The VMware Live Recovery console provides a single access point to all your VMware Live Site Recovery and VMware Live Cyber Recovery deployments.
Overview
The console provides a high level status view of all your VMware Live Recovery deployments, showing the total number of deployments, total number and overall percentage of VMs being protected, how much protected storage capacity currently being utilized, and what percentage of all VMs are ready for either disaster and ransomware recovery.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Status |
Protection. A green icon (good) means that all VMs on all protected sites and site pairs configured with VMware Live Recovery are protected by snapshot replication. Recovery. A green icon (good) means that all VMs on all protected sites and site pairs are configured with VMware Live Recovery are ready for recovery operations. |
| Deployments | Cyber Recovery regions.Total number of deployed VMware Live Cyber Recovery recovery regions. Site Recovery pairs. Total number of VMware Live Site Recovery pairs configued. |
| Protection | Protected VMs. Total number of VMs being protected Protected capacity. Total amount of protected logical storage capacity being consumed. |
| Recovery | Disaster-ready VMs. Percentage of all VMs ready for disaster recovery operations, which can include VMs from both VMware Live Site Recovery and VMware Live Cyber Recovery. Ransomware-ready VMs. Percentage of all VMs that are ready for ransomware recovery operations, which includes only VMs from VMware Live Cyber Recovery. Ransomware-ready VMs are part of a VMware Live Cyber Recovery recovery plan that is configured for ransomware recovery. |
Deployments
The Deployments section shows all individual deployments in your Ogranization, indicating if the deployment is for VMware Live Site Recovery or VMware Live Cyber Recovery, a deployment status (with instructional information), and VM protection status.
Each deployment tile also provides menu items so you can access and administer each individual deployment.
Possible statuses for both protection and recovery:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green (good) | VMs on all protected sites and site pairs are protected by snapshot replication and ready for recovery operations. All protection groups are successfully replicating snapshots to target systems, and recovery plans are in compliance and ready for failover. |
| Yellow (warning) | Minor errors exist that you should investigate, such as expired snapshot schedule, replication errors such as missing VMs, connectivity issues with protected or destination sites, site misconfigurations, and more. |
| Red (error) | Protection groups or recovery plans are not functioning normally or might stop functioning soon. Critical issues can include loss of connectivity to a protected or destination site, snapshot replication failure, or a recovery plan recovery malfunction. A critical status can also display if VMware Live Recovery cannot determine the status of an entity. |
Information Collected from On-premises VMware Live Site Recovery Servers
In order to display some of the dashboard information, VMware Live Recovery collects configuration, component health, and usage from on-premises VMware Live Site Recovery servers and site pairs.
VMware Live Recovery does not push any information to VMware Live Site Recovery servers and site pairs.
| Information Collected | Description |
|---|---|
| On-premises inventory information Collected once when VMware Live Site Recovery first connects to VMware Live Recovery, then after any changes made to inventory items. |
|
| Health statuses Collected every hour. |
|
| Usage and statistics Collected every hour. |
