Problem
The failover operation may fail and report the error “Failed to start Protected Domain recovery.“
Troubleshooting
1. If the RocVA cannot establish a connection with object storage, the recovery task will fail. The following example from an MSA support bundle illustrates the problem:

2. Failure events can be observed from the vCenter task list:
3. Validate network connectivity between the RocVA and object storage and address any identified underlying issues.
