HPE Helion and Veritas Continuity 2.0

HPE Helion and Veritas Continuity is deployed as a virtual appliance. A virtual appliance is a virtual machine image consisting of a pre-configured operating system environment with a software application installed on it. This virtual machine image can be deployed on a hypervisor. Once the Resiliency Platform virtual appliance gets deployed, you are required to configure the Resiliency Platform component through the product bootstrap.

There is no sequence required for deploying and configuring the Resiliency Platform components. You can deploy and configure the components in any sequence on source as well as target data centers.

There are two virtual appliances available for HPE Helion and Veritas Continuity: one is used to deploy the Resiliency Manager and the Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) and the other is used to deploy the Replication Gateway and the Storage Proxy.

For recovery to cloud data center, you need to deploy at least one Resiliency Manager, one IMS, and one Replication Gateway in the cloud data center. You also need to deploy one IMS, one Replication Gateway, and one Storage Proxy on premises data center.

From version 3.6, the Resiliency Manager and IMS virtual appliance will be shipped with single disk; similar to the Replication Gateway virtual appliance. To deploy the current version (3.6) virtual appliance, this change has been applied. Also, while upgrading the HPE Helion and Veritas Continuity to the latest version 3.6, single disk is shipped.

While deploying the virtual appliances, it is prompted to attach a new empty disk of the required size. The RM disk size should be minimum 100 GB and IMS disk size should 40 GB.

While upgrading the virtual appliances, it will be prompted to attach the existing data disk of the previous version virtual appliances.

In the cloud environment (AWS, Azure), Marketplace offerings are available for upgrading the HPE Helion and Veritas Continuity virtual appliances.
