How Infrastructure Management Servers relate to data centers
Veritas Resiliency Platform provides for the resiliency management of virtual machines or applications by data center. Virtual machines and applications are associated with other infrastructure, such as physical hosts, virtualization servers, and storage arrays. Resiliency Platform includes an Infrastructure Management Server (IMS) to discover, monitor, and manage assets in a data center.
See About Infrastructure Management Server (IMS).
A Resiliency Platform domain can extend across data centers in different locations. Each data center has at least one IMS. A data center can also have more than one IMS. You determine which infrastructure assets to add to each IMS.
In the Resiliency Platform web console, you associate each IMS with a data center location and a data center name (friendly name). If a data center has more than one IMS, the best practice is to associate each IMS with the same data center location and name.
