Monitoring Protection
AROVA continuously monitors the status of protection to ensure that protected VM replication remains in a healthy state. It reports the current replication status in real time and alerts administrators to any errors or issues that may impact protection.
AROVA monitors and reports the following replication and protection information:
|
Monitored Condition |
Description |
|
Replication Status reports the current state of disk replication activity. It can be in one of three states: Active, Issue(s) present, or Stopped. |
|
|
Protection Status is reported as one of five states: Initializing, Initial Sync, Recoverable, Error, or Unprotected. |
|
|
RPO (in seconds) |
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) reports the (current) maximum amount of time (i.e., data) that could be lost due to a disaster event. (E.g., An RPO of 45 seconds means if an unplanned disaster occurs, no more than 45 seconds of time would elapse before the next reliable backup that can be restored.) RPO will typically be less than 1 minute. A high sustained RPO value can indicate potential problems or inconsistency with replication bandwidth and should be investigated and resolved. |

Note: AROVA can notify users about replication and protection failures.
