Visualizing disaster recovery plan execution for the cloud

摘要

Embodiments visualize the execution of a disaster recovery plan. During a transfer of computing nodes from a source site to a target site, a map user interface (UI) is displayed. The map UI includes a first region corresponding to the geographic location of the source site and a second region corresponding to the geographic location of the target site. An animated progress indicator representing termination of computing nodes at the source site is displayed in the first region. Simultaneously, another animated progress indicator representing initiation of computing nodes at the target site, and further representing a reverse animation of the other animated progress indicator, is displayed in the second region.

主权项

1. A computing device for monitoring and troubleshooting disaster recovery for a datacenter, said computing device comprising:
a display; a memory area storing a master recovery plan, the master recovery plan identifying a plurality of business units in the datacenter, each of the business units executing a plurality of virtual machines (VMs); and a processor programmed to generate a map user interface (UI) on the display during performance of the master recovery plan stored in the memory area, the map UI including:
a first region for displaying a first animated progress indicator representing termination of each of the plurality of business units at a source site, the first region corresponding to a geographic location of the source site in the map UI; anda second region for displaying, simultaneous to the display of the first animated progress indicator, a second animated progress indicator representing initiation of each of the plurality of business units at a target site, the second region corresponding to a geographic location of the target site in the map UI, the second animated progress indicator further representing a reverse animation of the first animated progress indicator.
