TOUCH FREE DISASTER RECOVERY

摘要

A Recovery as a Service (RaaS) system including a Configuration Management Database (CMDB), a Resource Planning System (RPS), a Recovery Execution System (RES), and an Asset Reservation System (ARS). A scope for a test or recovery is specified as one or more applications. In one implementation, the RPS can request, from the CMDB, identification of which protected resources are within the requested scope and request the ARS to only reserve assets within that scope. At time of test or disaster, the RES programmatically generates a recovery workflow and initiates its orchestration such as provisioning and/or configuring operating systems, file systems, networks, applications, and data, and executing startup processes. If there are exceptions to automated workflow, then operations personnel may perform corresponding manual operations such as through a ticketing system.

1. An automated method for providing Recovery as a Service (RaaS) to a protected site comprising:
prior to a time for executing a Disaster Recovery (DR) test,
accepting an input specifying a DR test to be executed within the protected site, including at least a scope for the DR test and a designated time for the DR test;identifying one or more protected resources within the scope of the DR test;requesting a reservation for the one or more protected resources within the scope of the DR test at the designated time;associating a reservation identifier with the reservation for protect resources; and presenting the reservation number to a user; at the designated time for the DR test,
using the reservation number, determining a list of protected resources associated with the reservation number;requesting a logical recovery configuration for resources available in a recovery site;programmatically generating a recovery workflow from the logical recovery configuration; andexecuting the recovery workflow in the recovery site.
