With the previous configurations completed, our VRO is ready for normal use. We can log into the VRO console using users with Administrator or Plan Authors roles. In the console, you can access VRO’s customized dashboard, which includes disaster recovery execution plans (Plan), disaster recovery status checks (Readiness Check), disaster recovery testing status (Datalab Testing), and disaster recovery SLA (RPO and RTO status).

Resource Grouping - Compute Resource/Storage Resource/VM Group

Before diving into the operational permissions of Scope, I’d like to first explain the resource grouping methods. These special grouping approaches will be used in the operational permissions discussed later. This grouping method applies to VMs, Hosts, and Storage. The groupings used in VRO are read from the embedded Veeam ONE, which means the actual grouping is completed within Veeam ONE. Generally, the specific operations here can be divided into two main categories:

As a disaster recovery management system, access control is critically important. Therefore, I want to start by explaining VRO’s role-based permission management. In VRO, this permission management system isn’t called RBAC. Instead, VRO uses Scopes to control all user access permissions. Scopes determine which backup and DR resources users can access in VRO and what operations they can perform on those resources.

VRO Basics (Part 1) – Overview

Lei Wei published on 2023-05-24

There’s something exciting happening in the Veeam ecosystem. With the launch of Veeam Data Platform v12, we’re seeing a significant evolution in disaster recovery orchestration. The platform’s Platinum edition now includes Veeam Recovery Orchestrator (VRO) v6—the successor to Veeam Availability Orchestrator (VAO).

What makes this particularly noteworthy is the massive leap forward from the previous VAO v2. VRO v6 works seamlessly alongside VBR v12 and Veeam ONE v12, delivering comprehensive enhancements that transform how we approach disaster recovery. The improvements are so substantial that I’ve completely refreshed my foundational “VRO Basics” series to share everything that’s new and powerful in this release.
