely manner. |
Alarm notification |
Sends alarm notification short messages and emails to specified recipients. |
|
Superb reliability |
Configuration data backup and recovery |
|
Capability of being integrated |
Northbound interfaces |
Provides RESTful and SNMP Trap northbound interfaces and supports DR recovery control and alarm reporting functions. |
