management for instant restore back to production, creating a gold copy of production data
for instant restore should a corruption occur.
EMC AppSync is an application-level data protection management solution for Oracle,
Exchange, SQL or VMware environments which targets the compliance with service level
agreements (SLAs).
This course covers in details all these software components that are included in the Application
Protection Suite.
The VNX Application Protection software Suite simplifies and automates the creation,
management, and use of point-in-time replicas (snapshots, clones, mirrors) of supported
application data.
Replication Manager supports application consistent copies of VMware, Microsoft Exchange,
SQL Server, SharePoint, and Oracle, custom file systems, and more.
AppSync supports application consistent copies of Microsoft Exchange 2010 & 2013, SQL 2008
& 2012 and Oracle 11.2 & Oracle 12c databases.
User-assignable replication privileges provide five levels of access, ideal for both array
managers and application administrators to manage their own replicas.
The suite replication software integrates with other EMC replication technology for VNX
such as RecoverPoint, SnapView, SnapSure, Replicator, VNX Snapshots, and SAN Copy,
to deliver enhanced and simplified automation.
The suite provides visibility of the recovery points in the environment (local and remote snaps,
clones and real-time replication) and identification of issues that can be fixed.
AppSync uses monitoring, alerting and reporting for RPO violations and service plan failures.

VNX Application Protection Suite Fundamentals 10
Replication Manager provides the automation and application awareness for EMC pointin-time replication technology in physical and virtual environments.
Replication Manager is designed to manage and automate snaps, clones, and

Continuous Data Protection (CDP) replicas for EMCs point-in-time replication products
on VNX storage systems and Symmetrix VMAX storage arrays.
It provides a point-and-click management for SnapView, MirrorView, SAN Copy,

SnapSure, and Replicator, as well as the TimeFinder family and RecoverPoint.
Replication Manager is part of the Application Protection Suite for both VNX and VNXe
Arrays.
Replication Manager manage replicas from the context of the application by placing
them in a known state prior to taking a replica; essentially creating consistency for
supported Microsoft, Oracle, and DB2 UDB applications.
Replication Manager auto-discovers the environment (application host, associated

storage, and underlying replication technology) and maps applications on the host to
the underlying storage infrastructure to ensure it knows the location of the production
database prior to taking a replica.
The Replication Manager administrator, who can perform all the functions within
Replication Manager, has the ability to delegate replication tasks to others within the
organization through various user roles with varying degrees of privileges. This
eliminates the need of scripting activities thereby improving the efficiency of the
Replication Manager administrator.
A single management console with wizards for ease of use provides quick visualization of all
replicas and eliminates the need for error-prone scripting.
A typical Replication Manager environment is made up of three major components: Replication Manager
Server, Replication Manager Agent , and Replication Manager Console.
The Replication Manager Server is Windows-based software that can be installed on physical as
well as VMware ESX Server Windows guest operating systems. It controls replication jobs and
stores data about each replica. The Replication Manager Server software has two distinct
components: Replication Manager Server, and Replication Manager Database.
The Replication Manager Server controls and coordinates replication and recovery
activities for all the storage corresponding to its registered agents and their
application sets. The Replication Manager Server also handles all requests from the
console.
The Replication Manager Database is an embedded data repository that stores data
about application sets, jobs, and replicas (these components are defined on the next
slide).
A Replication Manager Agent runs on each of the hosts that participates in the replication process,
including hosts that manage production data and mount hosts. Production servers can run
Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems on physical or virtualized hosts. The Replication
Manager Agent software has three distinct components: Replication Manager Agent, Storage
Services, and Application Agents.
The Replication Manager Agent software waits for incoming connections from the
Replication Manager Server, and then coordinates all operations on the agent.
Storage Services software manages the storage relationships between the agent and
the storage array where the replica resides.
Application Agents for each supported information interface; each agent is separate,
executable, and dynamically loaded with Replication Manager at runtime. There are
various flavors of the agent component, depending on the application being
replicated. The following agents are available: Oracle, SAP, DB2 UDB (Universal
Database), Exchange, SQL server, and Sharepoint.
The Replication Manager Console is a GUI component that is installed on any Windows or
Solaris workstation or laptop with a TCP/IP connection to the Replication Manager Server.
Replication Manager common terms and its definitions are listed here. Please take a moment
to pause and read through them all.
Replication Manager security standards are in accordance with EMCs security policy. The
Replication Manager Administrator login is used to define logins and passwords for each user
and assign Replication Manager roles. Replication Manager has a mandatory password change
for the Administrator password at first login.
The level of privileges each user has is defined by the roles they are assigned. Although some
objects such as hosts, and storage are shared, users own the objects they create, such as
application sets, tasks, replicas and schedules.
When installing Replication Manager Agent software the administrator has the option to set
either the Secure Client mode or Standard Client mode (which is the default). The Standard
Client mode does not require a user to specify a username and password to perform secure
operations. The Secure Client mode requires the user to enter valid user credentials in order to
perform operations such as pre/post replication scripts, mount scripts, or backup scripts.
Replication Manager Administrators can also set security options for the Replication Manager
Server, which allows them to audit their operations by logging certain Replication Manager
activities to the Windows Application Event log.
Replication Manager allows the Replication Manager administrators to assign replication tasks
to others within the organization through various user roles with varying degrees of privileges:
Operator: Has limited privileges to execute existing jobs to which the user has been
given access, schedule those jobs, and view properties associated with application sets
to which they have been given access.
Power User: Has all privileges of the Operator role, as well as privileges to configure
new application sets and jobs.
Database Administrator: Has all privileges of the Power User role, but also has the
rights necessary to restore a replica created by a job to which they have access.
Power Database Administrator: Has all the privileges of the Database Administrator
role, but also has rights necessary to configure storage pools.
EMC Replication Manager Administrator: Can perform every function available within
Replication Manager, such as register new hosts, add and modify users, include and
exclude storage, and access all components without restrictions.
Replication Manager offers flexibility for creating replication jobs. Within Replication Manager, it
is possible to create specialized replication jobs that will run only after another job or use the
replica created by one job as the source for another replication job.
This slide introduces the Copy Job feature.
A Copy job allows a specified job to use a replica created by another job as its source. The
copy job cannot run unless its source replica was created successfully.
A Link job allows a specified job to start as soon as another job has finished. The Replication
Manager wizard provides the ability to choose the application set and then the job associated
with that application set. This allows the selection of any job to link to the current job. If the
first job fails, the second job of a linked set still runs.
Note: If the job has been linked to a second source job is already a linked copy job it cannot
be linked to another job.
A Linked/Copy job combines linking and copying so that one job runs, creates a replica, and
then a second job starts as soon as the first job completes. The second job uses the replica
created by the first job as its source.
The Replication Manager Server DR feature allows an administrator to bring a Replication

Manager Server online on a secondary failover host when the primary host becomes
unavailable due to any failure which prevents the use of the original RM Server or its internal
database. This DR option has disks that are local and not shared to the hosts participating. It
uses the Replication Manager Solid databases replication feature to forward any writes from
the primary RM Server to the secondary RM Server.
When the failover occurs the internal database of the secondary RM server is promoted from
read-only to read/write. Once the primary RM server becomes available again, its internal
database is changed to read-only state, and synchronized with the internal database on the
secondary RM server. After the synchronization, it is possible to failback to the original host.
The disaster recovery feature is supported for all storage and application environments except
those in which the production servers are running Oracle databases.
Some typical use cases for VNX with Replication Manager are in support of Microsoft
SharePoint, Microsoft SQL, Oracle, and SAP.
The typical use cases of Replication Manager with Microsoft SharePoint are non-invasive
backup and disaster recovery. With non-invasive backup, Replication Manager creates replicas
of large SharePoint farms with hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes of data with minimum
impact to the production. These replicas can then be used for restoring content databases or
for making offline backups. When creating replicas for SharePoint disaster recovery uses,
Replication Manager quiesces all relevant components of the farm in an application-consistent
manner so that the replicas can be used for a full farm restore.
In Microsoft SQL solutions, Replication Manager is used to replicate and recover critical
business data of a Microsoft SQL 2012 Business Intelligence (BI) solutions to provide historical,
current, and predictive views of business operations and help the organizations with decisions.
For Oracle, Replication Manager can be used to replicate and repurpose an Oracle Database
without interference to the production environment. Replica databases are deployed and can
be used for test/dev purposes. In this scenario replicas could be also used for quality
assurance (QA), decision support, and backup.
For an example use case with SAP, Replication Manager can be integrated with SAP BR Tools
for a backup and recovery solution to manage the online creation and mounting of replica
volumes that can then be used as a source for backup of SAP application data. In this solution,
Replication Manager creates snapshots of SAP Enterprise Resource Planning system production
data on the VNX storage array, which allows administrators to perform online backup
operations without system downtime, and recovery operations with minimal business
disruption.
This module covered an overview of the Replication Manager solution, its architecture and
The module also explained Replication Manager key features and functionality.
This module covers an overview of the EMC AppSync solution, its architecture and
The module will also explain AppSync key features and functionality, and provide a brief
description of the operations that can be performed on the available management interfaces.
EMC AppSync offers a simple, SLA-driven approach to protecting VMware datastores, Oracle,
file systems and Microsoft applications on VMAX and VNX Storage. It is designed to provide a
better management of protection and replication for critical applications and databases.
The Unisphere-like interface and a lightweight deployment save time and complexity in setting
up array-based protection.
AppSync offers multiple, tiered service plans (Gold, Silver, Bronze) to manage zero data loss
with the leverage of RecoverPoint continuous and remote data protection, VNX snapshots, VNX
Replicator, and Snapsure technologies.
Application owners and virtualization teams can protect and restore their own data, freeing
time and resources for the storage administrator.
An application protection monitoring service allows the verification of data before sending it off
to disk or tape, and generates powerful RPO alerts if RPO goals were exceeded, or if replication
jobs fail.
AppSync creates and manages application-consistent copies of Microsoft Exchange data and
logs, SQL Server and Oracle databases, and of VMware datastores. EMC ItemPoint can be
deployed to provide item level granularity for Microsoft Exchange 2010 mailboxes.
Besides its major components (discussed on the next slide) AppSync has also a REST
(Representational state transfer) interface that allows application programmers to access
information controlled by AppSync.
Check the AppSync Support Matrix for updated information on supported versions of software
and platforms.
This diagram provides an overview of the AppSync solution architecture, showing the major
components and some of the supported replication technologies. AppSync components include
the AppSync server, the host plug-in software and the user interface.
AppSync Server: The AppSync server software resides on a supported Windows system.
It controls the service plans and stores data about each copy it creates. The repository
is stored in a PostgreSQL database on the AppSync server, which can be a physical or
virtual machine. Note: AppSync server must not be used as the Mount Host because the
server performance may be impacted by heavy I/O such as multiple consistency checks
on a large number of databases.
AppSync host plug-in: AppSync installs Lightweight plug-in software on the production
and mount hosts . AppSync pushes the plug-in software from the AppSync server to a
host that is added as a resource. The plug-in can also be manually installed on the host,
in environments that prevent the AppSync server from accessing a hosts.
AppSync User Interface: The AppSync console is a web-based interface that shares the
same look and feel as the EMC Unisphere interface. Supported browsers are Chrome,
Internet Explorer, and Firefox. Flash and Java Runtime Environment are required. Note:
Service providers might make their own interface through EMCs REST full API.
EMC AppSync common terms and their definitions are listed here. Please take a moment to
pause and read through them all.
The AppSync operational process begins by categorizing and determining the RPO of
applications and defining a protection strategy for the application including the costs
associated with each category.
Next step is to select and deploy the appropriate technology and infrastructure within the
AppSync framework that leverages the goals of the service level agreements. The selected
protection technologies will align with the tiered service plans. This process involves the
installation of the AppSync server on the supported host and the AppSync host plug-in on each
of the Application servers. And adding the storage where application data resides to the
configuration.
Then begin to align the best-fit strategy application protection goals to pre-defined AppSync
service plan. Within AppSync we are able to subscribe application objects to a service plan to
begin data protection.
AppSync will discover the application objects on the respective servers.
Protection is started immediately for the object or scheduled.
A local or remote copy will be generated depending on the selected Tiered Service Plan.
The SLAs are monitored and alerts triggered when RPOs are not met.
The copies can be mounted, restored or repurposed and validated.
Additionally, you can configure email alerts to an assigned e-mail address, and run pre-copy
and post-copy scripts.
AppSync can be configured to have multiple users. You can create users that are local to
AppSync, and optionally add users through an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
server which handles the authentication and authorization. Before users from an Active
Directory can be added, the Administrator must configure the AppSync server to access an
LDAP directory server and accept the certificate.
Each user can be assigned one or more roles that correspond to their responsibilities and
requirements. These roles are accumulative, not hierarchical.
Logged level of operations and events can be defined in the AppSync server as well as the log
file size.
The PostGreSQL database on the AppSync server can be protected by using a cold backup
procedure followed by a cold restore.
Roles determine the operations that a user can perform. The initial admin account has all these
roles.
These user roles are: Security Administrator, Resource Administrator, Service Plan
Administrator, and Data Administrator.
Please take a moment to review these roles.
Security Administrator: Manage users that can login into AppSync.
Resource Administrator: Manage hosts, storage systems, VMware vCenter servers, and
RecoverPoint Sites.
Service Plan Administrator: Manage Service Plans.
Data Administrator: Manages the protection and recovery of data.
Database Availability Group (DAG) is a component of Exchange which provides automatic
database-level recovery from failures.
AppSync comes with pre-defined service plans to meet common SLAs for tiered standards or
classifications for Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), with
balancing business requirements and cost.
By default, Oracle DB, Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and VMware VMFS datastores are
protected using three plans: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. These plans utilize block replication
technologies such as VNX Snapshots and RecoverPoint. Service plans run on a schedule but
can be also run on demand.
The service plans act as templates which can be modified to create new service plans with
more refined attributes.
These tiered service plans can be mapped to the best-fit protection technology. The AppSync
service plans can be supported by VNX Snapshot point-in-time copies or RecoverPoints
continuous data protection either locally, remotely or both with multiple recovery points to
restore applications to a specific point in time with unlimited snapshots and protection from
logical corruption or disaster recovery.
In addition, each service plan follows a specific workflow process containing various phases
(e.g. discover, copy, mount, validate, unmount) and allows considerable room for various
custom stages and scripts as part of the plan.
AppSync automates the underlying complexity and coordination of implementation of service

plans. The phases and polices of a service plan for protection, repurposing, and recovery can
intuitively be constructed with AppSync management wizards.
Objects can be assigned to an existing service plan or a service plan created from a template
to better align with the RPO demands for a certain object.
A service plan can be scheduled or run on-demand, and the recurrence defined.
AppSync is application aware by synchronizing application protection with the dynamic

movement of applications and data within virtual environments. Protection method is mapped
with the associated application according to the chosen service plan.
For example, with application awareness for Exchange 2013 Database Availability Groups
(DAG) AppSync discovers the active node and can replicate the active or passive database.
Based on the AppSync Service plan settings, copies can then be mounted to Mount hosts to
run consistency checks.
AppSync will automatically quiesce the application.
Resource administrators can enable self-service service plans for application owners to protect,
restore, and repurpose their production data with any granularity and without involving IT
departments or through administrative processes.
Application owners login to AppSync and see only their service plans.
The application owners have the Data Administrator role and can perform any of the following
operations:
Configure Exchange on a host
Discover Exchange databases on a host
Configure SQL Server on a host
Discover SQL Server instances on a host
Subscribe data to a service plan
Remove some or all data from a subscription
Specify override settings for subscribed data
Select DAG member server and copy for protection
Create a copy on demand
Run a Service plan
Mount a copy
Restore a copy
It is possible to create and manage copies of VMware datastores with the EMC VSI for VMware
vSphere: AppSync Management plug-in.
Virtual server administrators would launch the product through VMware vCenter using
EMCs AppSync add-on to the Virtual Storage Integrator. The VSI plug-in can be used to
perform some functions and it is not intended to replace the AppSync GUI.
The client plug-in provides VMware vSphere datastore with the following capabilities:
Configure service plans
Mount, unmount, and restore a datastore copy
Setting Virtual Machine consistency in the service plan
Setting the port specification when registering different version of AppSync server
credentials for VSI
With the release of the version 1.5, AppSync provides native management of VMware
Datacenter protection. The VSI AM plug-in is still available but not required. If VMware
administrators want to use it in conjunction with AppSync 1.5, the version 5.5 of the
VSI AM is needed.
The plug-in is available as a separate download from the AppSync Online Support page
at support.EMC.com.
AppSync uses monitoring, alerting and reporting for RPO violations and service plan
failures. AppSync records the last time a good copy of the application was made.
If AppSync identifies a failure during one of the processes, it will display a fault condition in the
health dashboard and also send an email alert that shows this failure.
AppSync generates reports that tell the administrator whether the data is protected,
recoverable, and compliant with service level agreements.
The reports included with AppSync work without modification.
AppSync can export reports to comma-separated value format.
Alerts and reports can be easily viewed at the top level of the AppSync dashboard.
Alerts can be sent in e-mail.
This diagram depicts a high-level configuration of a deployed and validated Microsoft Exchange
2010 solution on VMware vSphere virtualization platform and EMC VNX Block storage
configuration.
The VMware ESXi hosts and their associated virtual machines are protected with vSphere High
Availability and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) clusters.
EMC AppSync with VNX Snapshots technology is used to protect Exchange from logical
database corruption. AppSync initiates application-consistent snapshots of Exchange data on
the VNX storage array. AppSync discovers the active node and can replicate the active or
passive database.
Optionally EMC ItemPoint for Microsoft Exchange Server software can be deployed to provide
Application owners quick data recovery with item-level granularity.
This diagram depicts a high-level scenario of a production site with a SQL server and EMC VNX
array configured to provide storage volumes to the application server databases.
The production data is been protected locally for QA and testing, and the remote replicas used
for disaster recovery.
EMC AppSync with RecoverPoint technology is used to protect the production databases from
logical corruption.
AppSync initiates the replication of the volumes locally using RecoverPoint/CDP, and uses the
local replica as the source for a remote replication using RecoverPoint/CRR.
Based on the AppSync Service plan settings, copies can then be mounted to the mount hosts.
This diagram depicts a high-level scenario of a VMware vSphere virtualized environment with
EMC VNX storage arrays configured to provide NFS datastores to VMware vSphere ESXi hosts.
The VMware ESXi hosts and their associated virtual machines are protected with vSphere High
Availability and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) clusters.
EMC AppSync with VNX Replicator technology is used to protect the VMware vSphere NFS
datastores in case of logical corruption. AppSync initiates the replication of the files systems to
the remote VNX storage array using VNX Replicator. Based on the AppSync Service plan
settings, copies can then be mounted to the Mount hosts.
Replication Manager is currently the best way to provide application protection for enterprise
EMC environments especially for support of DB2 and SAP applications.
With a mid-range enterprise focus AppSync is different from Replication Manager in that it uses
the concept of protection policies which are designed to meet specific service level
requirements. The protection policies are fully customizable and can be applied to the
organizations production data with a single click.
As a result, AppSync is easy to use for applications administrators as well as storage
administrators, because the user does not have to be knowledgeable in data replication
technology.
And both products can coexist together.
Solutions Enabler is a software kit that provides special command set to access
Symmetrix/VNX storage.
In some cases, a combination of AppSync and Replication Manager is required in order to

satisfy multiple use cases and applications.
AppSync and Replication Manager can use the same storage array, as long as they are
protecting different hosts, servers or virtual machines.
AppSync host plug-in and Replication Manager clients cannot be installed on the same server.
Although AppSync supports Exchange 2013, at this time, AppSync can only restore individual
Exchange 2010 mailboxes and messages when EMC ItemPoint for MS Exchange is installed.
This module covered an overview of the EMC AppSync solution, its architecture and
The module also explained AppSync key features and functionality, and provided a brief
description of the operations that can be performed on the available management interfaces.
