Abstract
This IBM Redbooks publication is designed to give the reader a broad understanding of the IBM Virtual Machine Recovery Manager for Power Systems. Virtual Machine Recovery Manager (VMRM) is a family of solutions that provide high availability and disaster recovery management solutions for users of IBM Power Servers. The VMRM solutions include:
VMRM HA which provides a single site high availability solution.
VMRM DR which provides a dual site disaster recovery solution.
VMRM HADR and VMRM HADRHA which combine high availability and disaster recovery in a single management solution.
As VMRM is based on virtual machine recovery, it is operating system independent and can provide a solution for any virtual machine running an operating system supported by IBM Power.
The Redbooks publication provides a high level description of the VMRM solutions suitable for management who are looking for availability solutions for their infrastructure. In addition, we provide a deep dive into the installation, configuration, and management of the solutions that is designed to help the system administrators that will be involved in the installation and management of the solution.
