2.3.1 TpdVmWebService

TpdVmWebService is a RESTful Web service, which is deployed as a Windows Service. The major functionalities of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere are implemented with this module. These functionalities are:

■Provides a custom Web server to deliver plug-in application Web pages. vCenter Servers are configured with the address of this Web server during plug-in registration.

■Maps virtual machines and datastores to underlying 3PAR virtual volumes.

■Creates, browses, deletes, and mounts virtual copy based virtual copies of virtual machines and datastores.

2.3.2RMWebAccess Library

NOTE: RMWebAccess Library is deployed as a Windows component dll file and is installed as part of Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere.

Like the InForm Command Line Interface (CLI) and InForm Management Console (IMC), the RMWebAccess Library is used for interacting with the InServ Storage Server array. The RMWebAccess Library does not use InForm CLI but instead interacts with the InServ Tpd TCL Service directly using secure network connections.
