Validating an ability to roll back data to an earlier point in time for data associated with a virtual store

An article comprising:

• a non-transitory machine-readable medium that stores executable instructions, the instructions causing a machine to:
• obtain data on components of a virtualization server comprising acquiring a mapping of virtual disks in a virtual store to storage disks;
• obtain data on components of a storage array comprising acquiring a mapping of logical units in the storage array to the storage disks, the logical units replicating data from a corresponding storage disk;
• correlate each virtual disk to a logical unit based on the mapping of the virtual disks to the storage disks and the mapping of the logical units to the storage disks;
• retrieve replication data of the logical units from the storage arrays;
• and
• for a selected virtual store, check that the selected virtual store has a replica for all the required storage disks mapped to the virtual disks of the selected virtual store.

An apparatus, comprising:

• circuitry to:
• obtain data on components of a virtualization server comprising acquiring a mapping of virtual disks in a virtual store to storage disks;
• obtain data on components of a storage array comprising acquiring a mapping of logical units in the storage array to the storage disks, the logical units replicating data from a corresponding storage disk;
• correlate each virtual disk to a logical unit based on the mapping of the virtual disks to the storage disks and the mapping of the logical units to the storage disks;
• retrieve replication data of the logical units from the storage arrays;
• and
• for a selected virtual store, check that the selected virtual store has a replica for all the required storage disks mapped to the virtual disks of the selected virtual store.
