Overview of RP4VM on VxRail
The first chapter of this book mentioned how each model of the VxRail bundles some licenses of RP4VM. You can enable the RP4VM feature at any time. If you need CDP for the VMs on a VxRail cluster, you can choose RP4VM. In this solution, you can enable the quick data recovery of VMs at any PIT on a VxRail cluster. When you enable RP4VM on a VxRail cluster, it provides the following key features:
- It supports protecting the VM with recovery at the VM level.
- It supports replicating the VM with VMDK and raw device mapping (RDM) locally and remotely.
- It uses automation and orchestration to enable test, failover, and failback operations of the VM to any PIT.
- It supports optimizing the WAN bandwidth with data compression and deduplication.
- It supports replicating policies synchronously, asynchronously, or dynamically.
- Using the familiar vSphere HTML5 user interface, you can manage data protection sessions.
- The CGs support crash-consistent...
