Onboarding for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator - Step 7 Testing orchestration plans & configuring reports

  Testing Orchestration Plans Running an Orchestration Plan   Understanding ReportsTesting Orchestration PlansReview the content in this section and pay close attention to key considerations when leveraging DataLabs for Orchestration Plan testing.Manually Testing Orchestration PlansThe on-demand plan testing portion of the Veeam Recovery Orchestrator allows you to test the recovery of virtual machines inside of an isolated bubble. We've previously covered Virtual Labs and DataLabs in this training. These are the core components utilized to test orchestration plans.Automated Testing of Orchestration Plans: Utilizing the Lab Starting On-Demand Plan Test Configuring Test Scheduling (With Lab Calendar) View Testing Results Running an Orchestration PlanAfter you configure a restore plan, run a successful readiness check, and a DataLab test. The plan can be considered ready for restoration. You can invoke the various actions below for the plan, depending upon the current plan state.Schedule

Onboarding for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator - Step 6 DataLabs and Virtual Labs

  Correlation between DataLabs and Virtual Labs Understand and build a Virtual Lab Isolated Networks and Network Settings Build a DataLabCorrelation between DataLabs and Virtual LabsVirtual LabVirtual Lab builds a Linux virtual machine (proxy appliance) that acts like a router and gateway between your production and Isolated Networks. Isolated network and Re-IP settings are configured in the Virtual Labs wizard. Virtual Labs is a standalone, independent feature in Veeam Backup & Replication. Veeam Recovery Orchestrator leverages this functionality for DataLabs.DataLabsDataLabs requires a Virtual Lab to be built in your Veeam Backup & Replication console. When you assign a DataLab in Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, it makes a one-to-one association between the Virtual Lab and DataLabs. DataLabs is an overlay on top of a Virtual Lab that extends recovery verification into Veeam Recovery Orchestrator.DataLabs is an important feature in Veeam Recovery Orchestrator as it allows you to

Onboarding for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator - Step 5 Understanding orchestration plans

Orchestration Plans Core Orchestration Plan Components Creating Orchestration Plans The Readiness CheckOrchestrator uses the failover and data recovery functionality provided by Veeam Backup & Replication to automate recovery actions taken in case of a software or hardware malfunction. Additionally, Orchestrator supports recovery orchestration based on replicated storage snapshots created on storage systems.Orchestration PlansThese are the plans you build to orchestrate the failover of one or a group of servers.Cloud Plan: VMs will be recovered from Veeam agent or vSphere backups into an Azure Cloud environment CDP Replica Plan: VMs will be recovered from Veeam CDP replicas Replica Plan: VMs will be recovered from Veeam replicas Storage Plan: VMs will be recovered from replicated storage volumes (NetApp or HPE) Restore Plan: VMs will be recovered from Veeam agent or vSphere backups into a VMware vSphere environment (Original or alternate location)Plan Modes and States:DISABLED: Thi

Onboarding for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator - Step 4 Configure Recovery Orchestrator

  Deployment Checklist: Home vs. Administration View: Types of Inventory Groups: VM GroupsDeployment Checklist:Connect to the Veeam Recovery Orchestrator UI, shortcut on the desktop or (Veeam Orchestrator UI: https://localhost:9898). By default, you will login to the home view of Veeam Recovery Orchestrator. (URL will show /#Home)Home vs. Administration View:The Home view shows a high-level dashboard, Inventory group, Orchestration Plans, DataLabs, Lab Calendars, and Reports. Orchestration Plans are configured here, but majority of the configuration is done in the Administration view.  The Administration view is where all the backend and initial integration is done before we create Orchestration Plans. This is the Gear icon in the upper right corner if you are currently looking at the home view. (URL will show /#Config)  Managing Inventory: You can view the currently connect groups by clicking Inventory in the Home view.To create orchestration plans, you will use one or more inventory

Onboarding for Veeam Recovery Orchestrator - Step 2 Deployment considerations

  Business Considerations Deployment Considerations Deployment Scenarios   Infrastructure DeploymentBusiness Considerations1. Risk Assessment:Identify potential risks and threats to the business, considering natural disasters, cyberattacks, human errors, and other possible incidents.2. Data Classification and Prioritization:Classify and prioritize data based on its importance to the business. Determine the maximum acceptable downtime for each critical function. As a part of Veeam Recovery Orchestrator configuration we will want to know what critical workloads need to be protected and recovered. We also need to know how these interdependent workloads need to be group during the recovery orchestration.3. Recovery Locations:Assess the existing technology infrastructure to which locations are best suited for restoration of this data. Select appropriate technologies, such as, hardware, networking, and cloud services.4. Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO):Define
