The "failover unit" is a Protected Domain. This means all protected VMs in the Domain will be failed over together as part of the same failover task. 

Failover can be conducted in response to a number of different failure scenarios.

    • AROVA fully orchestrates failover of Domains and can be run on the primary or secondary site. Protection of AROVA VMs and production VMs are handled independently from one another. For example, AROVA may lose two zones – R1Z1 and R1Z2 and failover to the secondary region. Protected production VMs are not impacted by this failure and will continue operating in the primary region uninterrupted. In contrast, if production VM disks fail, the primary region AROVA will failover these VMs to the secondary region.

Note: In this section it is assumed AROVA may be running in either region, and is capable of managing Domain failover.
