Monitoring the Cyber Recovery vault status

The Cyber Recovery vault status indicates if the vault connection to the production system is open (Unlocked) or closed (Locked). The Cyber Recovery vault is in the Locked state unless the Cyber Recovery software is performing a replication.

After Cyber Recovery software installation and initial configuration, the Cyber Recovery vault might be unlocked. This behavior is as designed. An initialization might be in progress while you are configuring the Cyber Recovery environment, therefore, the port must be open. The Cyber Recovery software creates a job for the initial Sync operation, which you can use to monitor the operation. When the initialization is complete, the port closes automatically.

If necessary, the Security Officer or an Admin user can manually lock the vault and close the connection. For more information, see Manually securing and releasing the Cyber Recovery vault.

To view the Cyber Recovery vault connection status, click Dashboard in the Main Menu. The state is displayed under Status.

The following table describes the connection states:

Table 1. Cyber Recovery connection states

Status	Icon	Description
Locked		All configured replication connections are closed because no replication is being performed. If a replication policy is run, the Cyber Recovery software opens the connection and changes the vault state to Unlocked.
Unlocked		One or more replication network connections are open because a replication is being performed. The state returns to Locked when the replication completes.
Secured		All replication network connections are secured because a security officer or admin user manually locked the connection due to a security breach. You cannot initiate any replication policy actions. When the Cyber Recovery vault is released and returns to the Locked state, you can then run replication policies.
Degraded		If there are multiple DD systems in the Cyber Recovery vault and one DD system is unable to communicate with the Cyber Recovery software, the vault status is Degraded. This scenario can occur if you change either the FQDN or the IP address of the DD system. An alert notifies you about the Cyber Recovery vault status.
Unknown		If there are multiple DD systems in the Cyber Recovery vault and all the DD systems are unable to communicate with the Cyber Recovery software, the vault status is Unknown. This scenario can occur if you do not create policies when you first install the Cyber Recovery software or if you change either the FQDNs or IP addresses of the DD systems. An alert notifies you about the Cyber Recovery vault status.
